March 2018 Acquisitions

My 80s Hoffritz Futur arrived. Sure is shiny. Other than the "West Germany" on the bottom plate and Hoffritz on the cap it appears exactly the same as a current production Merkur. Weight 123g.

I must say I am surprised how much heftier the original is compared to the QShave, I don't know how anyone could not tell them apart.

I ordered quite a few shaving cream samples that just arrived. I've got:

Cyril R Salter French Vetiver
D R Harris Arlington
Meissner-Tremonia Moroccan Rhassoul
OSP Barber Shop
Proraso Wood & Spice

Wanting to try a wide range of makers to hopefully find my favourite and then I'll try a number of scents for that brand to find my go to cream.

Recently moved home and my soaps just don't seem to be performing as well as they used to in my old place.
 
Not shave related but I thought some of you might be interested.

Sold my LINN LP12 after 15 years ownership. Bought a Well Tempered Versalex and a Trilogy 906 Phono Stage.

Nothing in position yet plus I need to pick up some interconnects tomorrow. So I can't actually listen to it yet. I wasn't expecting to pick it up today.:oops::D

My Schick Repeating Injector arrived today, looked a grubby little thing but after a washing liquid and warm water scrub and a polish with some Peek it is a beauty. Given it a soak in some barbicide and loaded a Proline B-20 ready for action.

It took about an hour to realise that it was improperly assembled then after watched a YouTube video I loaded it up with some trepidation and it worked, loaded the blade. I tried a second which didn't work properly and snapped but that my fault, third and final attempt was perfect again.

Quite an improvement with only a single quick spit and polish.
