Shave of the year, so far ...

Wonderful! Seriously, the best shave I've had this year. Very much enjoyed.

What was it, you say?

Lovely soak in the bath with a bottle of Guinness XX and a good prep wash using a mildly exfoliating charcoal soap from EcoCalm.

Dried off, I wet my face again and using a Haryali synthetic knot fixed into a lovely horn handle from Ganvillage Green, I loaded up with RazoRock SMDF. Lathered, building on my face and taking my time ...

I've bought and sold over 250 1912s, more perhaps. I have one which came in a case that I'd never seen before, the Ever-Ready man inlayed into a bakelite case and a regular 1940s British 1912. Mint, I think. New blade and off I went.

Perfect! Just perfect.

Hot rinse to cleanse off the soap. Cold rinse to refresh. Splash of RazoRock SMDF Aftershave and patted some Pinaud Eau de Portugal on my remaining hair.

Champion!

No photo today, but:

Hot Towel, Fine Snakebite, RazoRock Monster, Merkur Futur (4/2/2), Astra SS (11), Cold Rinse.

A mighty close and COLD shave, that left my face feeling fresh and invigorated.

Sunday...

Soap - Cella
Brush- Semogue 1520
Face lather
Razor - Schick Injector G8
Blade - Schick Proline B
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
After shave - Floïd Mentally Vigorous

Lovely close finish this evening. It's nice to use the Cella again and these Proline blades are the perfect balance of sharpness and smoothness.

I agree, the 1912 was advanced back in the day, but they're most assuredly science fact. And from what I gather, both ATT and Rocnel have failed to better (or equal) it.

Ha ha - spot on description. Yours - I.

If the Rocnel-SE had blade stops, or a head which had an extra 2-3 mm in width, then I would argue that the their 'modern' gem would be a classic. Having never shaved with a 1912, I don't know how the two razors compare, however, I find the Rocnel to be a fabulous razor.

That said, the Blackland Sabre, in my mind is a classic razor. I appreciate that YMMV I would love to hear how others feel the 1912 compares with the Sabre.

RazoRock SMDF is fantastic.
