Well, December is almost here. I will be using my 1905 Unmentionable this week. It has been a while since it has gotten some love, so I will be showing it love this week.
Here's the setup.
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh 414 Silvertip
1905 Unmentionable
Unmentionable blade
Granddad's Blend AS

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 414 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1905 Unmentionable Razor with an Unmentionable blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Nice.
I will be joining Williams Wednesday later today for the first time in a long time. It used to be my only soap for several years when I first started Wet Shaving about 15 years ago.

Gem/Ever-Ready Natural-Angle (Feather-weight)
Gem PTFE
Vintage Flat Top
Tabac
Pinaud Clubman
Festival of Feather-weights
I thought I would break out this unusual NOS Feather-weight for the festival I picked it up a while ago. The shipper is marked both Gem and Ever-Ready, the box is Gem, the razor is Ever-Ready and the blades are all Gems. It is British made and exported to Australia and claims to be " the finest shaving instrument in the world"! A bold claim but it is pretty good.

You are the King of today's Mardi Gras style parade at the Festival of Feather-weights! (crown emoji here) May you revel in all its glory!
On a serious note, what a very spectacular specimen you have there!

The injector is a 1973 and later model, with the blade guard switch. It can handle twin blades, and that is what is in there.
Japanese Schick Injector II blade, razor set to 5, dropping to 1 for ATG for the mustache area.

Wow. Absolutely beautiful. I've seen just a few of the ER versions. Could you please post a picture of it with the thumb tab clearly visible. I'd like to see if they are based on 1st or 2nd Gen FWs. Of course if you can ID it as one or the other that would work but we all LOVE good pictures of beautiful razors.
