Greetings,
A maiden shave for two recently required items,firstly the OSP Grapefruit & Menthol soap which provided me with a wonderful cooling slick protective lather for the shave leaving a nice post shave feeling to the face,bought as a summer holidays treat to myself, a perfect soap for the hot weather we've been having recently.. And secondly, the Ever Ready 1912 (eng) in it's original bakelite box bought from a car boot sale, by a mate of mine, for the grand sum of £4.00, both the razor & case are in excellent condition, it's probably been stored away gathering dust for a longtime.After a soak in boiling water for a few minutes then a little scrubbing with soft toothbrush & washing up liquid, rinsed q-tipped and rubbed down with a soft cloth,and a few drops of wahl clipper oil on the back hinges.
Loaded up with the Gem PTFE coated blade on it's 4th shave it was ready for it's maiden shave. All in all both the ER 1912(Eng) razor,and the OSP soap are wonderful additions to my shaving den,what's even more amazing, is both items cost me less than £20..This month i've struck gold! the wonderful performance & results from both items is Superb.I'm well pleased.
Another fantastic silky smooth efficient shave, compared to the 1912 USA version,i found the English version slightly more aggressive, but not harsh in anyway i could feel the blade more, and it only took me a few strokes to adjust to find my shaving angle. The gem blade was still showing no signs of bluntness, performing with smooth sharpness with each pass.
A very enjoyable 3 pass silky smooth maiden shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with some generous squirts of Tommy Hilfiger ~ Bold EDT to the pulse points.
My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.
