Razor: Vector w/Gem Micromatic Handle


Shout out to Eric MaineYooper for following thru and setting up the acquiring of a Gem Micromatic handle from a broken razor. I have wanted one of these for a little bit but never followed thru with the member on another forum that makes them. Now I have it and decided to hook it up with the Vector for it's first outing but they look better on the older vintage razors to me and will be using it there mostly. How's that for my typical run-on sentences.  Have a great day Folks !

I don't believe I have ever seen that handle combination with a Vector. I think the design lines fit.

Thanks, it looked okay but will be better with some of my vintage gear which I have an adapter screw for it to fit the older razors. I'll need to get it replated to.......

Bringing out the Vector for a quick round of DFS. An over abundance of Blackbird shaves had degraded my proficiency a modest amount. But by the third pass the universe aligned and all was well with Vector handling.

Cool brush handle! What did you name it? And a straight?! I do have spotty recall, but I don't recall seeing a SR before. That one looks perfectly poised, nice!

And good to see you here again, Paul! (I know, you were here yesterday, too!)

Hi Eric. I’ve recently been trying to get into straights. I’m not that great with them, but I try. The brush is an Aqua Glass Kanon that I added some black dye to. Typically I just leave them a solid transparent color. Its loaded with a 28mm Boti NC SHD knot.

SEptember -- Saturday Morning Luxury Edition

Saved my favorite scent for the Saturday morning shave. 14th use on the vintage Personna 74 blade. Feeling a little inefficient, but I hate to move on to a fresh one when I only have so many unobtainium 74s.
