I've found a good thread there ... yes, some good details about factory years and preceding letters.
https://www.badgerandblade.com/foru...gle-rings-with-british-patent-numbers.396922/ ... sounds like even with the code, it's conjecture with these early razors.

I've read some of that before, good stuff, but it would take a week to go through it all, especially if you follow the links!
Did they ever create the wiki page?

Been so impressed with the blackland sabre I thought I'd give the machined blackbird a bash (we'll see whether I should have gone for the OC rather than the SB), just had to pick up the terror balm to complete the set whilst I was there.

Shaving Time can do one now as well, how dare they send me an email...
How did they know I didn't have an adjustable in the mix!

Well, after setting myself a monthly limit and already having made 1 order nearing that £50 limit, I've just smashed it! I was looking for a few blades, as I wanted some more Perma-sharp and the wife and son needed some more Astra greens. I also thought I'd try the Nacet and Sputnik, however I saw the blue splash and ended up chucking the matching pair in - damn you impulsive purchase thoughts!!!
I actually blame everyone on here too! Although I have resisted spending 100's on the razors, brushes, blades soaps and creams I keep seeing and liking on all of your posts! Me and my newbie "I want" attitude!!!!

I looked and was tempted for a short while, but as I've ordered a Gillette Slim N4 birth year adjustable from the States which is currently being reconditioned (according to latest update). I wasn't entirely convinced I 'needed' this one.
As I'm also not quite sure when the slim will be finished, posted and arrive, I'm not actually saying it is an 'acquisition', or that I'm waiting on it quite yet; as soon as I know it is on its way, then and only then will I start to anticipate it's arrival!

Sadly I'm so weak willed I wasn't even tempted for a short while, the email popped up and 3 minutes later it was in the basket...

I got the Barbershop soap and aftershave recently. Great fresh menthol hit. Very Epsilon Blue-esque. You’ll enjoy it!

Been using TOBS cedarwood but thought I’d try something new.

Arko and Tabac. Two of the most marmite scents in wet shaving but both with superb performance.
