Micromatic Monday

[Twelvefret]

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 did a bit of searching in that other place. Here is what I found on the original Micromatic Monday. I believe this was my first ever SE shave other than disposable SEs which don't count in my book.

I am convinced that MM thread sold a lot of GEM razors and PTFE blades. I almost recall your first visit because it wasn’t as pleasurable as it is now.
