Notes of Interest: The Micromatic was a popular type of one-piece single-edge razor produced by the American Safety Razor Company under their GEM brand. Produced between the 1920's and the 1940's, the Micromatics were eventually produced in three different styles:  *The Original (introduced ca. 1929, still advertised ca. 1938 - aka antenna handle) This was the basic design of the Micromatic, a one-piece razor with a spade head that opened and closed via a knob at the tip of the handle, specifically built to take single-edge blades. *B&B
