I said not done, did I not

Few shavers just to test the waters, 3W - 5W each, I use these to baby-butt-smooth my moustache area after the DE shave,

All USB-C chargeable, not that powerful but they do the task in hand well - avg cost is around a fiver for each (the green one for example is Lenovo and cost two quid).

The white one, brand AUX, tries to reach Philips levels of performance but of course the shave it gives is not there yet.

The Panasonic is 'Made in Japan' and was purchased to complement my Braun M90, a stealthy workhorse.

Few cases for my watches, this type is the best for me and they are dirt cheap here in China.

Oh yes and a couple of Dupont lookalikes, four quid each, they take Zippo lighter fluid, both very good (I like the logo "Ultimate Justice"...)

How long a time needs to pass before it becomes OK?
Given that your well liked Webers are practically clones of the Merkur 34 design, which may be from the 1930s, but is still sold by Merkur with a few tweaks.

Viking Revolution soap and Yellow Feather DE blades. I haven't had Feather DE blades since I started this hobby.

All new 3 piece designs harken back to the designs of the 1930’s.

I don't think that's quite true, although there are a good few of them.

But if it shaves well and doesn't hurt Randy's pocket, I will try it.
If it's sooo good, I will probably then spend the money to have the original.

Merkur was a Medieval Yaqi then

For long, long time I was hoping that I will get some vintage Feather razor. Today one is finaly in my hands! High Class No. 151 in almost mint codition!
