How about you?  Are you a Micromatic user -- what are your thoughts on this beauty?

I just ordered my first one!

Awesome shave.  To me, it's much more efficient than the 1912 or 1914.  I could see if you're not careful with the Micromatic you could end up looking like you were in a catfight!

Nice! You definitely have to give them a light touch, but once you get the hang of it things become second nature pretty quickly.

So, tonight I used one of My MM, and it was as to be expected. A simple easy to produce shave. I said it in the video, and I'll say it here, once you learn how to run the MM, anything else is child's play.

They should be required shaving for anyone that wants to do a shave video, or shave channel. Show me your MM skill, then go add all the extra frills.
