1914 Ever-ready......improved

[The Monkey]

Today I broke out my favorite Shaver. A 1914 Ever-Ready with a Schick Twin blade installed. Yes that is right, I installed a Twin blade!



In order to do this you need a 1914 with the longer blade stops. The blade is held into place by the cap clamping down on the blade.

Has anyone else tried this?

The blade doesn’t slide backward when you shave? You need to do some videos about this.

No it sits really secure.

That exposure appears to be quite little and quite negative. How did it shave?

Believe me, the famous trait of a 1914 is that the top cap clamps down like a bear trap. Nothing moves once it is properly aligned and clamped down, including my thumb and finger nails!

As good as the twin blade is for certain Gem razors, nothing beats a carbon steel Gem blade in them.

BTW John, is that my rehab 1914 that I PIF to you with the lose handle?

Here is a better angle.


The shave is very smooth and the twin blade is efficient.
