A very interesting read

A few years ago Brian Krampert – the man who makes one of my favourite aftershaves – posted an in depth history of the Valet Autostrop; a razor I consider to have one of the more steam-punky looks of them all.

If you haven’t read it already, I strongly recommend going and doing it now – it’s a very interesting read.
