Nice to see you spreading the love for " The Streamline" about , wonder how it compares with the
Sabre. I am over my collecting phase, having got all the models am thinning out the herd. Just hope
someone beats my bid on one. An uncased one went for £120 the other day.

The Streamline deserves all the love it gets. I think it's the compact weight that throws you at first. I've used heavier razors but not in such a small stocky style.
What were you bidding on?
I found the 1924 to be a great shaver, Rob. Very smooth. It loads differently than the 1912 (it flips open from the rear to allow the blade to sit in, before closing it back and clicking it shut). It has a small handle: others have used new handles (e.g. Windrose) connected by means of grub screws. But the handle size doesn't bother me.Thank you very much Stephen for your kind offer. I'll be in touch about the 1924 soon. How does it compare to the 1912?
I've got a couple of razors on loan at the moment so I don't like keep them for too long. I think you can feel rushed (even though people say ‘no rush') when you have a couple of razors on loan or one on a pass-around. You don't end up giving them your full attention and it ends up being a pointless exercise.
The 1912 was a revelation and the shave and GEM blades were not at all how I thought they'd be. I thought the 1912 was up there with the Cobra, very smooth, very efficient and a lot cheaper.
I've good things about the CLog-Pruf for a while so I'm looking forward to using it.
Cheers
Rob

I found it, shave-wise, on a par with the 1912; and far better than the 1914, which I had to shim to stop the blade shifting, yet gave me a poor shave.
There really is no hurryI have a couple.
Best,
S.
A pleasure, as always Rob.Thanks for the info Stephen much appreciated. I'll be in touch soon. Thanks again for the offer.
