I find a modern handle on my 1924 (an iKon) renders it a heavy and beautifully efficient beast.Sat 2nd Feb.

Another Super Saturday Shave, after using a "Streamline" last week the ER 1924 was a good follow up act. I find that when fitted with a longer modern S/S handle the 1924 shaves smoothly and comfortably , and without any issues delivers a Top Notch all round finish. This is a great alternative to the "Streamline" my favourite ER Razor, readily available and cheaper too. Must really try to see if I can get a 1914 fitted with a longer Handle.

Sublime today. I used my Merkur 34C yesterday and the result was ok. Today, the result was in a different league; I'm always amazed at the consistently excellent shaves I get from a razor (that's) round about one hundred years old.
