First SE shave

[pem]

Flabbergasted is the word, landed a couple of Ever Readies off a member and had a go tonight, what an incredible shave, very tactile response from the razor and the sound!

Makes me wonder why you would bother with any other razor other than for the variety, thy are simply shaving machines, God knows how old mine are, im guessing 1930's, really impressed, just ordered 100 blades and will be using them on a regular basis. Old school rocks!

Yup. Since I got a 1912 last year my other razors barely get an outing. The SE is always the first one I reach for.

Ssshhh... This is a well kept secret! Most folk are content with a DE razor, lets keep this to ourselves, right? LOL

I've never gone back since switching from DE about 12 months ago.. Way less irritation and as you say the ..the noise!

If it's a British Ever Ready, it'll be 1930s; USA potentially from 1919 although the Ever Ready trademark did not come into being until around 1924.

are you guys talking about something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ever-Ready-English-Vintage-Razor-Patented-1912-/201049532368?pt=UK_Collectables_Barber_Shop_Collectables_LE&hash=item2ecf7c67d0

That's the one ( one style anyway )

You can get mint ones for about a tenner though

 

[BraveBlades]

yeah i wasn't looking at that one specifically

---

meh - all the mint ones are touching £30 on the bay of E
Maybe i'll pass on this particular RAD moment

 

[pem]

Ask on here, i got two mint ones for £20, a British and a USA made 1912.

I'm also a big fan. Do find myself reaching for the Progress for under the nose and around my mouth as just can't manoeuver the larger head properly to get all the stragglers!

But does seem to give a great shave even after the first pass.

Curious to try the Cobra too now although I can't bring myself to part with the cash required for them! Maybe later in the year!
