Gillette sure thought it was a TTO and sued them to take it off the shelves so as not to compete with the new Aristocrat, using an old patent Gillettet acquired after the Segal's release. Rather cynical move as the acquired patent had nothing to do with either razor.

Both the Micromatic and the Segal Uni-matic were on shelves at start of 1931.

Blade preference is too personal toi make recommendation meaningful. I believe the differences between blades are a lot smaller than a lot of folks make out.

No reason to choose one over the other. Use both.

Chinese Wilkinsons work great for me at great price. Nothing more to say.

Kais get tricky because of their additional width the marginal increase in exposure may be perceived as sharpness whereas objectively it's not actually that sharp out of the box.

I pay zero attention to subjective tests of blades. Note that RE rates Astra SS as one of the least sharp where the scientific tests done by refinedshave dot com find it's one of the sharpest. I go with objective tests. Especially when you know the guy offering subjecive ratings wears a...

In case anybody gets bored with their Karve or misses the Blackbird you traded....SimplexKarve... great combination.
