After four shaves with the Damaskeene it's time I moved it on, Charliej is next on the list. The Damaskeene shaves much like a regular 1912 but there's something more refined about it that I can't quite put my finger on. The handle is smaller than a regular 1912 but it's still very comfortable to use. The head looks similar too, apart from a difference with blade stops which seem less pronounced. I had three good shaves and one bad one, the final one being awful. SE shaves usually leave me with minimal, if any, irritation but after the fourth shave I looked liked I'd been trying to exfoliate with nettles. The only difference with the last shave was that I switched to Speick cream. Oh well, lesson learned.

Many thanks to Tony for the opportunity to try this one. Being a US model these aren't as easy to obtain (or as cheap) as the British 1912s so once again the lending pool has saved me a fair amount of time, money and marital strife. That said, even though I have many more SEs to try I've a feeling that a Damaskeene might stay at the top of my wish list.
