Time to grab some fruit from the Micromatic Tree! Yeah SEptember! 
And thanks to those GEM folks and their wonderful Micromatic, shaving has a lot fewer requirements!
I used a 2nd gen MMOC, a new GEM Ptfe, a trusty Thater badger and some awesome Castle & Forbes Lavender followed by a Thayers WH 3rd pass.
I have to say having finished this shave. SE or no, for me, these MMOCs, whether 1st or 2nd generation, just aren’t worth setting up. These razors do not respond well to my beard - it leaves patchiness like crazy and I find myself scraping away trying to get through the shave. My prep was good, the soap was great, yet this shave sucked I gotta say. It has been a few years since using a Clog Pruf, so I will see tomorrow how that goes!
