I liked that tall 32XX. But with a 30mm knot and a big handle I'd have to start lifting more weights to use it.

Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic

You can get a very fine, close shave with the Micromatic. However it requires a very light touch and attention to technique to avoid weepers, and the corners of the blade can be exposed resulting in a nasty nick. Happened to me on the first day and the healing area still has to be avoided to prevent reopening it.

Now I’m off to the Barbershop!

Have an outstanding day!
