Joined Wchnu Fuzzy in using a Vintage DE blade that's Mentionable hereGot a Micromatic shave in with the Vintage Reversible Blade. Identical to his accept mine does not say "Service Pack" just meaning it was civilian. I got a close shave in with it but noticeably more a challenge than he had. My only thought is it is difference in beard type/coarseness. NOT a pissing contest, it just is what it is. I had no trouble doing wtg and xtg but could tell it would struggle ATG. It did struggle but in the end gave a veddy nice and close shave. Blades were sealed in cellophane and in amazing condition. Thanks for dipping toes in the water and pushing me in Fuzzy
Happy shaves to ya!
