    It's GEM Micromatic Monday on another forum. I love these old designs.

    Anyway, this is an old John Holler/The Tower brand I call my beater because I've used it to learn to use stones. I've used no tape and tape. Looks like a near wedge, but I'm not that proficient to be definitive. I did a coticule/Thuringian progression yesterday and more skin stretching. Had a darn good shave on two passes before finishing on the MMOC.

    Today's JWest is a Takehana Feon 172, it 6/8 with a full hollow grind. The is wonderful razor, easy to hone, maintain, takes a sharp edge and holds it.

    J.R. Torrey 5/8 "Our 136" coupled with a 1934 Gillette model #88 as a third pass. I prepared the blade with the Thuringian under running water.
