Paladin Strawberry Amber Sherlock 26mm Finest

My first Merkur Futur.
Never having handled one of these before I was rather surprised at how heavy and solid it felt. I'm thinking this will be pretty fun to shave with.

This one is a NIB/NOS razor from 1984-1989 and have W. Germany stamped on the inside of the head.

Just arrived, Vie-Long Epsilon Krion LE 3-Band 27x50 Silvertip

The handle has a wonderful weight to it, and definitely feels more substantial than the regular handle, which has always been these Epsilon brushes' downside. Very much looking forward to trying this one out in the morning.

Thank you, Oli.

The handle is Chubby 2 size but with more weight. It feels perfectly balanced in my hand.

I quite like the idea of the 2-band to get back into the badger game but when it came back up for sale yesterday it was gone in minutes

It actually came up for sale again, Oli? I had an email to say it was back in stock, but when I looked 20 minutes later, it was still showing out of stock, along with all the others. I assumed they hadn't updated the website as they couldn't all have sold out.

Congratulations, David! Lovely brush!

I assumed it had because of the email.
