Have some great shaves!
I can see why they were able to make millions of the 1912 models because generations of shavers new what a nice razor it is. This razor should be in any ones razor rotation IMO because it's that good.I also went with a 1912 today. Great shave with 7 days growth I very nearly could have gotten away with a single pass with a bit of touch up. I used the schick on my cheeks to define my beard line.

The case was just a Red cardboard case and the razor was never used from what I concluded. It is one of the best razors if technique is dialed in.I like the brass one you have and the chain link handle. Although I do really like the little case mine came in.
