    Waiting for a Simpson Trafalgar T3 synthetic (should be here this week).

    My favourite synthetic is the Simpson CH2 "synthetic bristle" ... I hope not to be disappointed by the Trafalgar :)

    As I understand it, the fibres are different from the ones in the CH2 knot, but reviews are positive. We'll see :)

    I ordered another Essence open blade razor tonight. This one I actually purchased. I now own .601% of all Essence razors. Which is a fancy way of saying I now own 2.

    Mexico Gillette Knack in super über rare red color and even better: My birth year and quarter 1973 T-4 date code! So, awesome razor for any Gillette collector and overwhelmingly awesome for my Gillette birth collection!

    Any chance they made a V2 or 1975 variant?

    Thank you Cliff!
    I don't know Jorge. I had no clue this color existed at all. I just happened to stumble across it on Razor Emporium's website. And of course being that I purchased it from Razor Emporium, I paid much more than I normally would for a regular run of the mill Knack, which I already own a 1973 T-1 USA variant, but between the super rare color and being a T-4, no way I could pass it up. I find it super cool that even after all these years, we still find new Gillette stuff we didn't know about.
    Whew it does! Really looking forward to having it in hand and taking lots of good pictures.
