Tue 13th October The Grosvenor -Mixed Lea Classic soap ER 1924-Claymore handle Gem S/S [ 2 ] Lea Classic A/S Lotion Missing a Shave is getting more common with me, perhaps a sign of the times. Well todays made up for a rather disappointing one on Sunday, with my usually dependable Streamline. This was my second using this particular ER1924, and perhaps I got the lather a bit thin but I completed the Shave without problems, and the overall finish was what I had hoped for on Sunday - uber close with the skin feeling refreshed.

Hey all I just wanted to get some of your thoughts on the Ever ready single edge razor. I'm usually a double edge or straight razor guy but I was going through my den and I found a Ever ready single edge and what looks like a barely used blade for it so I figured I'd take it for a spin but I just wanted to get some thoughts on it first. Also it seems like it uses a proprietary single edge blade so if I do decide to keep using it are the blades still readily available?? Thanks in advance for your thoughts everyone!!
i had a mint british eveready 1912 setfrom the 1930s.i used it a couple of times and liked it.but it was at a point where i decided to use gillettes only so i passed it along..
