According to someone on badger and blade, they came on a few NEW models made in England.
Brut AS bottle got a makeover + Aloe Vera.

EBay find - BNIB persona BBS-0 for £12 posted… and a free culmak brush (no clue on a knot size but assuming 18mm or somewhere around there? )
Thanks that’s great to know! Still debating whether to open it up or keep as display piece… I’ll take it easy with the brush, gave it a clean and a test lather (in hand) - and was positively surprised!Glydex, I believe was the marketing name ... both razor and Super Stainless blades of the day.
Nice little brush, too. The smaller knots are actually really nice to use and smushed into the face give an exfoliating effect. The bristles take a lot longer by today's standards to wear in, but they will ... don't accelerate that by abusing it.

Brilliant - I’ll give it a go - thanks a lot Paul! Fingers crossed it’ll stay presentable hahaWith a lot of these packs, the glue holding the plastic to the cardboard becomes ineffective with time. Maybe a little persuasian on one by gently bending/rolling the card against the plastic would get it to free up. Only a little movement is required to get the actual razor out ... and back in again.
Hence it's called WarhammerI think I could beat someone to death with this thing.
I also like the fat handled flat bottom tech, I have 10 razors and I use the tech. I find it very hard to beat.I’ve got a 50’s English heavy ball-end Tech from the bay on the way. Can’t seem to grab the photos though. Been looking for an inexpensive one of these for a while but they don’t seem to pop very often. It’s almost always the aluminium version. Just one more Tech to go and that will do me - the so called ‘Spiral Tech’ but nickel plated solid brass. After the last couple of shaves with my fat handle, flat bottom Tech, I’ve been wondering if there’s any point in using anything else. A nine out of ten shave every time with ease and not so blade fussy as long as it’s towards the sharper end of the spectrum. Better blade clamping than almost any other razor I’ve used and by’eck owd lad, ‘tis brass!
PS. If @pjgh has photos of the above two to hand, I’d love to see ’em.
