Micromatic 7/7

  • Brush: Boti Motherlode knot in laminated wooden handle, 30mm
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless (gen 2)
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Turtleship Te Java
  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Black Watch
  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors Saint Julep

This Micromatic tour was a great reminder of how great this line of razors really is. For some reason, safety razor technology seems to have peaked there, and I'm glad that the GEM blade format is still being manufactured.

Today's was a sweet-leaning warm gourmand fragrance combo that I could happily repeat anytime

I have an almost full tester of it that I won't use. I'd be happy to send it to you.

@djundjila

That's very nice of you and would have liked to take advantage of your offer. I am in regular exchange with a friend who has several bottles of IA. I will get samples from him after Christmas. Nevertheless, thank you very much!
