A 1912 is any razor with the flip-top actuated with a tab on the rear of the cap that carries the 1912 patent marking on the base around where the handle screws in. These were marketed under the Gem name as well as Ever-Ready, Star, Treet, and probably more. Note that as of 1919 Gem, Ever-Ready and Star were all part of American Safety Razor Corp.
One of these 1912's may be exactly what you are looking for, as they are generally regarded as being more aggressive than the G Bar, Featherweight, Pushbutton, etc. but less aggressive than a Clog-Pruf. The Ever-Ready version made in the 1930's is possibly the most common variant, although Gem's from the 1920's are also quite easy to find at reasonable prices.
