A bottle of Barbon splash.
The bottle is incredibly wonky and it doesn't look like it has been filled to the top. It's supposed to be 100ml but it doesn't look like it.
Should I contact the Ebay seller?
No, you've not been ripped off on the volume...I got one of these 2 days ago...exactly the same level and I was concerned so I poured it into a measuring jug and it was exactly 100ml.View attachment 58292

As Paul says, if you find them as bad as I did, don't give up on the 1912, just buy the good Personna blades from Connaught.
As soon as pay day comes back around I shall be putting an order in for GEM Personna Stainless at Connaught Shaving. These seem to be what most are recommending.
Every day's a school day.
I have to say Billy, you are in possession of some fantastic looking blades. love them.

I was looking forward to seeing what you thought of the yaqi adjustable. Is it me or does the blade gap look bigger at 1 compared to 6. Could be I'm not looking at the captions to the correct picture.View attachment 58358

Ok its a Yaqi Adjustable, not the best quality, for me a bit of fun and an addition to the collection, its a cheap razor. Not sure when or if it will get a run out.
