    If you wanna try it and promise to send it back after a week or so, I'll send it your way.
    It's a vintage Gem micromatic open comb single edge, very aggressive but crazy sweet. One of my favorite shavers. I'll send you a couple of blades too. You just have to dry it after use, the blades are carbon and will rust.

    Too difficult to narrow it down to just one. I love my '60 Fatboy, a '62 Slim, a '41 Ranger Tech, and a 47-48 Aristocrat. I usually shave equally with each.

    I try to rotate as well..but sometimes it feels as by doing it I'm not getting THE best shave I can get...but then again I'm enjoying experiencing my other razors...so...I guess it evens out :)

    My rotation right now seems to be:
    - Gillette Big Boy
    - Gillette NEW SC,
    - Gillette Slim
    - Gillette Black Tip X3 (all steel).

    The other 3-4 razors (incl. my EJ DE89L doesn't seem to get much love lately and may have to be sold off...) :(

    My 'go-to' rotation of razors….;)
    Mostly straights, at this point in time, as I'm in the process of developing the skill set.
    However, my thinned DE herd consists of only these two, in rotation: 2011 Mühle R41; Merkur Futur
