I recently received this after winning it on eBay. Its a Gem Micromatic Open Comb that appears to never have been used. It looks very minty. The blades that came with it are reversible thin Gem blades that states "use in a Micromatic only" Instead for my first shave I used a Gem stainless. The pictures don't do the razor justice.

Very nice.
The reversible blades were suitable only for the Micromatic because the other models would bear against the spine on the back edge of the blade to hold it in place. The Micromatic uses the notches in the sides of the blade for that purpose.
Is this your first experience with a Micromatic?
