Micromatic Flying Wing

In my hunt for birth year razors, I found out that the Micromatic Flying Wing was introduced in 1947. It is the one with the Guiding Eye machined on the cap. I found one on the Bay for a good price.



Pictures from the Bay.



When it arrived today, I didn't bother with pictures. It went straight to the Dawn soak and then toothbrush scrub. Here are pictures after the clean up. There is a  little plating loss on the bullet tip, but it is in otherwise very good shape.




Here it is next to my silver tone bullet tip. It has not guiding eye and evidently is 48-49.


Next I decided to compare my four Micromatics on my kitchen scale.

MMOC: 65g

MMCP: 63g

Flying Wing Guiding Eye MMBT: 70g 

MMBT: 71g
