Tomorrow Never Dies arrived... ..joining up with Goldfinger #Wilkinson #Protector #JamesBon #CartridgeRazor #Pokemon
My Black Friday purchase arrived yesterday. I picked both of these up at a great discount. The Rockwell blades were a freebie.
How much is enough? I have about 325g and have the suspicion it's going to last a very long time. (Have the same amount of Dusy, so I am set for awhile).
It was a rather "Wilkinson T70 heavy day" today as I received three ones (from two different sellers). 1) The rather elusive red-dot T70: Arrived with a bunch of cartridges as well: 2) Two early T70 sample razors straight out of Germany: These are very light weight and the design resembles the traditional Wilkinson Sword bonded razors even more. I would argue that the T70s being sent out in these sample packages were actually sample models of the regular Wilkinson Sword bonded ones (both will take the same cartridge I believe).
See you over in the cartridge appreciation thread It'll be very interesting to hear how a Feather cartridge performs
Today was my own little pre-Christmas Christmas. When I returned from morning errands, these were waiting for me: a new fedora from Hats in the Belfry; a RazoRock Plissoft Synthetic brush; and Proraso Red soap. I picked up the watch while I was out. My father received it in 1976 for 25 years service at American Cyanamid. It became mine a year later when he died. I foolishly wore it as a teenager, and cracked the crystal. So, last week, I took it to a watch repairman who replaced the crystal and the band. I think I'm old enough now to wear it without damaging it.
Received this black Wilkinson Sword Bonded razor, NIB, with the more unusual full sword logo on the handle. Sigh, another one to take the decision on if to open or not....
