Injector & SE Party !!!

ATTA BOY!!! Let the Magic begin...Hydro-magic that is.....lol!

 

Gary knows me too well......"Pre-regret plan".....I love it!! I might have to write a tune named that ...maybe a blues... or work it into the title of my auto-biography...lol!

 

The clog pruf has been on my must-have list for some time.

 

Thanks Tom! I needed that!...

Now I need some dry clothes....

 

You've always had a good eye for a great razor...

 

I shaved with my shavette one day and my ER 1914 the next....actually kind of the same thing, the sound was similar and the attention to angles, but the finished product?...The ER'14 actually gave me a closer shave...lol!.....Yep, the '14 is a must have!!!

Here's a couple bad pictures of my "14"...the pictures are not fuzzy...this is just how I see it without my glasses...

 

Anyone know if the ER 1914 has a unplated brass version? I've looked on ebay and found no prior.current listings. I have a strong preference for the unplated brass razors because no matter (to an extent) what their condition they can be shined up real nice plus i just love the color.

 

Cannot find an ER 1914 un-plated brass version.
However here is a "brass" Clog Pruf

yes, there are plenty of those (Clog Prufs) around for mad cheap on etsy and ebay

 

This thread convinced me to take the plunge! In today's USPS I received these,


I'm going to use the Damaskeene first due to all the good reviews. I have some CVS SE blades that I will use (I have some others in route).

I have a couple of questions:

1) The Ever-Read has some brassing on the lip that's a little rough. What can I use to smooth it out?

2) Any guesses of the year of the Damaskeene? I've seen others that only say "Gem Damaskeene Blades" where this one says "only use with Gem Damaskeene blades"

 

semi-Cross posted from SOS: Up this week is my GEM 1912 w/ the chain link handle w/ Pella PTFE blades and HTGM Cavandish SS.

 

If it's stamped GEM Cutlery on the back of the frame it was made prior to the merger in 1919, those made after the merger are stamped GEM Safety Razor.

 

It's Gem Cutlery Company...thanks for the info!

 

AHH man!! There are many who say that Grand Dame is the best razor ever....I can not find one reason to argue with this.....How does yours shave?? Don't make it tardy to the party with the 'Maiden Voyage' Report and spare no details no matter how insignificant they may seem at the time....lol!!
Also that ER1912 which came out after 1930, is also a beautiful to look at and fantastic shaver aswell....Congratulations are in order...

 

NOTICE!!!!!!!

March 24th is the 100th Birthday of the fabulous and dear to our heart EVER-READY 1914

I know the folks at alot of the shaving boards and especially the folks at "The Original Safety Too" site that specializes in SE's and Injector's ...Will be havinging some kind of Birthday Bash for "THE LITTLE LATHER CATCHER"...
I would hate to see us miss out on this.......Lets kick it around......What do you guys think??....I've already changed my Avatar and will be doing as much 'Little Lather Catching" as possible between now and then....
Now let me hear your ideas on how best to honor this heart stealing example of fuctional art the ER'14...

 

Besides just shaving with them I can't think of any other way to honor them. Maybe unique pictures of them.

 

Or cake. Cake is good. And streamers. Lots of steamers. I love the little thing, but find currently available blades not quite sharp enough. But I will absolutely use one of the 4-5 I own on the appointed day!

 

Anyone say cake?
Where's cake?
I want cake.

 

I can't wait to join the SE party.
You guys seems so much cooler than those DE guys I've been hanging out with.

(Kidding. Love you DE guys!)
