*I bought a pair of Hoffritz razors in Berlin in the eighties from a second hand shop. $20 for a slant and a conventional closed comb which was cheap but East Germans loved dollars in those days. The more I look at them the more I think they’re Merkur clones. I risked one of the old blades that came with them and no problem. Any idea anybody regarding approximate age?

@Boycie83 's Terror BST yesterday reminded me that I still had a dab left of the Cryogen sent to me Si @Scorpio93 a while back. If my last shave with this monster taught me anything, it's put your contact lenses in BEFORE you get any of this on your hands :eek::rolleyes:
I do love a bit of menthol, and the cryogen's hardcore, but not overly so. Bit of a buzz and on we go. The Slim Twist with the Super Blue was exceptional.

First Shave back in Norway and this one was Superb.
I was a bit worried about what i brought out with me this time due to all the luggage problems so iv went with a lot of samples,
I did bring other soaps & creams but everything i brought could be easily replaced if i had any luggage issues,
Fortunately i was good & got my Two suitcases.

Im not a Trumper regular but i have to say i will be from here on in.
This shave was right out the top drawer.
My favourite Sandlewood Scent is OSP’s however i have to say this one is right up there for me.
Between this and Eucris & Spanish Leather they are all main stays in my rotation & once i get a trio to the shop i’ll probably get some others.
I really am taken back with these creams. it seems like the shaving world has all but forgotten about the soaps that were main stays a few generations ago.
Can’t wait until my next shave with Trumpers
Stay Safe Boys & Girls
