I am beginning to like the most modern of the Micromatics, having discovered it hidden away with some 1912s -it was the box that done it. It is probably classified as being mild, but I found it to be very smooth and forgiving and so I am able to work away to get an ultra close finish without causing any problems.

 

As I suspected, when I switched out the Yaqi 4” handle for my 3.25” Bulldog, which I'm quite used to, I ended up with a 2 pass BBS of both face and head. Love that scalloped head coupled with the open comb. In addition, I finally found a scentless AS that my new wife of 4 yrs can tolerate. My first wife loved all my AS's, but the new one is fragrance-sensitive and gets migraines. I feel smooth, clean and refreshed!

Yaqi Aluminium Tux - Rose of Bulgaria cream - General Al - Schick Proline P â„–5 - Alum - Rose of Bulgaria A/S - Aloe Vera Gel

Had a tooth extraction this morning, so had to wait for anaesthetic to wear off before this shave. Sharp blades and numb face definitely don't mix. I was rewarded with a very smooth, close result.
