1st Shave with SE MMOC Gem Blade./From what I've read on here about shaving your face off I was very cautious.
But overall I was happy with the shave, was not that much of a jump from DE as I thought. Am looking forward to shaving on a daily basis with this razor, due to the fact that I usually shave about once or twice a week.

SOTD: Blue Xmas
Soap: B&M New Base - Vespers
Razor: ATT SE1 with Schick Proline Blade
Brush: Savile Row LE
Fragrance: PDM Layton
First try with the new B&M Formula. I will obviously need 10 or more shaves to get a final assessment but my initial thoughts are that this formula is indeed much closer in performance to the original White Label (including the magical post shave of that formulation), while also being EXTREMELY thirsty, even for Today's soaps standards. I'm very pleased with this and I hope this replaces the Glissant formula, as it seems as an upgrade in most shave aspects (while I Love glissant).

1. PAL Injectomatic with Dutch Schick blade, 2nd use. This was a complete failure, just like the first time. Multiple passes over the same areas of stubble, which it failed to remove, causing a lot of irritation.
2. ATT SE1 with Kai Captain blade finished the job easily, even though the blade was on its fifth use.
I'm not getting the PAL to work and if I can't find an injector that will load Proline B-20s directly I'm abandoning injectors.

Well there you go - another happy 1912 user! Just need to choose a soap from my pile of 35 artisans. Blade is a PTFE as usual. Just bought 200!
Injector E2 w/Personna(14)
Right now the Ever-Ready 1912 is my favourite shaver. Can't get over how good it is, even though the SE1 and 6C are perfectly fine.
Yes I agree the ER 1912 is just the most amazing razor.
It is perfection that is so easily in reach!
You're right - it's just perfect. I was going to change handles and I may still do some experimenting with a second one I just picked up. But then I ask myself why? The balance is great as it is.
