A razor is a razor? Or are some better than others? Pick a side bubba!
Shovels are as good as any other razor, maybe better than some.
When it comes to shaving a razor is a razor. I have always said ok to have favorites. I do. I am not a fan of the 1912. But I always say it does a good job.

Hahaha never heard it in those terms before .While I do have a Yaqi brush enroute on the literal slow boat from China...I'm unsure when I will have the enjoyment of these new equipment postings!
This arrived late last week and is only my second vintage SE razor. It's purchase was inspired by seeing video of Wchnu shaving with a baton-handled razor. Thanks to the Google search gods, I stumbled across it for sale online at a used book store in Utah. They only had one picture showing it in the box with the back of the razor facing up. I took a leap of faith, not knowing exactly the condition of the razor but feeling pretty good about it as the box showed to be in good condition.
The razor head has been cleaned in Dawn dish soap and Scrubbing Bubbles, followed by a short bath in Barbicide. I only lightly scrubbed the handle with soapy water. Although I plan to buy some Flitz polish in the future for some of my other vintage razors, no polish has been used. It's in great shape and I plan to begin my SE journey by shaving with it on my cheeks/neck to begin with. Once I get to the point I can complete an entire shave, I will post a SOTD.
BTW...I sorted out my struggles with the correct size for edge to edge pics. When resizing, a pixel count of 1000 worked for me.
