That is a hunk!! Does it perform similar to a GEM Microsmatic where you lay the top near flat against your face? CongratulationsRazor: Blackland Razors Batch 004 (a tribute to the lather catcher razors of the early 1900s)

Thank you!That is a hunk!! Does it perform similar to a GEM Microsmatic where you lay the top near flat against your face? Congratulations![]()
I credit my early use of the MMOC as a transition to using straight razors. Hope you have many enjoyable experiences with your new razor.Thank you!
Yes, very much the same riding style. You lead with the top nearly flat against the skin, as close as possible without actually laying it down. Once you find that angle it is incredibly smooth and intuitive. A beautiful tribute to that era of shaving.![]()
That is a great point, the MMOC is indeed a wonderful bridge between modern DE shaving and the straight razor world. That flat, deliberate angle teaches you a lot about technique and skin feel.I credit my early use of the MMOC as a transition to using straight razors. Hope you have many enjoyable experiences with your new razor.
