More to follow, my friend.A big Simon's Cat fan here
As for the Unknown blade @NotTheStig i do not think it is a Polsilver as i really did not get on with those and sold on or PIF'd what i had. Also the Paper wrapper was a heavy white paper similar to the Kai wrapper. I could be wrong though as my technique has also improved.Can't be certain of course but I have some Polsilver Super Iridium that don't have the brand name on the top of the blade but they do say Extra Stainless at the bottom in that sort of font.
Could be one of those.

A Gillette old type cap should fit the base plate pretty well. At least it does mine.Monday 27th November

Ahhhh ... a fresh Treet Platinum. Lovely!
Revisiting with Muhle R89 which had been tossed into my bits box in favour of vintage and more desirable things. In actual fact it is a superb razor (which we all still recommend as a first razor to newcomers ... or a Tech) which has already excellent tolerances so that the blade just sits right without fiddling. Easy to find the perfect angle and just lets the shaver get on with it as they please.
I have a renewed appreciation of this humble razor and rather with there was a straight-up stainless version of it. Sure, there's the Rocca which is (heresy ... don't tell my Hybrid Tech ... or @TobyC) my favourite razor and could only get better if there was an all brass version made ... but this R89 really is solid! An all-stainless version would be really fly.
... and yes, I'm going for a lavender week with Dr Selby, Boots Old English Lavender, Ach Brito and Brut. I probably have some other lavender things which might occur to be during the week.
