Good deal Robert,
Nice that the Hoffritz fit you well, and with a Feather blade to boot. I never have used that blade in any of my slants, figuring it to be just a bit too sharp for that type of razor. Yeah, I can see how that set up could do a close shave pretty easily for the right person.
The slant's a good change of pace razor to have in the arsenal,

Here's a few more slant pics, including the rare and famous Lady Pomco razor. This thing's a real piece of work, with two different sides to the head. One side is curved for the delicate underarm area, and the other's a slant type for legs. Heh, I did use the slant side (for science) and the thing about tore me up. The Lady has a sassy side!

So Martin if I like the slant which one of your selection are you going to sell me the ??????........ :roll: :roll: ...........you know you want to...... :lol:
dodgy said:Hiya,
Ok, I just couldn't resist a few more pics of this lovely piece of shaving history. I'm thinking about a price...........
missingskin said:Well Martin, you could always sell me that cheap Hoffritz in the blue box you have I mean it would not be fair to take your best razor off you. I don't want you to get sellers remorse.........or at a push the Dovo might be an option if you twist my arm enough........... :roll: :roll:

First of all, thanks for the concern about potential sellers remorse. I hate that even more than non buyers remorse......actually I hate em both the same amount. You are a sensitive man to think of my feelings.
So I couldn't get you to bite on that near mint condition Merkur travel set? Yes, that is genuine plating loss on the head, and you might have noticed that line of corrosion underneath the edge of the top piece. The best part is some of the teeth have actually been eaten away and are just sorta nubs. Now that's something you don't see every day.
Yeah, I spent more time than I should have trying to clean this nasty piece up. It was so funky when I first bought the thing for just a couple bucks, and I was hoping a long hot water/Dawn soak, and some Maas and scrubbing bubbles would fix it right up. This poor thing was seriously abused with no way to make things better. Sometimes I do get lucky, but this wasn't one of those times...........heh.
So, how does $90 sound? I think that's a fair price, especially considering the case is included. If that's not expensive enough let me know so I can adjust things. This would be a piece you'd be proud to post in your SOTD. It will provide you with a unique shaving experience.

Oh.....for the moment I have to keep that other junky looking boxed Hoffritz and the other two slants. The Dovo was marketed in the US by a company called J. Corrado and was sold in their store under their name. If I'm not mistaken, that company also sold some really nice straights as well, back in the day.
Ok then Steve, I'll send you my paypal info and will wait for the cash to hit my account.
Your best buddy,
Martin
