Ever-Ready 1912 (1919) Brass & GEM by Personna (1)
Pashana Original Aftershave
Probably my favourite kit, and it's not even my birthday! Give me a 1912 to scrape off a lathering with Mitchell's and give me a splash of the Pash for afters and I'm a very happy fellow.
Whenever I settle on shaving with a 1912, for some reason I always gravitate towards the British ones from the 1940s or the early Damaskeene and the other side of my collection never gets a look in. Redressing that, I decided upon a week of 1912s that I rarely pick: the 1919 design which was produced through the 1920s, tonight the brass and tomorrow the nickel plate; then, I'll move onto the 1930 design which clipped the corners of the comb, again brass and then nickel. For the end of the week, I have something special ... but you'll have to wait until then for the reveal. The weekend will be sewn up with a couple of Star brand, one from the 1920s and one from the 1930s.
Great to be back on the 1912s ...
