My bad, I meant your first visit on that MM thread and your first Micromatic Experience.

Ahh. I thought you remembered some unpleasant interactions between us that I didn't remember.

Never anything unpleasent with you, Greg.
I opted for a GEM PB gold and black and a SE, but unmentionable, for a Daily Double.

I had a great shave with the Gem Featherweight deluxe today. Oddly when I first started shaving with SEs I couldn't stand the look of the Featherweight. Now I love the way it looks. Interesting how tasts can change over time.

The Daily Double was another good thread. I don't do daily doubles as often as I used to though. Perhaps I should remedy that.

I love everything about a g bar. ❤️❤️

Following my learned friend Whiterook, I used the late 1940’s-‘50’s GEM G Bar aka Heavy Flat Bottom with PTFE many used blade
The Atomic Rocket brush and Chiseled Face soap (thank you again, Dave) made the shave simple and effective. A small splash of CF Sherlock sealed the deal.
Happy MIcromatic Monday, all!!????
