October 2016 Acquisitions

My "BNIB" PAL Injectomatic arrived today. The cellophane has gone a bit crispy, but it's a sealed packet nonetheless. The price marked on it is half-a-crown or 2/6 aka two pre-decimal shillings and sixpence. For those of you who missed the happy days when there were 12 pence to a shilling, 240 pence and 20 shillings to the pound, the price equivalent today is 12 1/2 new pence (or "pee", as they are now known).

I don't recall ever buying space-age PAL blades that rode on liquid ball bearings. Better knock something up on Kickstarter pronto.

Thank you for your comment, what blades do you favor in yours?

At the moment, I'm using the Schick blades, made in China, which come 7 to an injector in the blister pack with mainly yellow cardboard. I think I got the last lot from Connaught, but they're quite dear at £20 odd for 21 blades.
The other ones I have a fair lot of are the Personnas, which are much cheaper at £20 for 100 blades. I can't say that I've noticed a major difference between these.
I'm also psyching myself up to cut down a Feather or Kai blade and have a go with that.

Thank you Pat, I'm afraid it's not for me because I don't like menthol, but I'm pleased you like it. Thanks for the congrats on the razor, used this morning and it was great! :)
