I know I don't post much here (or anywhere for that matter), but Hi, I'm Dale.
After about 5 years in a box, last August I decided to revisit the OCMM for a month. Well a month turned into two, and then used it off and on until I decided to do a year with the Micromatic and put everything else away. Today is 2 months of Micromatic fun. I have two of them, a Clog Pruf and OCMM and don't notice much difference in shave between the two.
I am not 100% certain why I decided to dedicate an extended period to the micromatic. I think part of it is that I just can't be bothered with all the crap all any more. I don't want to have to choose between a dozen DE razors and then which blade to use. I grab the micromatic and the gem stainless blade and get a good shave.

Hello again Dale! Great to see you. A year with the MM eh? That is serious commitment. I have a hard time going a few days without changing razors.
Do you have any desire to add a bullit tip to your MM rotation?

There are some days when I ruminate the idea of commit to one maybe two razors and call it a day... But then the next step of choosing which one always prevents me of going forward with this "project". hehe As long as it's fun I'll keep my random rotation, but I think at some point I will take that step.

Do you have any desire to add a bullit tip to your MM rotation? Howdy Fuzzy. Hah, I dont see it as dedication, it is more laziness. No thinking, just a good shave. Regarding the bullet tip, I appreciate the offer, but have one put away with my DE stuff. It shaves nicely, but my shaves with it don't seem to last as long. If you know anyone that has a need, I have a couple extra user grade ocmm here that I would be happy to send along.

Quite honestly, after long enough it won't matter which you choose. You will get a good shave with anyone you pick up. Its been about 8 years for me. I haven't sold anything, but I'm not missing it either.

High their, Dale. Great story. It is a nice razor indeed. Have you tried carbon steel blades? They are pretty neat. Shave on, my friend, and enjoy.

I think I know you from another forum Dale! You sent me my first GEM Jr Bar; which got sent on to another gent. But I thank you for the opportunity to try the razor to find out that it wasn't for me.
You sound like me, not acquiring anything new and not moving anything out either.

In a previous life I had tried some of the black Treets. It was a nice shave for the first one, but then the blade would deteriorate. I am far too lazy to take it out of the razor, dry it, etc. The stainless gems are pretty comfortable and less maintenance.

You also have an XL Oval Primo if I remember.

I've been getting in a lot of Gems for my shop lately and I've just decided to keep a Colg Pruf and an MMOC and add them to my collection.
