    I've been looking for a Personna Floating Head injector. When I find one, I hope I won't be disappointed.

    For me it’d be a Swing Sweden DE safety razor or a vintage Matador DE. Been looking for both of these for a while now...

    A&F is a Merkur version of their very rare OC slant. I know of three versions: A&F, Merkur, unbranded. The cap has more similarities with the regular Merkur slants than with the Valencia's. It is a model I'm still looking for, large Merkur OC slant shaped hole in my collection.
    Valencia are beautiful razors, where I like the thin handles even more than the fat handles. I've several of these.

    Look at the tradera.se site. Most sellers are willing to ship outside sweden or the nordic countries. Check the Frakt/shipment section.

    What do you mean by "The cap has more similarities with the regular Merkur slants than with the Valencia's."?

    The A&F slant I saw looked exactly like an old type Gillette head, aside from the slant twist. The regular merkur slants have a trapezoid shaped top cap.

    A toggle would be pretty cool. Also the brown mustache my husband used to have. Explanation- it was mostly dark, until he shaved it off when he was in Iraq. When he grew it back, once he came home, it was pretty white. He insists that it's because Amazon sent him the wrong mustache.

    An Iwasaki tamahagane razor or a blade made my Yukio Kamijo. That isn’t asking too much is it? <sigh>. ;)

    That is pretty interesting to know, as I now have yet another item to search for. Still, Merkur used different type caps: their superslant has what is basically a Fasan-cap.

    If someone starts making a good lime foam (looking at you B-sol) I'm putting back a case. Or two.

    Had one briefly about 10 years ago. Shaved the same as the single ring, near as I could tell.
