1st April - Ever Ready 1924 Patent (1924)

[pjgh]

Fire up your shovel heads, lads ... 1st April is patent anniversary day!

See: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=30342

I'll be going with my pillar base, as per the one in the patent. If you miss this, there's another on 2nd June (1925) which I think is for the more regular type of base. Either way, 1st April is the 1924 patent and we call these "the 1924", so 1st April it is.

See you in the morning

Paul,
A bit short Notice for those who go early to bed, and shave early. Having to move cars,
had quick check on site,and saw your message. Was having a break from SE, but have
now loaded 1924 up . Do not have an early one, but will give it a go anyway.

Celebrated Patent Day- With 1924.

After a few days with DE razors, loaded up 1924 [ blade on use 5 ]. Am amazed at how
easy the Shave was, and the results really good.

Perhaps the DE shaving helped, as it seemed that the Razor Angle needed on different
planes of the Face varied, from flat to a similar angle required with a DE.

Got my 1924 with a feather blade out for a wheech over the bathroom sink :icon_razz:
