The patent on the Merkur Futur expired a few years ago. There is a copy now made in China. I wondered what they were like so I ordered one. They sold me this razor with a Boar Brush for $21.93 with free shipping. They simply called it a "High quality male double edge safety shaving razor". I read a review on another shaving site. It was said to shave like the Futur and missed only the mark between each number. I look forward to seeing it for myself. The price seemed great. Now how will the razor be?
Pretty good price to test it out. I've read mixed reviews on owner's experiences, but overall, for the price, it seems to be a fairly respectable knockoff.
A british made Pal Injecto Matic Ive only ever seen this handle version once before and never have I seen this case.
I just ordered the Stirling brush and some soap samples. Won't be able to use them before December though
Yesterday, I scored a 1939-1941 US Aristocrat. It is on its way from Seattle. I already have one, but it's pretty beat up. I hope this one looks a little better than the one I have. http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/151850268743 The photos don't really show much, but the price was right.
I decided to celebrate the election of the new Canadian Prime Minister by buying a Canadian-made shaving soap which is supposed to be hyper-mentholated like the Glacial soaps - let's hope it is! 1x First Canadian Shaving Soap Company Polar Vortex SS
Glad to see a fellow member bought this piece. I eyed it but Toby is making me a custom so held myself on this on. Excellent work from Toby
Sweet handle Mark!! Forgot to ask you over on your SOTD, how are you liking the Small Batch Shave Tonic.
I truly enjoy my SS Helix and I have regretted not ordering a custom one from Toby before he closed the list. I had to be the fastest typing fool ever to get this one.
Thanks Guy! Toby's handles are worth the wait. Look forward to seeing yours. The Shave Tonic is my Numero Uno Bay Rum Aftershave. I use it on no shave days, after my shower.
