The Best Kept Secret in Traditional Wet Shaving
By Mark on July 18th, 2017Posted In: Blog,Wet Shaving
The Gem Micromatic razor is a wonderful razor that gives smooth, close comfortable shaves!
These Single Edge Safety Razors were very popular back in the 1930s and 1940s. And they’re gaining in popularity once more.
Gem Safety Razors can be found on Ebay, in antique shops, and at secondhand stores. (Check flea markets and estate sales, as well).
The good news is, they are plentiful and very reasonably priced. I’ve found them for five and six dollars!
However, as their popularity grows, expect the prices to start to increase. I’m told that prices for these razors were even lower five years ago!
They take SE (Single Edge) razor blades.
I recommend using Gem SE blades by Personna: http://amzn.to/2sRVZ82
