    Tried my newly cleaned Micromatic Bullet Tip today. Put in a fresh GEM SE blade, usual pre-shave prep, lathered up and tried her out. Overall not bad for my first SE attempt - one Weeper and not as good a shave as my Fatboy or Superspeed though. Thinking I need to work on my technique - made the usual wtg then atg and found the need for multiple touch ups - especially on the neck. Thinking my head angle was too large at times resulting in the blade not cutting as close. No irritation but definitely not BBS yet. Will keep trying - really like this razor and want it to work as good as my DE's!

    listen to it
    it will tell you when the angle is right. you can hear the edge of the blade as it shears the hairs off.

    It was too mild to anything for me. Remember- flat against the face.
