These test outfit razors were to showcase ASR's be Star Cru-Steel and GEM Double Life blades - the razor frames were given away with packs of blades, so the home shaver could try them out without having to buy in a razor first. As such, they are simply "handles" (ping @TobyC) for the blade; the minimal amount of razor required to securely hold their marvellous new blades.
Fun! As a shave it is much more like the 1907 lather catcher than the 1914 "little lather catcher" which it is loosely based on.

Angle game was good, without much issues - nice and smooth.
The only issue is that I think for ATG I'm overstretching and it's causing some micro weepers. Not a huge amount but 4-5 or so, mainly on sides of the chin where I tend to stretch quite a bit and my growth is the thickest. Lather was good so that shouldn't have been an issue... Will play around and see in other shaves.
20 laps on Linen side of the strop, and 80 on the leather should see me to another good shave. Maybe tomorrow will reach for it too... who knows.
Thank you Russ! I must say I do enjoy this razor - bit of heavy and big side but I feel like the design of the tip makes up for hard to reach places !Beautiful Shave.
Well done Palmolive Fox for restoring the Ordinals!
