I'm afraid I don't know what that is, other than an older injector. Enquiring minds have to know! ?

Type F injector made of Aluminum and Brass without plastic or bakelite that I hope to polish up to a glossy shine.

I have to blame this one on Dave in KY who could not bring himself to pull the trigger so I had to take one for the team.  My order:  MacDuff's Trail Tobacco soap and aftershave together with the Backcountry Bourbon aftershave to match the soap I already possess.

The book Moby Dick by Herman Melville begins:  "Call me Ishmael".  Thus the reference to the White Whale.
CHAPTER 1
Loomings
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Glenn, I knew what you were referencing. I look forward to you review of the soaps especially the backcountry bourbon.

Razorplate can refurnish and gold-plate the brass parts.  
I had one before like yours, He made it look like new. Cost around $70.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I can't get it to a level I'm satisfied with.

Looking forward to your impressions of these (on the MacDuff’s thread, presumably). I’ll be sharing my thoughts of Whyte Saffron once I can give it another try.

You rang. 

I absolutely love Backcountry Bourbon soap, the only one I have had a chance to try.  I am still awaiting delivery on the rest.  The performance of the soap is really good and the scent is out of this world; however, this is based on only one or two uses.  Highly recommended so far.
