    For me, 3 was a bit on the mild side, but it was still very effective. He should enjoy it very much

    It looks to be in real good shape. If you have never tried a CPMM you're in for a treat.

    I still haven't tried the Gem Micromatic OC yet because this razor has landed in OZ today, waiting for clearance by Australian Customs before handing this over to Australian Post and then to my front door. Trouble is the Gem Micromatic OC won't arrived until Monday lunchtime, while I'm still currently using the Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip until the current blade is finished which is now shave #7 before I used the OC next while I'm waiting on the Clog-Pruf ;)

    @SpeedyPC, that is a nice one. I just got one which I'll probably try for the first time this weekend. Mine, unfortunately is missing a lot of plating from the cap.

    Don't worry about the plate loss it doesn't affect the shave. It just means that someone really enjoyed using it.

    With all this MicroMatic talk I may have to dig mine out of the box it's packed in for a weekend shave.

    That's my usual mantra about plate loss. This one was a bit surprising, though; some of the plating was already missing and flaked off like glitter as I was cleaning it. The metal underneath is also dark and doesn't seem to take a shine. I'm guessing it is Zamac rather than brass.

    You can always re-plate the razor like brand new again and it will last you for another 50 years of shaving ;)

    I believe I'm stuffing from a WKDMAD (Wholly Kaw Donkey Milk Acquisition Disorder) because I'm up to 11 in total :lam::scared003:

    Scent Profile:
    Scent to inspire hope under adverse circumstances. “Remember,” they say, “that the darkest hour of all is the hour before day.”

    Cuero Oscuro or Dark Leather – A dark and very masculine scent for Fall and Winter. This scent is not floral, fruity or powdery. Leathery and smoky. A radical departure from our other scents. In developing this scent, we saw a fork in the road and we took it. Off the beaten path. Off to an adventure that took us to unexplored olfactory journey.

    A masterful blend of leather, vetiver, cedarwood, tobacco, patchouli, oakmoss and coffee to top it off. Think of rawhide leather scent or boots.

    Thanks, I think for about $10.00, shipping included for both, not a bad deal.

    I originally went for that one, no bids were on it. But the seller also had the Gem up, only one bidder before me.
