    This foray was about as bad as my first attempt with the Micromatic. I tried holding the head flat against my face. I opened the angle to varying degrees... Way too much stubble left behind. I only made 5-7 swipes with it before I put it aside for the Damaskeene which performed like a boss. First time with no nicks or weepers of any kind! I can also use the Featherweight (?) with no problems. Now, this is a problem since I just rescued 3 of these Juniors this month, and have a G-bar on the way, too. Glad I have a handle on this RAD.:(. Anyway, I either have to figure these razors out, or use them as fishing sinkers. Pi**es me off since it isn't rocket science...

    Took me a while to get the hang of the SE.
    Stick with it. You'll get there.
