What is your favorite SE to shave with??

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Hey Tom, bottom row, second from the left...what is that? I thought it was the Contour 1 but, it isn't? That and the 1914 are the two I am currently after.

Bottom row, second from left is a Heavy Flat Top (G-Bar).

They are my least favorite of the Micromatic line, so two's plenty.

No question, 1912. It's the best of all possible worlds.

What is your favorite SE to shave with??

The one I'm shaving with. Mind you, I tend to shave a lot with a Clog Pruf. So, maybe it's that one.

Not all my SEs by any stretch, but here are a few pics that I'd already taken until I can get some more shot.

Silver razor, bottom right side of picture, what razor is that? That might be the nicest looking razor I have ever seen.....U got any other pictures of it, from different angles????

Here's my collection. All used aside from the OCMM which I haven't got the hang of yet. A good representation of the general range of SEs from the humble Featherweight to the weapon that is the Streamline. Note the liberal use of o-rings on the micromatics (nicked that idea from a member). Works really well and gives you a lot more grip. Looks kind of sexy too I think. From left to right: 1912 short handle traveller, GEM Junior Baton, Featherweight, Streamline, Flying Wing (Bullet tip), Clog Pruf, Open Comb and the Push Button. Wouldn't mind one day to get hold of a lather catcher but that's pretty much all I can handle if I want to use them all.

If you look at mcdaddy's second shot (post no 14) you'll see front views of several. They're lather catchers. Others here know a lot more about them than I do but they're wicked looking razors and were the go between design from straights to safety razors. Older than the DE design. The original safety razor. You can use standard SE blades in some of them but a lot had wedge shaped blades (basically like slices of straight razor) that required stropping and honing like you'd do with a straight. The handle extensions were used to hold the blade for this purpose. That's about all I know. If you keep an eye on this thread there will no doubt be more pictures of them. Some came in a seven day set. One blade for each day of the week. Beautiful sets. You can still get hold of these sets for the price of a clapped out Fat Boy. Well, maybe a clapped out replated Fat Boy! If you check out Drews50s pictures, he's got an amazing array of these razors and uses them too!
