Thanks Barry! I’ll have a look at that video soon! It is really in excellent condition - I’d dare to say nearly as new if not for few small scratches on the underside and those blemishes on top! Will definitely give it an outing sometime soon! Love the 1912s , they’re great little shavers! This is my 3rd 1912 , for £15 and being boxed, I couldn’t pass it up !Something of interest..
On a personal note i would leave it the way it is. It looks superb, the marks are just superficial and won't effect the way it shaves .I recommend you load it up with a Personna Gem PTFE blade, whip up some nice lather and give this wonderful razor a try out...Everyone should try an Ever Ready 1912'....The soapy bath toothbrush scrub and peek polish is more than adequate to get rid of any nasties, you've made it shave safe....Enjoy your maiden shave with an amazing vintage shaving tool. Yours-Barry.
It's a wonderful addition to your Vintage E-R collection...A great find.
Is it brushless?
It says on the tub that it can be used with a badger brush but I have seen other reviews saying it doesn’t lather thought it would be good for those quick shaves or travel..I think it was @Digimonkey if I’m not mistaken that I saw use it in a SoTd and enquired what he thought… he said he thought it was decent enough for those times you may not have much time to lather, maybe he will chime in with his opinion
Immortal peach? Did it get released again? I’d be interested to hear your opinion on it! It’s one that caught my interest a while ago!
My opinion - thank you for asking - remains the same, pretty much. Brush or brushless - for what it is - it's pretty good at it. Excellent for head shaving. - I.
Thank you for clarifying appreciate it perhaps some of these people who leave reviews just don’t know how to lather..looking forward to trying it
That’s interesting. I get on well with LPL. Opinions differ as to its lather quality, though. I’ve found that my puck doesn’t like too much water on the brush. The trade off is obviously more product and essential oils which must react with you. I can’t use TOBS Sandalwood soap for the same reason; irrespective of hydration, my face looks like a Hallowe’en cake afterwards.
