What razor is that pleaseJust in
Awesome! I hope that you will post a SOTD with this soon.Big surprise today. A well-meaning relative, clearly sympathetic to my RAD madness, got this little fellow off the Bay as a late Xmas gift for me. An Ever Ready 1914 (aka the 'Little lather catcher')...been after one for a wee while. A few cosmetic scuffs and brassing on the comb but, aside from that, in reasonable nick, I think.

Looks absolutely gorgeous. I hope that you enjoy the upcoming shave with it.Billy
Thank You..Its a 1st Class Shaver..Looks absolutely gorgeous. I hope that you enjoy the upcoming shave with it.
Thanks...I was disappointed at first. As we know, these razors were made for wedge shaped blades and the contemporary ones (Gem Personna) can move a bit, as they're slimmer. So my first shave was a bit hit-and-miss. But, with a full shim to increase the width of the ridge end, matters improved. It is, I suppose, what could be called 'aggressive' though. Quite rough on the upper lip; but that was operator error, I reckon.Awesome! I hope that you will post a SOTD with this soon.
Enjoy your retirement Martin.Hiya,
I retired last month just before Christmas and somehow got a bit of a bonus that I was planning on buying a gently used Harley with. I've had 4 bikes in the past including Harleys and Nortons and Beezers, but nothing for many years now. Looked at a few at some dealerships and realized my motorcycle riding days were behind me....well riding one safely anyway.
So instead I recently acquired a tiny two seater 2008 convertible called a Saturn Sky which most of you never heard of. Got a turbo hooked to a 5 speed tranny and it's pretty fun, plus it's got a LOT more protection than a bike does. Pretty well loaded with options in a dusty blue/gray color with a tan top and just under 33,000 miles. Heck of a kick with the top down, having tried that once so far.
Hah, not that I am trying for feeling younger than my true geezerness or anything......

Are these as good as the lodz stainless steel blades and where did you buy these? Thanks.Thought I would try some of these I really like the Polsilver Stainless from the Åódź factory so hoping these are as good as most people report.
