Hello to all!
Recently purchased a 1912 Ever Ready English made razor, for a good price. The Popular in the UK or Junior I believe it was marketed as in the States.
Thing is, It is very intimidating from the the Bay pics of it. The head looks rather strange.
I am guessing that you place the flat head to the face and then use as a DE but keeping the head to the users face as much as possible, using no pressure with short strokes.
I have watched some YT vids, but I would much prefer B&B colleague advice from actual experience, which is the richest source anywhere.
I have bought a 10 pack of the GEM/Personna blades from Connault which should arrive soon. I should be getting both in around 3-4 days.
It kind of reminds me of the BIC Orange which I used for 3 decades, in that it has an angled head.
Does anyone have any advice on how to actually shave with it? How many passes, and in what direction? How do you do XTG, and is NS advisable? Any insights would be great.
Thanks in advance!
