Thanks to Lord Fatboy's generosity I am now the proud owner of a really nice ER 1912 razor. He was also good enough to include some blades for it. I'd also like to thank @Grarea for also offering to loan me one. It is much appreciated and also very kind.
Me being me I could not wait so I rushed upstairs after work into the shower while the brush soaked. Loading is a doddle which puts the new Rocnel offering to shame according to recent reports. I always had the impression it would be unwieldy and cumbersome and I owe the razor an apology it isn't as large as I imagined. I soaped up and got to it. First pass was good, nice and close. I made sure I kept the cap against the skin. It glided nicely.
Second pass was just as good but I think I was little more heavy handed on the second pass. I am really smooth but have just a touch of razor burn on my neck. Nothing major and similar to when I used the Personna Injector blades in a Schick. I think these blades are Personna too. I'll check but if so it may seem I don't get on with Personna. I know the Chicks were a lot smoother in the Schick. All in all it was a great shave. I'll try it again and make sure I use the absolute minimal pressure next time. If I still get a little burn like this time I'll try some different blades.
