Absolutely, sir!!
I had the vision of exposing the GEM brand on Micromatic Monday. @Flintstone65 has fabulously taken it to the next level with the "lather catchers".

That is a great thread also. It has inspired my shaves of late.

@Twelvefret that is a beautiful W&B. I love the phrase on the blade.

It’s cool. I had wanted one forever. Most have light bone color scales. I doubt the black ones are original. No hollow at all. Wedge all the way. Very comfortable edge. Heavy!!
It's amazing the etching is in such good shape on a full wedge.

My ninth shave with the Gem stainless blade today. I used the MMCP to take out seven days growth. The MMCP is no joke it handled very long stubble with ease. Cella gave good cushion and glide, for a nearly irritation free CCS shave. Wtg Atg and some cleanup. And had my wife clean up the back of my neck with the Gillete super adjustable. Below is a picture after completing the first pass on the right side of my neck.

I'm going to like this thread, at least until I get a good shave with just a straight. Here's Friday's shave, my very first. Erik Anton Berg / POMCO German slant.
I was going to shave tonight but I don't think I'm going to get a chance, I don't want to rush it. Here's what I have laid out for probably tomorrow night. J.A.Henckels #124 / 1933 Barbasol Floating Head.

You didn’t trust her with the MMCP?
Thank you for participating in DD, Brotherman.
Neither of us trust her with it. And if I did I wouldn't have been participating in the daily double.
Thank you joining us, my friend . Your set up looks fantastic.
Thanks guys!

Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
My first Daily Double -- and I really enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy the post-shave clean up all that much, but it was worth it to be able to drive 2 razors that I absolutely love!!! First pass was the Lather Catcher, the second pass was the MMOC, touch-up pass was the Lather Catcher. Ended up with was DFS that was bordering on a BBS.
Here's today's setup
First Razor: 1902 Kampfe Bros Star Lather Catcher (model HR 14A) with a GEM PTFE on its 5th shave
Second Razor: Gold (bump-less) Micromatic Open Comb with a Treet Carbon blade on its 4th shave
Soap: Stirling's Margaritas in the Artic | Brush: Yaqi 26mm Rainbow Brown Synthetic | A/S: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
