Greetings
What a lovely razor the Ever Ready versions of this razor are uncommon enough compared to the GEM version but the Gold ER version, you certainly don't see many of those. Am I right in thinking ER called it the De-Luxe set, natural angle razor?
Smashing! Don't ever sell it (unless it's to me!)
Regards
Dick.
Hi Dick
A good question, and I don't know unfortunately! I bought it from our own Sunburyboy and like it very much indeed.
WEDNESDAY EVENING
Prep: Hot flannel and Prep massaged into beard
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Feather Professional (1)
Brush: New Forest 2221
Cream: Cella - face lathered
Post shave: Alcolado Glacial (AAAARRGGHHH!!) and Proraso balm
NOTE TO DODGY - READ NO FURTHER
What a pleasant surprise. I did a lot of research before buying this razor and was expecting it to be uber-aggressive. Maybe even R41 or Joris aggressive.
And after my Feather Artist Club disaster I was in trepidation about using these blades again.
Anyway I loaded it up and started shaving. I really gave it a featherlight (arf, arf) touch as I was expecting it to slice through everything and maybe leave me with no lips!
Anyway, it's given a superb shave. BBS with one weeper by the side of my mouth but almost zero irritation (if there is any the Alcolado Glacial will find it!) The head is huge so it really mows down lather with each swipe.
And I find the handle really nice to grip too. Not sure if it's due to me having big hands but it worked well for me.
