After yesterday’s shave I grumbled a bit today before loading a new Gem blade into the ClogPruf. I needed to rule out a bad blade as the culprit for the MMOCs poor performance. The CP shaved pretty much the same as the open comb but did cut a little better. I just need to chalk up these razors as not for me. (Probably why I haven’t used one for ages - and probably won’t again.) Thankfully I don’t have a plastic bullet tipped micromatic which is up for tomorrow, so I will take a day off and choose a different razor for tomorrows event.
I got a tuck of those Gem Reversible Blades, but every one of them had rust on the edges. Bummer. That was a cool design feature for Gem.
Yes I had pretty much the same experience with them. I tried resharpening too but it wasn’t too successful. As for a plastic bullet tip, I never got around to picking one up, so I will pass on shaving entirely today and see if the Guiding Eye can improve my Micromatic experience tomorrow!
