Thanks Rob. I'll check my mail!

I like the Westminster square mic with white button (or I have black and orange button, I think for Met Police). The AM inserts are very nice for SSB. I would put one up against a Shure 444 and in a blind test I reckon it might win.
They go like a bomb on Icom IC202s.

The shaver mic was indeed a style thing. That came from something called The Concern Design Center in Eindhoven. So did the PF8 Bodie-fone. Piggyback on the Philishave & Ladyshave popularity. They also gave us edge mounted controls driven by tortuous gear chains to meet the requirements of that style council. Late Philips Cassette Recorders I'm looking at you! There was nothing wrong with the EL3302 method.

No not much between T401 and T4001. I think some tweaks to decoupling and screening gaskets to pass stricter type approval regs. Basically I think they are the same circuitry.
