Buying British

used to be a pleasure. But Wilkinson Sword are owned by a US group and do their manufacturing in Solingen, Germany. So I shall be comparing and contrasting another German brand, the ice-tempered Timor, and the Japanese Feather brand. Thanks to a recent blip (and I can't remember whose) for introducing me to the exacting and precise niche world of DE blade reviews (you need to be a certain age to recognise DE shaving), and thence to Carter and Bond, whose customers seem to have cultivated better beards than mine.
