    It has been a long time since I posted a razor on this site.​
    To remedy that, here is what I have been using off and on for the past couple of weeks.​

    the 1904 is a nice looking razor. How does it shave?

    I have the same one, and haven't used it since I got a vintage adjustable. The 1904 proved too aggressive for me at this stage, but I'll revisit it once my technique is a little more refined. Otherwise I really like it, great size and balance, and the smaller handle encourages you to go easy. It'll probably become my travel razor.

    Eye candy, indeed! The 1904 has a great stem. The diagonal pattern, faceted barrel & of course Mercury himself on the tip convey elegant strength.

    Mildly aggressive. Not near as aggressive a the Gillette New Improved or the higher level Barbasols and the 2011 R41.

    Beautiful razor. I've heard others say that it was actually quite mild. I guess it's another case of YMMV.

    I had it and I loved it. The only reason I got rid of all my Merkurs is due to the fact tat i have my dream team of razors now.
