March Haul 2022

[SlimGem]

I wonder if it's easily taken apart and reassembled if the spring needs replacing. That's the only thing Roger was concerned about lasting and I didn't ask if it's replaceable.....

The razor can be disassembled, but it would put some stress on the shaft since it goes past the halfway point into the handle and requires flexing for removing. The spring is near the bottom of the handle. After my response about the spring, I aquired new SS springs with a shorter compression range and a 0.5mm wire diameter compared to the original 0.28mm. All the razors I sent out last week include the new SS springs and new shafts with a positive stop. It was part of my final tweaking. I will definitely use this spring-loaded mechanism on future razors, especially a half DE version.

Friend in Canada is sending this my way. A friend there passed away and he was selling shave items for the estate. I asked if the mug was there when I bought a razor back I sold him years ago and it wasn't. Months later now he said he got another box to liquidate and it was in it. Said he was sending it free of charge due to my generosity to him in the past. I'm giddy like a school girl. Now I'll have my backup Wchnu   Hope the video link works ?

I posted this in the chief of the day but I forgot to post it in the acquisition thread.
Here are my two recent 3D printing Raynor acquisitions. The Raptor V2 in black and red and the Injector in white and blue.
