Is my face red!
Shave day colour coordination? Just trying to beat that hotshot @Chard52142 at his own game.
As expected, it’s pretty hard to have a bad shave from any of the 1912 model razors. I just got this ER version in a “two fer” deal, which is great because my first ASR purchase on eBay was the exact same British 1912, but it came with a snapped of blade stop. I learned to be more vigilant.
Ethos has me smelling minty fresh with a nice chill hanging in the background.
A nice shave, but it’s raining so I got a late start to the day. I guess I’ll just chill.

SNMIRN/Kai. 8 setting. Another enjoyable shave. Touch up on crown stubble with my single edge Barbasol NFH/Proline. I think what keeps this from being an A shaver rather than a strong B for me is not its mildness but its lack of rigidity. Unfortunately the cap won't hold on when using a shim . Only a problem in that one area so not an issue for most folks I'm guessing.
