1. The cap is brass, but with a higher copper content, hence the look of copper. It makes for a good looking razor when polished up.

  2. Thanks for that info. Can we assume that it's original, not re-plated?

  4. You are down to the bare metal. Gillette used copper caps and brass handles.. then they would nickel the handle and then gold.. caps got gold but no nickel

  9. Very nice! The label on Kyoto is beautiful, sounds like the best of the 3 new scents IMO. Apparently they have tweaked the formula a little bit as well.

  11. I agree. Hope it smells as good as described, really like the aroma of yuzu and the woody notes sound excellent.

  13. Hoping this purchase turns out to be as described. I have been more into historical shaving items recently, and this fits the bill

  18. Nice haul. Where are the matching AS's?
  19. My skin hates matching aftershaves, only used Witch Hazel and Lucky Tiger.

  20. $20 more on Amazon and the Bay that what we paid from VS and from experience with VS shipping probably faster shipping to boot
