Do all 1912s shave the same?

[bjorney]

I'm an enthusiastic newbie to SE shaving and this forum. I've quickly acquired a nice bunch of razors, my 1912 Star being the favorite so far.

I bought my first SEs in the following sequence... OCMM, 1924 ER, 1912 Star.

I liked the shave from the somewhat worn Star so much that I wanted to find a really nice 1912. I lucked out and got a beautiful nickel-plated
GEM with the fancy scrollwork handle in extremly good condition ( I believe it was never used).

So here's my question... I feel like the GEM 1912 is milder than than the Star so I don't get quite as good a shave with it. Has anyone else noticed a difference in shave quality between 1912s, or is it just my imagination or evolving expectations?

Each razor can be different. I have several 1912's. Even the ones that are the same model shave different. I have not found that one maker is more aggressive then another, but have had razors by the same maker that were.
