Have some great shaves!

A shave from a couple of days ago. Nice shave but the B1 was clearly a step towards the near perfection of the Schick C3. Fun nonetheless

This shave was about eight years in the making. This was the first SE I bought in my fevered early RAD stages. Somehow other razors were quickly acquired and jumped the line before I got back to this nice Clog-Pruf. Well, it’s been patiently waiting and today was the day. Excellent shave if just a tad milder than what is ideal for me. Glad I finally got to it

My last two shaves were fun.just comparing some more razors to the British Ever-Ready 1912. The first picture is with the American 1912. This particular razor is an excellent shaver. The 2 were actually extremely close. The second picture is with the quite rare Ever-Ready 1909. The 1909 beat the British 1912 in shave efficiency on a single pass test. I then used the 1909 to complete the shave.
