Along with your Merkurs, check out one of my go-to shavers, the HD Rocket. In fact, it shaves very much like another of my favorites, the Merkur HD 34C. Have fun with it - many choices! ADD: The '40-'50s Aristocrats are also great shavers and you can often pick up individual razors and sets for a reasonable cost as they're pretty plentiful.
Man, what a peach of a razor. From the look of things, the lather catcher profile in my current collection needs to be expanded. As always, Dave, if any of these razors need a warm place to winter, you know where I live.
would love to have a lather catcher someday. Opportunity has not presented itself... Please clarify - in the lather catcher era; juniors take modern SE blades and gem's took wedge blades?
My 1908 Ever Ready takes standard, modern SE blades. I would guess this would be true of the later razors too.
yes. there was also the new gem and the zinn gem. the new took wedge blades and the zinn took a proprietary blade.
I know I'm new here, but.... I agree with the Rolex and the Duofold (especially if it's yellow or orange), but the guitar should be a 1959 Les Paul Standard.
My Merkur Vision is THE razor for me. Just looking at it, you know you're going to have some sort of experience with it. I know some people don't like it, but I personally Love it.
Only problem is it wouldn't be a Rolex, it may be an original Heuer before Tag, an IWC or something like that. Guitars; Les Paul...of course.
