Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend....As it's been quite some time since I last used a single edge and forgot how much audio feedback you get from them. The rigidity of single edge blade makes them feel sharp & efficient.

The Micromatic SE (OC) is the most aggressive/assertive razor that I have in my humble collection. I have read in many shaving forums that the shaving characteristics you get from the GEM Micromatic (OC) replicates that of a traditional straight razor.

As with any razor shaving confidence, a light touch, & good technique are the key to a comfortable close shave especially the Gem Micromatic (OC)….A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...what has pleasantly surprised me is that I had an "error free" face shave with the Gem Micromatic OC with no "Japanese flags" making an appearance through the lather whilst shaving, I will continue with the GEM Micromatic OC for the rest of my shaving week to familiarise myself to it again after the long hiatus of not adding it to my razor rotation.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.😎

Razor - Lambda Athena
Blade - Kai DE Stainless
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Proraso Red

The Kai/Athena pairing worked well, the WTG pass was smooth and very efficient, the ATG pass had a noticeable increase in blade feel therefore i only needed 2 passes and no touch-ups.
A very nice shave.
Enjoy your day all.
