I am a novice at this but I am guessing that it is to enable a handshake between different sites, quite why we got a phishing warning I don't know.

I flagged it up because I must admit to being a bit twitchy about scams, there are so many warnings around about being on alert.

The technicalities and minutia of it aren't particularly simple (here's a general overview: https://lform.com/blog/post/ssl-certificates-for-dummies-what-they-are-and-why-theyre-important/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate ).
The useful bit for users is that when you have a particular domain name and a certificate for it, someone has verified that the domain belongs to a person or an organisation.
The degree of verification varies depending on how much the person/organisation pays for the certificate, but is matched by the grade of the certificate (see the articles linked above for details). They are also usually time-limited.
Browsers recognise certificate vendors as well as the grade and expiry date of a certificate, and will complain when they do not recognise the vendor or if the certificate has expired.

What it means in this case is that either no recognised certificate vendor has issued a certificate for go.atgshaving.com or for *.atgshaving.com, or that the server isn't configured to use a certificate for the domain.

Thank you for doing that. Going to that trouble was very kind.
I went a bit cross eyed, but I think I've got it.
Merry Christmas.
