Fun
Funny you should mention that. I took possession of exactly the same razor yesterday, sent to me in pristine condition by a member of this forum. I shimmed it up as recommended by @Fergiebilly and gave it a go with some Proraso menthol pre-shave and Proraso green.
Took a while to get the angles right, but a really striking shave. I'm looking forward to more of the same.

I'm now 4 or 5 shaves into SE. My only complaint so far is that the shaves I am getting are so close that I could almost get away with shaving every second day. Very smooth, and I find the 1912 to be a very user friendly razor - okay, it's a slight challenge under the nose due to its shape, but with some familiarity in hand, I find it less likely to produce nicks and weepers than many DE razors.
It's one of the great value propositions in wet shaving. These razors are cheap, Billy's advice on the shim is free, and the results are, for me at least, outstanding.
