Very nice! Classy Grassy strikes again!
The Radio 1912 is a new one for me and I had to visit Mr. Google to learn a bit more. Not a lot out there on that razor. I sure like the look of that handle. The handle design is reminiscent of the unmentionable British "thing that shoots into outer space", except the knurling stops short of the bottom. Same two rings and rounded/domed bottom.
Yeah, not much info on the Radio. Made for a short time I believe it pre-dates the British Ever-Readys. This one came in a box marked Gem on the outside and Ever-Ready on the inside (I know there was at least one other the same) They made Radio blades so I guess they thought they would use
the same for the razor for UK manufacturing before settling on Ever-Ready, and Gem for export, and Star for French export.
If anyone has any better info I would be interested.
