My friendly mail delivery person dropped this off today. After disinfecting, I decided to take her for a spin. Lathered up some Stirling Mountain Man, and loaded a carbon blade I'd used once before. Made my first WTG pass, and my two-day growth was completely obliterated! I could have stopped there, and enjoyed a one-pass DFS, but that's not how I roll! Re-lathered, and went for an ATG, and just listened to this beauty sing! A few touch-ups, and a cold water rinse, and I was smoother than a baby's bottom! Just a wee bit of tingling from the alum showed I might have to watch my angle a little closer in the transition areas, on the jawline and such. It was a treat to use, and I'm looking forward to my next go-round.
So, I find myself only reaching for this razor since it's arrival. I used a carbon and a stainless blade in it, and it has performed flawlessly with both. An added bonus, the MMOC is the easiest SE I've used to get under my nose. I really wish I would have tried one sooner!
I remember the first time I shaved with a Micromatic Clog-Pruf SE... I was afraid of it initially, but once I began the shave it went well. Loved it! Smooth, smooth shave.
