: While driving to Bethesda to visit family, we
: stopped in an antique store somehere in PA.
: I found a '49 or '50 Super Speed (notched
: bar, no date code) and the Micromatic below.
: With the tag in place, and no marks on the
: razor, I'm thinking this one never was used.
: I've heard these are fairly aggressive
: razors - anyone have experience with these?

: Great finds. I have two of those particular SS's and they are wonderful. I have a gold Micromatic but have yet to use it. I know that the head goes flat against the face like a G-Bar.As you know illustrated directions for use are at BB. I used my G-Bar a bit and it is aggressive but like DE blades I found using the right SE blade made a difference, for me Gem Bluestars. Same as when using a straight razor I think a undercoat of shaving oil, Nivea, Proraso etc.will help reduce the SE razors aggression and avoid burn or cuts. Enjoy your finds
