Another cracker 10/10 & loved every minute of it.
This Razor is a birth year and i completely forgot i had another birth year razor.
I knew i had the razor i just forgot it was a 1966.
I wasn’t really a floral type guy until i got in to this type of shaving but now i pretty much take to anything.
The blade on its forth use is still superb so i’ll keep going with it.
Stay Safe Boys n Girls we stay in a crazy world.

Razor - Ever Ready 1914
Blade - Gem #5
Soap Gentleman's Groom Room Red, Red Rose
Brush - PAA Starcraft
Post - TDS Kosmetika Rose lotion & Lea 3in1 Balm
Never used a Rose scented soap before - way nicer than expected and quite a complex scent - chuffed I plumped for it.
The 1914 performed superbly! Don't know why - but I remembered the 1914 to be rougher and lower performing than the 1912 - but this shave changes my view or memory. 3 lovely passes resulted in BBS - no weepers, no drama's. A cracking shave that!
The post shave duo provided a combo of Rose and much needed cooling menthol.
Take care all and enjoy your shaves
 
Yep, the '14 is a fantastic shaver!

A tale of two shaves the first whilst away walking in the Malvern Hills and what a scorcher that was! Truly stunning views for a radius of forty to fifty miles a panorama spanning many English counties and the heart of Wales. The shave was excellent even in the rudimentary toilets of the campsite with no hot water but that was a comfort from the brutal heat.

The second shave was from the comfort of home after a shower shaving first my head then face using the now defunct Mickey Lee Soapworks aquatic scented ‘The Kraken’ which is a great performer. Now sat on the patio in the shade on a beautiful sunny morning having a coffee watching the Swifts dart about catching insects on the wing and a couple of Greater Spotted Woodpecker’s on the peanut feeder, isn’t life sometimes simple but grand?
