Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend...I'm making this a vintage SE razor week starting my weekend shave with the gem micromatic, which is the most efficient of all my SE razors...The gem OC micromatic, i find it incredible after only a small amount of shaves i've had with this very assertive vintage lady how comfortable i feel shaving with her..I've said it before treat any razor with respect, learn your technique, gain your shaving confidence and you'll be rewarded with some sublime shaves....This is essential with the gem micromatic oc...I recommend any traditional wet shaver if giving the chance, to experience shaving with a vintage SE razor once if possible...However, in my personal opinion i would recommend starting off with a Ever Ready 1912 (US) or (UK)which are far less aggressive to gain your technique & shaving confidence before moving on to the Very efficient gem micromatic open comb.YMMV.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Benjamin's ~ Mentholated ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Anyway anyway anyway. A most wonderful 3 pass shave this morning and thank you to the fine shaving water they have over here in East Yorkshire for helping things along.

I can't fault anything and each piece of Shaving equipment here is a class act in its own right. A super shave and feeling so smooth I am going to strut my stuff in Tesco's this morning. Vegetable aisle.

No beavers were harmed in bringing this SOTD to you.

It is Christmas time and so some festive music must be on the books



Have a great weekend all you folk
