RE: Micromatic Monday - Twelvefret - 09-20-2021
I’m confused. Did some sell you a GEM with a fancy Gillette handle?

Are you sure that's not from an OLD? Is the brass threaded part removable?

That's AMAZING, I have the not quite as rare American Button Company Shell handle model.

You guys have never heard about this extremely rare razor?
Actually I make an adapter screw to fit razor and handle combinations like this together. The handle is from an unmentionable but the handle itself when put together with an SE head is perfectly kosher.

I've done that with ball end handles and Durham Duplex handles but they always seem too long so I take them off.

Micromatic Monday approaches, who’s in?
RE: Micromatic Monday - Dave in KY - 09-26-2021
Wrapping up a different SE each day for SEptember and had my Gems earlier. I'm back in next week though. I should have planned better........
RE: Micromatic Monday - Twelvefret - 09-26-2021
I might skip also since I’ve been in a SR mode of late. Who knows …??

I'm in Twelvefret! That is barring a disaster from my soon to be Lather Catcher Sunday shave.
And, planning on a first shave with an actual Micromatic...just a little tease there!
RE: Micromatic Monday - Twelvefret - 09-26-2021
I’ll be checking to see who’s naughty or nice…..???
RE: Micromatic Monday - Whiterook - 09-26-2021
I'll be here with an Ever-Ready Streamline.
RE: Micromatic Monday - Whiterook - 09-26-2021
Houston, we have a problem. There is a bit missing from my new Streamline and it holds the blade in. I'm going with a Contour II instead. Dang!
