Thank you James, very kind of you! Yeah just missed out ordering one..and signed up for availability updates so I am hoping they will have more. My interest was piqued by the price and currently owning the "Wunderbar" slant which is amazing. All I can do know is wish you a terrible shave! I'm kidding of course!!
Actually I'm sure you will enjoy it..going by the "Wunderbar" standards!

Sent you a PM re my spare Mamba

Your mate has a talent. What is the coin, please?

Managed to snag an original matching box for my newly acquired J. Nowill straight razor:

I've been busy re knotting this week. This Stirling brush handle was kindly gifted to me. I buffed out the Stirling label, gave it a polish and re knotted with a TGN 28mm 2-band.

It'll now sit for a week but once that knot has fully bloomed it'll look fabulous.
