It is a joy to use these ancient razors and the Valet VC1 is no exception.
A very easy mod to the blade and you are off and running. For what looks like an aggressive shaving contraption it gives a surprisingly smooth, comfortable, close shave. For me it is a little more forgiving than a 1912 and easier to use as there is a wider shaving range - if that makes sense (not as angle critical).
A last minute change to the post shave routine swapping the Barts for Floïd and i am glad i did, smelling very Mediterranean.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the day All
