I'm a self-professed mild-boi, but the Micro-Matic Open Comb is still a favorite of mine. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. A light touch and it feels nice and tame. A very close shave.

I'm determined to kill this balm. It's getting low, but this stuff lasts a very long time. I don't know why I want to get rid of it so much. It doesn't take up that much space. I think I might just be someone who prefers commercial balms over the artisan options.
