Gem Micromatic- CP & Gem S/S ( 3 )
A nice enough Shave, but I am thinking that I still prefer the Original, which has the undeserved reputation of being overly aggressive.

For my first shave with the Vector I decided on my MMOC handle, as it is slim and about half the weight of the handle that comes with the razor.
Starting very steep I could feel and hear the Vector as soon as it started moving. Two days worth of stubble gone in one N-S pass, just like with my ATT SE1.
I relathered for a S-N second pass, just to be sure, and felt and heard every whisker pop as it was reduced to skin level.
I'm using the same Proline I used in my SE1 a few weeks ago, but it sure doesn't feel the same. This is a purebred razor, and not for the faint of heart.
The SE1 is a take no prisoners "Big Dog" razor for sure, but the Vector runs circles around it.
Precise and nimble it rewards a light touch with impressive handling and efficiency.
Yeah, I think I found my "Alpha" razor.
