    April 28th
    Razor: Gem MMOC/OCMM
    Blade: Gem ptfe (1)
    Brush: PAA Switchback/TGN Finest
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: A&E Tertius
    Lucky Tiger face tonic
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: A&E Tertius

    Good morning!

    Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes, skipped the touch up. Near BBS with a tickle from the alum.

    First shave with the MMOC/OCMM went great. I found riding the cap to be very intuitive. I did struggle with the north to south pass under my nose. This razor has a big head or I have too big a nose. Clean up under my nose was easy on the subsequent passes. The razor is more substantial than I thought it would be from pictures. I'm happy for that.

    So, is it MMOC or OCMM? I've seen it both ways. I'm guessing it's up to the person typing.

    Have a great Sunday! [​IMG]

    Under my nose is left to right on pass two and right to left on pass three. That usually gets all the stragglers.

    I like OCMM 'cuse the way I say it in my head is like Occam and I think its funny.
    Great shave sir! I enjoy how engineered the tto mec is.
    I also found this razor super intuitive, with practice i can see this razor being like an extension of my hand.

    Thanks Patrick!

    Very nice, Gary!
    My plan for May is OC razors too. The MMOC was going to get its first use on the 1st but like I said before, I have no patience.
