Sweet! I am sure it is, but do we know if this was another Kenneth Grange designed Wilko?Three days into the new months and no one has posted up a new thread for this month?
Come on gents you are letting yourselves down.
Well, someone will have to start a thread for this month so it may as well be me.
It's not really a purchase but something I am borrowing from my dad, maybe borrowing for my 'permanent collection'
It's a seldom seen Wilkinson Sword Flip top, I will use it for tomorrow's shave.

I've looked that these before and mulled over the metal one ... the handle, I like. If that's what you're really buying it for, sound! You can pop any head on it.Did I really buy this? The wooden one

At last, I've got a Wilkinson sword sticky!
This was delivered today and I will be using the razor for tonight's shave.
Great couple of extras courtesy of @Rohleder , cheers James, top man.

Thank you, I will be using my current blade of choice, Souplex (German)Ah! You bought it! Good lad. I ummed and ahhed but I have had one before. Good to hear it'll be a new experience for someone. Will you be loading Wilkinson Sword vintage into it? I have a feeling it would work VERY well indeed with a modern (German) Wilkinson Sword blade and probably super-super-smooth with a (German) Personna Platinum Chrome.
Have a lot of fun!
Ahhhh, box-fresh vintage! Nothing quite like it ...
Sounds wonderful!Oh, my ...
Test latherI could not wait!
That is THICK!!! Like icing sugar thick! It's mentholated, but not in the modern sense where your face burns, it's a gentle waft of cooling loveliness. Scent? Immediately, I thought lavendar, but I was wrong ... it's darker but still floral. Lilac is more likely, but I think it's got jasmine in there as well. Manly floral (if that's such a thing) like the scents from TDS, the Ukranian soap maker.
