Well, this arrived and I used it once, but my wife said the fragrance is too sweet. I think I would agree, it is pretty cloying.Aramis Tobacco Reserve EdP

After been bitterly disappointed that my recently required vintage auto strop vc1 razor, which was a early birthday present to myself is now no longer usable due to one of the blade stops braking off and is now beyond repair....To compensate for this loss i've placed another order for a GEM ~Micromatic Open Comb Vintage Single Edge Safety Razor for the USA.
It's plating is missing in places, which is only superficial & cosmetic , the razor it'self is in good working order..I look forward to giving it a try out when it arrives.
Thank's @Scotshave ..When i bought the auto strop vc1 , i was in two mind's to either go for the Micromatic.I've always been intrigued by them after been recommended to add one to my shopping list by @Digimonkey who rates these vintage ladies very highly. The auto strop vc1 was my choice purely because the seller was UK based, and i was swooned by it's vintage aesthetics..Glad to read GEM Micromatic's the built are like a tank..And your right ,the plating is cosmetic,plus it give's a wonderful appearance of being well used..Thank's for the insight.You'll enjoy it @Palmolive fox . It's a great shaver...very efficient. As you say, plating is cosmetic (I think it gives a nice patina and sense of being used). They're built like tanks!!
