Gem Micromatic

Tried out a Twin Injector Blade in The Micromatic, as previously used it with a single and had good Shaves.Rather awkward getting against blades stops, but quite secure. Managed a Shave without mishap, and the finish on the face was good, but not so good around the neck. Verdict will stick with Gem blades.
