    ATT G1 razor
    GEM stainless steel blade
    Burma Shave Boar brush
    Soap Mashup in the HIS shaving bowl
    Old Spice aftershave

    I decided to use the V1 plate on the right and the V2 plate on the left side of my face this morning. The V1 plate produced a nice comfortable shave with very little blade feel. The V2 plate has more blade feel, but not overly much, and ended up giving a slightly closer shave. All in all I find it is a great razor regardless of the plate.[​IMG]

    Friday Shave

    Razor: Fuzzy Catcher
    Blade: Gem CS
    Brush: JR154
    Soap: AOS Sandalwood cream
    Balm: APS Sandalwood

    At the urging of Fuzzy I designed a Lather Catcher to be 3D printed. So today I whipped this up. I printed it when I got home. It took 1-1/2 hours to print.

    Not knowing what to expect from the shave. I was pleasantly surprised by a nice middle of the road aggression on this. I did a 3 pass shave with a DFS result. I am sure I could get even better results if I used it several times in a row.

    There are just a few tweaks I want to make. But it is good to go.

    That is so pure evil you've out eviled yourself. Not to be a bad influence but if you plan to use a wedge blade in that might as well see if you can 3rd print a blade stropper next.

    MMMonday, March 8th, 2021, Always like using this razor, it is easy to roam over the face and is more a carefree shave , mildest of the 3 different models of Micromatics IMO.

    Razor: Gem Micromatic flying wing, MMBT, guiding eye......MFG 1947-50, excellent milder mid range, heaviest of the Micromatics.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(5), excellent blade, very sharp, good longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable.
    Soap: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood cream, nice scent and has excellent lather qualities. Good post shave feel.
    Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24mm, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice scrub with excellent lather painting.
    Pre shave: brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser, with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Ogallala with witch hazel. No Nivea balm today.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my MMBT + a coated Gem blade.

    Schick E3, Vintage Schick blade, shave 3

    Used a light hand today and as such the shave was much gentler and also not as close as when I shave like honey badger. Still a BBS finish achieved.

    I had a fun shave this morning with a new acquisition. I accidentally bid higher than intended but I'm not disappointed in my new to me Star "Test Outfit" razor.
