A Third Hello

[Alan]

Well I’ll be!  Very good to see you back Mr. Guy, it’s been a while. For those of you who weren’t around back when vintage shaving was just taking off this fellow had some of the first instructional videos on you tube in regards to shaving with vintage razors. The wet shaving community was very small then, with the SE portion of it being even smaller. There were no modern day versions of SEs. You had to use vintage razors found in the wild, for sale on the few shave forums out there, or for sale on e-bay. There was plenty to be had though. The skies rained $5 Micromatics and Shovelheads. 1912s were a dime a dozen. G Bars were so numerous you couldn’t walk down the street without tripping over them. Damaskenes were there for the asking. Everywhere you looked you saw “Lift Here”. Ah the good old days. But I digress. Anyway, even though the wet shaving community was small there was a very distinct difference of opinion about the GEM Micromatic Open Comb. People either loved it or hated it. It got so intense that most forum moderators would remove any thread that addressed Micromatics for fear that an opinionated post might incite an on-line riot. Mr. Guy was the most visible proponent for the Micromatic.  He did it with a diplomacy that changed a lot of people’s way of thinking (except the Possum, God bless him). His videos were very instructive and informative. Heck, in one of them he balances a Micromatic on the tip of one finger and runs it down his face. He truly is “THE” authority on the Micromatic. 
Well good to see you again Mr. Guy!
