Waiting on the postman for a Razorock big Bruce. After a couple of weeks using the keyhole (22mm) and the Bruce (24mm) I Just couldn’t resist. I also threw in a couple of packs of Gillette Nacet to use in a slant.
Unpacked these two this week. Thanks to my buddy @benos and to USPS for being so efficient with International shipping!

Birthday month
And I think it is a 1933-34 Gillette New Red & Black set. I could use the experts to weigh in on the razor.
Their Bergamot Lavender witch hazel is outstanding in both scent and performance.Birthday month I've asked for a few shaving items, I also decided to treat myself to a few early birthday presents Soaps and blades are all brands I have yet to try and it's my first Stirling Aftershave Balm as well (although their Witch Hazel is a permanent fixture in my routine)

Are those Heritage brushes or vintage reknots? They look mint!
Vintage reknots.
From the BST listing:
11-12) green Ever-ready 200 3 step with 24mm T&S full moon knot, used 3 or 4 times, $60. Immaculate
13-14) clear Every-ready 1CS with 22 mm Maggard knot,
immaculate $50
15-16) red Every-ready 200 3 step with new 24mm T&S full moon knot, immaculate as well $60
They all have the appropriate stampings on the bottom of the brushes.
I've seen pics of the Heritage brushes, but I think they are marked differently so that people can't pass them off as vintage brushes.
