Hello Gents. Yes I will bend your ear/ or eye... for a minute or 2. Last night I pulled the "Flying Wing" Micro Mantic out of the hanger for the 1st time since I received it over a week ago. To me the lines on this razor are an awesome art deco to the max. It just screams of style. Sleek with long lines. Mine is gold and while not mint is in great shape.
I loaded her with a new Gem Blue Star blade and after my usual prep routine I Ultra-lathered up some trusty VdH and took off... Being diligent in my angle and NO PRESSURE. (I learned a valuable lesson when I rode the OCMM). This lovely razor glided across my face with the greatest of ease. The audible feedback is great and you can feel the whiskers being loosed..
After a smooth landing I finished with Florida Water for a pure sweet 2 pass BBS shave. Not a single nick/weeper. Absolutely NO razor burn. To accomplish the same thing with a typical DE I would need 3 passes w/ touch ups.
This razor not only looks great but shaves even better. It is a throwback to simpler more innocent time when style went along with function. The designers of these SE razors knew something... I now have shaved with all 3 of the Micro Mantics and "The Wing" is my favorite of all.... What can I say... Come FLY with me !!! I'm a LOSER all the way !!!
