1947 new/tech hybrid
derby premium
razorock barrel 24 finest badger
ariana & evans asian pear
good morning gents,blew the dust off a rare brit,the new/tech hybrid.this razor is the last hurrah of the new rfb,modernised with a safety bar instead of an open comb and factory plated in rhodium.this is the last of the machined brass base plate 3 piece razors.the flat bottomed techs and news were stamped brass,reducing manufacturing costs.hard to find and pricey,i was lucky to acquire this from a friend and avoid the $200+ u.s price tags these sets can command.there have been a lucky few who scored them as mislabeled brit flat bottoms.
..loaded the derby premium blade.these are fantastic blades and i have 100 on the way..smooth and sharp.loaded the new to me/just arrived a and e asian pear with the barrel badger.fantastic lather,and got a fabulously smooth bbs in 2+ passes.asian pear aftershave to finish...awesome.fabulous scent,post shave feel and performance.a and e are definitely in my top shelf rotation..
have a fine day everyone..
