Please share your thoughts about the 1924 Shovel head, positive or negative. Is it a:
1. Daily driver
2. Part of a rotation
3. Used every now and then
4. I don’t own one
5. I sold mine, did not like
The Shovel head is my favorite razor. It is the only razor type I own. It is my daily driver. I use a baton handle from a GEM Jr. when I shave face and head, along with its regular handle.
I am a daily shaver. I shave my face and head daily. I use EZ Blade Shaving Gel. I use it because it has a shaving oil base and it allows me to see what I am shaving.
I use either a GEM CS or SS PTFE blade. I toss blade after 3-4 face and head shaves, regardless.
I thought the Shovel head was not well loved. Most recent reviews I have read supported this.
I did an experiment. I looked the “Single Edge Razor “ thread section on B & B. It has 160 pages. I started reading page 160 and went backwards. It took a while.
What I learned was surprising.
1. It is a well respected razor
2. For many it is a favorite
3. It received many excellent reviews
4. It is used by many
5. It gives excellent face and head shaves.
6. There are lots of knowledge and history out there about the Shovel head
