October 11 Haul


I got these pieces from a fellow shaver in California: 3D printed handle with badger knot, Hoffritz travel razor, and Gillette NEW Long Comb (made in England) with short handle. This is a birthday haul. My California friend and I share a birthday, and he sent this to me for my birthday. I sent him Jayaruh #320.

Here they are as they arrived.

The 3D printed brush.


I set to work cleaning up the two razors.


Marked Hoffritz, NY, M.I.Germany

It disassembles into four pieces.

The two-piece handle is self-storing.
The Gillette NEW is in pretty good shape although there is some plate loss on one corner.


Made in England

The all brass handle shined up pretty good.
