Sundays Shave Razor: ER 2912 With truncated cap Blade: GEM Blue Star Soap: Palmolive stick Brush: TOST 2018 AS: Florida Water First shave with my newly acquired Gem. It was the standard great 1912 shave. I think I was able to detect more blade feel. Just a touch mind you. Anyhow a great 3 pass shave no touch up on 4 days growth. This razor having this unique cap is a keeper. Nice shave to boot. Everybody please have a safe and enjoyable week. Tom

Today was a Tribute Shave to His Royal Fuzziness. The GEM Jr. from my G3 WW2 set (Tks Fuzz-man!), Williams Mug Soap, Witch Hazel finishing pass & Agua Velva... And a fine shave it was too....Fit for a King! Man....I forgot just how loud this 1912 is!! This really is a GREAT shaving combo!!

The B1 is a Auto Strop before it was Valet. That one has valet on it so not a B1. There is a valet ID type thread around somewhere. Thanks, I stand corrected. I believe it is VB1. From the post you mentioned... "Model VB1 (1921-1929?) This was the first model called a “Valet” razor. That’s all that distinguishes it from the Model B1: It said, “Valet/AutoStrop Razor”." I noted that none of the models pictured in that post say "Valet" on the razor, but the underside looked right. The handle must be from an older model because it does not match. A note on this razor. It is VERY head- heavy. Completely different feel from the VC1. It was a little difficult to maneuver, but I ended up with a decent, but not all that pleasant, shave. Left cheek, neck are ok, right cheek (where I started) is a little red and sore😖. What happened to my technique? 🤔🙄 It will bounce back. Sometimes takes a few shaves with a new to you razor.
