Thanks Blademonkey - I looked at the picture and some more on Google, including a very good reference in our own cool wall post. It looks to be a side-hinged, vintage DE razor. Is it still in production? I'm guessing not.
What are you waiting on to arrive?

Aye, lads ....... It is indeed a Wilkinson Flip-Top. This was Wilko's 1977 successor to their award winning Sticky. The only problem Wilkinson had with their gorgeous designs was that, while they were busy making their razors look beautiful, Gillette were perfecting their mass production techniques and heading toward market dominance.
They're mild as f*** ........ ergo, they can't shave for s**t ......... But they do look gorgeous

Cleaning out my cupboard found an empty Mitchells ceramic dish, not empty for much longer. Refill on the way and like a true Welshman I can have a bit of sheep slathered over my chops

You will love it, they are more than capable of giving a fantastic shave.
Folding or non folding?

No need to worry, easy to use, just remember to keep the blade on the move and think of it as an actual feather that you are gently passing over your skin. You will be fine.
