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 = excellent shave with my MMBT + a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

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.

Just a guess, but it's stamped it was made for B. Altman & Co. (B. Altman & Company). It used to be a store selling high end products. Guess this was the third one made for them.
