Tues 9th May
RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
La Toja cream
Ever Ready 1914- 12 tooth
Gem coated [ 5 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
La Toja A/S lotion
My first time in a while that I have used the 1914 without a shim. Had almost forgotten the sound it makes when cutting, as well as amount of blade feel- which warns you not to rush. In comparison all my modern SE Razors feel quite mild and more forgiving.
Whilst the Shave was smooth enough, there was always a hint that if not careful the Razor could bite. I was pleased to be rewarded with a nice close all round Shave. I think much greater expertise is required when using Vintage SEs, so anyone trying to make the jump from modern SEs to vintage may be in for a surprise.
