Ah so the 1912 isn't 'the one'.
Yeah it still is, just look at it! The Clog Pruf for me anyway, feels more like a DE in the hand. The whole look and feel of the 1912 makes every shave feel like you're about to meet Her Majesty.
I love a 1912, especially now that I've discovered shimming it. However, as good as it is, it doesn't come close to the Clog Pruf. Simply the most comfortable and closest shave it's possible to get. I'm still BBS 24 hours later. I've often said on here that I'd defy the best barber with the best straight razor to give me a better shave.
Have to admit, I don't think there's much better than the 1912, the shaves I've had from them are just awesome. It's by far my favourite razor to use, like a special occasion every single time.
I have no idea why, but the Clog Pruf gives me a shave beyond the 1912. I say beyond because I'm still BBS 24 hours after, that's just a fact. I've said it many times, I would defy the best barber with the best straight razor to give me a better shave.
Gordy mate you're a bit of an enigma.
Not really, I think I made it clear that I love the 1912, it looks and feels better much than a Clog Pruf. It always has given me fantastic shaves, only bettered by that shim which I first used yesterday. I'm BBS for quite a while after my shave.
I'm not particularly fussed about the look of the Clog Pruf and I want my SE to feel just like an SE, which it doesn't. Thing is as I mentioned, there's nothing to touch the result of it. It leaves me so smooth, you'd swear I didn't have hair there.
The OCMM was introduced in 1929/30...The New Model with the Nubs & the Double sided blade was introduced in Tandem on 1932/33...The Clog pruf was Introduced in 1941 & the Bullet Tip or Flying Wing as they called in 1947/48..Thanks for all the replies, so it is a Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip. It's a fairly mild razor, so would be good for someone SE shaving for the first time (i.e. me!).
How old is it roughly, when were they made?
