But I don't think the animal was killed for the fat, just a byproduct of the meat industry. Humans are omnivores, we eat plants and animals, no need to waste the fat.Lard is Animal Fat , so from dead animals. Hence the Death Reference.
It was said in jest, although I've heard of shaving with lard or "Crisco" and it's supposedly a superb alternative to shaving soap, just messy to clean up after.Lard ? It’s vegan

The Culmak was added to the picture just in case the little Vintage set brush disintegrated during use. No need really, i loaded for about 25 seconds and set about a face painting / scrub lather, i was really surprised how well it worked, yes it needed a bit longer but the lather was perfect. The Razor Blade combo worked really well during the WTG and then an ATG pass for a really comfortable finish. I enjoyed that!

The "little fella" standing between 2 x 26mm knots. The handle is definitely a natural material, i am not sure if it is Bone, Horn or Ivory, the handle unscrews at the mid join and has a flat unscrew-able bottom disk to close every thing up (3 Pieces). It has plenty of backbone and a bit scritch. It is quite well made and sturdy, it shed about 3 hairs during 2 a pass face lather and looks OK after a rinse.
I may have to add a Wee Scot to the collection now.

I know it was but lard is pig fat and it’s a vegan soap so it’s a bit off if you know what I mean but no worries Toby Like water off a ducks back know your sense of humourIt was said in jest, although I've heard of shaving with lard or "Crisco" and it's supposedly a superb alternative to shaving soap, just messy to clean up after.
Canada used different numbers, and we don't have a breakdown other than some guesswork over at B&B, but the early numbers run pretty close. The year is probably correct, and it is a Single Ring, but definitely not a Tech which started in '38 in Canada and the US. The set looks like one of the many aftermarket sets that used Gillette razors and sometimes other parts. Are the cans marked Gillette?Its a Canadian 3 piece, Base plate fixed to handle with cap screwing to the long "pin".
What do you recon i have then Toby , i could not really find anything about it, the info i had, I'd matched on one of the Gillette vintage sites from the stamped number IIRC.
Thanks for the info on the brush handle.
