Micromatic Monday

[Jayaruh]

I'm considering which GEM to use for Micromatic Monday. Just to add a little spice to the thread, when did you first here of an GEM and how did you first come by which blades to use? 

If was probably Spring of 2018 and I bought three of the blade options from Try-A-Blade. THere was a "Blue" carbon that came that was no coated and pretty rough to use. 

My first GEM was the Micromatic with blade bumps. I was able to get user information from Google Books.

I remember in the 50s seeing the Gem Featherweight that my mother used to shave her legs. I guess I considered it a lady's razor because my dad used a Schick or an unmentionable.
When I got involved with wet shaving as a hobby, I found the Micromatics. Here are a couple of my first Gem acquisitions in 2012: the Push Button and an MMOC.
