Single edge razor of the day.

[Satanfriendly]

How are you finding it @Satanfriendly ?

Really good. Still early days but exceptionally pleased so far. Sits towards the mid aggressive. Certainly not mild and not life threatening either, unlike some evil sods out there. Granddaughters?

Nicely made and very sturdy with good tolerances. The finish is to a cost (as most bead blasted SS razors are) but not rough and very acceptable. I just wish it was shiny. I like shiny. Speaking to ESC shiny may be on the books

Today I used one of my ER !914s, a Travel Kit type as the one shown in the case. A much smoother operator than a 1912.

It counts in the same way that a hacksaw does ... single edge.

Just a small hacksaw then

Was it any good? The KAI, that is. I tried one a few years back (in fact, I tried a pack of 'em) and found them pretty good. Mine were olive green.

Those were the days before the Gillette Guard, which as you know I hold in high regard for simply "getting a shave" without all the fuss. I almost bid on a vintage pack of Wilko Retractor razors recently - that's what I used when I started shaving. Finding a dispo with a single blade today is a tall order (Gillette Guard excepted).

Thur 9th September.

This ER !914 has 12t as opposed to 11t, and has the benefit of really pronounced blade stops, whereas some others have very stubby short stops. A superb little Razor which with care delivers Top Notch Shaves.
