The 1912, everyone should have one, or at least try oneTues 28th Nov

I have a new found liking for the ER 1912, which I always found to be a harsh shaver. Perhaps a light bulb moment, when I realised that the later versions i..e. Bathroom/Peerless were made to take the modern Gem Blade. Older versions were made to take blades which were rather thicker, so modern blades unless shimmed could be a bit rough.
My Shave yesterday with a 1912 [ Bathroom Set] was really good, so today I chose a Peerless 1912. Since using AC/SE razors I think my touch has lightened , which really helps as to master the 1912 one has use a light touch/ no pressure technique. Pleased to say that again I had a really smooth and comfortable Shave, with a super close all round finish.Will in future use the 1912 more, as I have been neglecting it in favour of a 1914/1924. Having finally got it right, I know why Paul @pjgh rates the 1912 so highly.

Well I am sure others will agree this SOTD photo and set up is awesome my friend.Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Personna Tungsten (22)
Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band
Soap: Nuavia Blu
A/S: Floid Blue
Scuttle: Junichi Tanaka Blue
I am very tired of this setup. I have been getting great shaves each and every time, except when I don't screw up the water, soap effect. When I open my Doug's Den I hear brushes, razors, and After shaves screaming at me to use them. Only 2 more days and it will be mission accomplished. :happy088:
I'm also running out ideas for SOTD photos.

Wayne you are the second person to say that and you're spot on. It sits under the thumb perfectly and nice and big too. I found it under a table in an antique shop, I paid £6 for itLoving the design on your custom bowl.
I would imagine you can get stuck right in with the lather because of that handle orientation.
Enjoy!
