I'm calling it - They're both mediocre.

And last but not least, first of 2 chisel and hound brushes, my pics do not do it justice - and a couple of bonus sweets he threw in.

These bad boys arrived today thanks to @Blademonkey for selling them to me.
A set of Kropp razors.
The 8/8th axe really does have some weight to it and looks so huge compared to my other razors.

The 8/8 is enormous.

I think it would make little work of shaving a hairy man's hairy back.

Beautiful razors though.

I have the Diver Down AS and love it!! Get ready for a face tingling!! However, it is not menthol nor synthetic menthol. It's spikenard which FWIW is mentioned in the Bible.

To be honest i was quite disappointed to find out it had menthol of some sort as i have enough soaps with it in.
I do like it but just felt i had enough.
it’s quite weird really as i’m unsure if it’s only the CK6 that has the menthol or if they both have it.
It seemed there was a contradiction in terms on the website although that might now be changed i haven’t checked.
But your right i’m looking forward to it for sure

Cheers @Rohleder

I've been in this DE shaving hobby for about 5 to 6 years and I'd never felt the urge or curiousity to go down the vintage Gillette TTO route until quite recently.

This old English Rocket was too tempting to refuse so here I am.

Looks a beauty as well, I'm really pleased with it and look forward to finding out how it will perform in the shave.

Nice, will probably be a smooth, comfortable, efficient shave, like a Superspeed, good stuff! (y)
