RE: Micromatic Monday - Wchnu - 08-09-2021
I did not get the video to upload yet. I will do that tomorrow. Ended up working early tonight. I did have a great MM shave with the bumpless model,GEM blade and VDH soap. Finished off with smells like Skin Bracer to make it a menthol Micro Matic Monday!!

I had a great shave this morning with the magnificent yet mild mannered Micromatic Bullet Tip.

Great minds think alike GAW9576....Micromatic Bullet Tip, (aka Flying Wing, aka Guiding Eye). I'm posting late, but the shave did indeed take place on Monday. I have to say that my favorite Micromatics go in this somewhat odd order: Micromatic (either with or without bumps, makes no difference to me), Micromatic Flying Wing, and last (and for some reason in my preferences, least) the Micromatic Clog Pruf. I don't get a bad shave with a Clog-Pruf, but for some indescribable, intangible reason, I just prefer the other two razors more.

Very nice and glad you participated. We go way back don’t we? I’ve never had that style of GEM, but I can admire yours. Best regards, @flintsone.

Do you have both the regular and peerless Clog-Pruf?

What is a Peerless Clog-Pruf?
Same razor different case?

It has more teeth on the comb. I believe the count is 11 on the regular and 17 on the peerless but I would have to count them again to verify. To me the peerless seems more efficient. I like both though.

I've been curious about the Peerless for a while, as I've heard some other folks mention that they prefer it to the "regular". I'm not optimistic that I'll be able to tell a difference, but I do harbor some hope that it may raise the Clog-Pruf's ranking a bit in the den. When it comes in, it will definitely be showing up on Micromatic Monday.

Cool and what a coincidence. (if you believe in coincidences)

I've seen images of the two side by side, I didn't know one was a "Peerless". I don't know what the peerless sets were all about, I thought it was just a marketing thing to sell more stuff. Special box, different handle, cool name, just to catch consumer interest.
