I smell like a Christmas pudding
I have a 1914 Single Ring and I enjoy it very much. I regard it as a delicate and refined shaving tool that is nimble and manoeuvreable but that requires good technique or it will bite; it certainly is a close shaver. Here is mine:
I agree, the single ring and old type are the best shaving razors Gillette has made to date.
Completely agree with EclipseRedRing's comments.
The single ring is extremely efficient, and takes patience and technique to keep from being bitten, but what an excellent razor!
I have two single rings... one which was banged up until Chris at BackRoadsGold worked his sorcery on it, and another with a beautiful patina that's gonna stay just like it is.
Before BRG (1907)
After BRG
...and the original one with patina (1910)

Welcome to B&B, John.
Good razors, I've managed to latch onto a few over time.
Here's a 110 year old (1913) that shaves well -- they all are slighttly different!
