Wed 21st June

Supply Single Edge V1 - plate 3 with Schick Proline Type B. [ 1 ]

Every Razor has a blade that works well with it, this it for the Single Edge. From an OK razor to a good one.

 

Thank you . I am pleased with the replating work done by Nick at Sport Shaving.

 

Man knows how to keep Cool..and be styling at the same time!

 

It really is a gorgeus piece of kit....A serious shaver could settle down with that one and make an honest shaver out of her for the rest of his shaving days...and be very happy...

 

Yep, it's a beauty. Damn, another razor on my list.

Herm

 

I agree. It's everything I hoped for in a Gem razor

Thanks Herm. I snagged it on another forum BST. I have a Damaskeene SB and just couldn't resist the OC when it was listed.

When I used the 1914 Ever-Ready for the 1st time a few month's back I got the best shave of my life, and it my favorite safety razor. I got a second one from Karl a few weeks back and I figured I was good with my 2nd backup razor, but last week i won this on flee bay..it was poorly described and cost 23 bucks with the shipping. i was surprised at how well preserved the blades are. man there thick, should i use them? ?

 

They look good. I would give it a go. Just have the first aid kit nearby.

 

Sure give them a try. They will probably not be really smooth though. Being that thick they could be freshened up. I think @twhite can give more information there.

 

I have to keep a harem......

Well worth the hunt!! It's almost like a lather catcher shave!!

 

They will be fine if there is no rust. They will need a good stropping. Do not apply to much pressure Stropping. Light pressure is your friend.

If by chance you have a Stropping handle. You can give it a go on a finish hone. That will give it a good edge.

Let us know how it goes.

Just dropped by to show off my new Eversharp-Schick G4 in silver with blue handle. It was the "gem" in the middle of a lot I just got.

 

@wchnu , did you say we're piffing a Schick G1 across the street?
I thought you did but I can't find the post...

 

Beautiful Jim. I do not have one of those......yet

Yea. A very nice one..with some personna blades!

 

Very nice injector shave today. BBS in 3 passes, but did get a couple of weepers. Going to use the injectors for a little while to get the technique back, it's been too long.

OC DAMMY

Round 2
Tonight I opted for a New Carbon Gem blade. I chose not to shim it. Man was I not disappointed. 3 pass BBS. I seldom get what I consider a BBS.

As you might know, last shave I used a freshly honed Damaskeene blade. This was an outstanding shave. The new Carbon blade was even better. I am finding this razor to be VERY smooth but deceptively efficient. Right there with a 1924.

My next shave I will use my regular Dammy with a Gem Carbon blade.

I forgot how wonderful a SE shave is.

My very first SE shave was with an Ever Ready 1912. After the very first shave I never used a DE again. Say for a hand full of times.

HAIL TO THE MIGHTY SE
