A wonderful old skool set up.

Excuse my ignorance but what does "ER Man" mean?

The 1912 has totally transformed my view of razors.

I am amazed by the performance these provide and I must take time out and thank @Blademonkey so much for starting me on this path.
Vintage all the way for me.

Thanks in advance.
Wayne.

Switched back to the R41 after a few months hiatus, wow, it is incredible just how good this razor is.

It was my daily shaver for a good few months and only changed as got the RR Hawk, but can see this being the exclusive razor for some time again.

Cheers!

ER Man is an internal reference (for me) to my latest acquisition ...

It's a quite rare case (and well into the 1950s) featuring the age-old Ever-Ready shaving man.

Friday evening...

Soap - P&B Star Noir
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - Gem SS
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera; BBA Post-Shave Balm
Smell - Al-Rehab Silver

The Gem had its maiden voyage tonight and I thought it deserved one of my top-notch but seldom used soaps (in the interests of preservation, you understand); the Star Noir.

A tremendous lather from this soap; very thirsty, but protection, glide and slickness is that expected from @phoenixandbeau. I love this scent and post-shave feeling.

The Gem gave an outstanding shave; incredibly efficient with careful use. 3 passes and a quick touch-up. A burst or two of the Silver and good to go for Vietnamese food tonight.

Ah! I understand now.

I haven't seen a case like that before.
Great catch.
