Ern Second Choice
While digging through my razors I found a Ern Second Choice. I don't remember getting it so it must have been sitting here for awhile. Pretty rusty, but the name just didn't sound right for a razor. Something called second choice seems like something that would have flaws or wouldn't pass for first choice. Most companies claimed that their razors were best, but why claim second best. Couldn't find any info on the razor other than someone else has/had one. Anyone have any info on this razor.

That is strange that the top of the makers mark is missing!

Maybe it was like an apprentices piece that was for practice or something
Does seem odd to have a second choice stamped on it unless there was a first choice with it lolengine46 likes this.Saved,
to shave another day.

They surely wouldn't have one called that but instead First Choice. Strange! Originally Posted by Substance

The top of the crown is cut off and the top of the ER. Maybe that is why it is a second choice. Would kind of make sense instead of scraping the whole thing that they could still sell it at a cheaper cost. Manufacturers do that now. Originally Posted by engine46

yep, it is stamped that way because it was a second - I bet it will shave as well as any other Ern

This is common in the cigar world - small imperfections (such as a mis-aligned mark) that make it less attractive, but still fundamentally the same product. Originally Posted by cubancigar2000

It does indeed shave just as well as any other. Great shaver - especially for less than $15!
