The 1914 was darn near my first SE and for sure one of my favourites. I have a trusty beat up 1st gen I have used for many years, but today to celebrate SEptember I am going to use a Canadian manufactured Ever Ready Safety Razor co. Ltd. 1914 model manufactured in Toronto. There aren’t many of these kicking around so I look forward to the shave! I will use a new PTFE GEM and the same Rubberset as yesterday, but I swapped in a mug of old Williams in honor of the American roots of the ER design and the founder of TOST, our very own Fuzzy Wchnu. Happy shaves!
And it almost hit frost here last night, so HOT Water!!! And as per the instructions, I will shave with JOY!
That is a very nice setup you have there. I find it hard to open my ER 1914. They have very strong springs. I love that box of Radio Blades you have. Those first SE blades did not have any cutouts in them. The ER has those little blade holders to prevent the blade from falling out during loading and unloading. Modern SE's with cutouts tend to fall out. I just put some Scotch tape over the cut outs and the problem is solved. SEptember is going to be fun. I am going to use my ER 1924 tomorrow.
