  Great travel shave. I’m glad to have discovered this likely already-known trick of traveling with a Micromatic and turning the blade around for suitcase safety.

    That is a good trick. I honestly don’t think safety razors have been much improved since the Micromatic. @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and I often comment about the elegance of the MMOC’s TTO mechanism and the shaving benefits of a razor design that rewards good technique.

  Continuing my smush tour with TotW. It’s a nice mild fougere.

  Have a great Saturday, all!
