It could have been from normal wear, or a previous owner wanted it to be a three piece and sanded down the bump a little bit. It won't affect anything in a negative way, it just allows the knob to come out just like a Single Ring or a New Standard etc. The Long Comb New is a wonderful shaver, I wasn't saying anything negative about your razor, vintage rocks!Does it mean my razor was somehow damaged...??
This was the razor when I received it...I did send it for replating but it was done terribly. It was in 3 pieces when I received it...
Thanks for your help here...

Hey, no worries at all...I'm more than happy to have someone point out and comment on my gears, especially vintage razors. I agreed on vintage rocks as I have more than 10 vintage DE/SE razors. I much prefer to collect antique straights now...hahaha, I'm patiently waiting for an old-old (1800) SheffieldIt could have been from normal wear, or a previous owner wanted it to be a three piece and sanded down the bump a little bit.

'Twas I, @Digimonkey and it was actually the TDS rose (and a Wickham English Rose sample) that got me started Superb quality and probably the pick of the TDS scents IMHO - with the lilac coming a close second.....Somebody recently - sorry, can't remember who - made what I thought was a very valid point, in that they wouldn't have believed pre 'proper' shaving that they would come to be so attached to rose scents.
Somebody recently - sorry, can't remember who - made what I thought was a very valid point, in that they wouldn't have believed pre 'proper' shaving that they would come to be so attached to rose scents. My equivalent has been lavender - if you had suggested to me that I would end up with so many variants of soap, splash and scent I might have suggested that you were mental and I was more likely to paint myself purple and change my name to Susan. There you go - we live and learn. Rose, though, is still uncharted territory for me. I've come to quite enjoy the TDS take on the theme - unlathered, I'm not so convinced but it opens out into something not far off turkish delight. Very pleasant in my opinion. I have nothing but praise for the TDS soap base - excellent in every respect. Finished off with the rose-heavy Dior parfum. A week of superlative shaves comes to an end - I wish the same to you all - hasta pronto - I.
