Just got this amazing GEM Micromatic, a Clop Pruf from fellow B&Ber cpool222. ASR really knew how to make razors. Beautiful machine, built like the proverbial brick s**t house and the plating on it actually makes it look like a deep gold rather than the insipid spray on tan that Gillette seemed to have used on most of their razors.
In any case I somehow made a mistake loading the blade and it ended up sitting on top rather than behind the little stoppers. I did a bewildering first pass with it in this state, thinking that people were dead wrong classifying this as a mild razor. I thought in comparison my Streamline fully loaded would be suitable for use as a childs toy!
After I rectified the problem it did turn out to be a mild shaver although by this stage the whole thing had turned somewhat painful. Man I hate a bad shave!
Makes you wonder how they developed the shaving characteristics of their razors though. Did they try them and then have a meeting where half the attendents bleeding, covered in plasters deliver the verdict?
