Prep: Shower
Razor: Ever Ready 1912 U.S.A. Model
Blade: Modern GEM
Brush: Omega 39
Soap: Füme
Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
My third shave with a SE Razor, another one lent to me by Andrew and another BBS.
A hugely different feel to this shave, the Ever Ready 1912 is the 'loudest' razor I have shaved with by a mile, I could hear every whisker being cut. It seemed to be just a tad more aggressive than the GEM Micromatic OC and definitely more so than the GEM push button, but again no tenderness or scraping. This is the closest shave I have had after the initial first pass stage.
There is certainly something about these SE razors that seem to make them very efficient shavers I suspect the rigidity of the blade.
The Füme shave soap is interesting, a pleasant very mild lavender scent, hardly detectable and a very slick slippery lather I had to use a lot of it. It is quite soft for a soap. I see it contains Sodium Propyl Paraben. Is this what we are being advised to avoid?
