SOTD x 3


So I ordered some shit from Amazon, but was $5 below the threshold for 'free shipping'. I thought long and hard and settled on the 'big' tube of PRORASO. That's some 'cool' shit right there. A little more money than I'd like to spend, but very high performance - very happy to have it in the rotation.

For the last 3 shaves, I have used the 1912 with one of the 'presnapped' Derby Profesyonel half DE blades. It's pretty crazy but I find I can get 4 great shaves from a whole Derby in a DE razor - and 4 per half Derby in the 1912. Do the math on that! It's a testament to the engineering of the 1912 and the ingenuity of "Tony" who created the blade holder. Haters take note that just about any half DE blade is going to perform better in the 1912 than any of the commercially available SE blades, for the simple reason that a DE blade is actually SHARP. Just try it!
