Today, 106 years ago, August William Scheuber was granted ⤷the patent for what we now call the "1912". I raise my cup of coffee to his genius and will shave with a 1912 today.

Coincidently, I have been shaving with mine for a couple of days.
I'll bet they shave as well today as they did 106 years ago.

28 Februaryin honor of August William Scheuber Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: Brush XIV, 25mm Synthetic Fan Type Soap: The Lounge, Stirling Soap Co. Razor: GEM 1912 Damaskeene Blade: PAL (?) w/ ER Stropping Machine and Amish made strop Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse, OSMA Alum block and English Leather AS Photo: Got busy last night and did not have time to shave. So I did my 1912 shave this morning. I had a PAL blade that I had used while the bathroom was being remodeled. It had ran it's course and was ready to be disposed of but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I figured I could strop the hell out of it and maybe get a few more shaves out of it. I stropped it fifty times using the Ever Ready Stropping Machine. It helped very little. I got a decent enough shave but was not smooth at all. I did three passes and braced myself for the coming sting of the alum block. Though to my surprise it didn't really happen. There was some light sting in the normal places but that was about it. The blade will now go into the used blade bank. All in all the shave was a success that left me with a good shave and the knowledge that you can not bring a blade back to life once it has been pronounced "DONE".

My celebration today, stunning shave! Cheers to ELECTRIF!!! Man I totally missed out on the Little Lather Catcher's Birthday!!! Every year I make a bid deal out of this one and call for parties from like a week before... I guess, I've been so wrapped up in all the action around here these days....and I've been side tracked by the ER Full-Blown Lather Catcher....that I let this one slide.... Lets have a belated party or something....I know....I'll start a birthday thread, and everybody post pics of their ER 1914s!
