Micro
Matic
Monday,July 20th 2020, commemorate 2yrs of ASR shaving as a group of A.S.R keener's.
Always wondered what it would be like to have a Micromatic adjustable so I had to improvise my version today with
- Mid range + by different variants of the Micromatics to see & feel how it would go. A little bit of extra work but it was worth the effort to receive a
BBs shave. Gem Mfg was working on adjustable's in some proto types but nothing ever came of it.
I think the modern version of a Gem adjustable would be more like the Blackland Sabre with different base plates and open comb base plate version for the traditional concept. Just a different shave to shake up a MMMonday for my self.
