Having been lured into the Idea of SE shaving, I purchased a modern plastic handled
Natural Angle Razor. Have had partial shaves with it,initially a bit overzealous, and ended up with sore face. Tried again last week with better results.
Also acquired a !912,and more recently a Shovel Head. To cap it all ,got a Million Dollar
Valet auto stropper. Decided today to try the 1912, backed up by a Progress.
Well what a surprise,did upper lip with Progress, then used 1912 for rest of face.Yes,even the neck against the grain. Very nice comfortable shave.
Verdict, better than more modern version. Now want to persevere a bit, then try the Shovel Head. Maybe try to get hold of a G- Bar.
Any views on how the Valet, might perform compared with the 1912 ?
