You could argue that the Gen 2 has better blade alignment than the Gen 1 but
That should only be true if you use spineless GEM blades. With modern GEM blades, the blade bumps are without function as far as I can see.
The TTO mechanism is quite elegant.
The pinnacle of safety razor technology IMO, and a beauty of engineering. It’s a mechanism actuated by a single degree of freedom, acting on two degrees of freedom, never jams and works for nearly a century without maintenance or disassembly required. Hard to beat.
The only reason I own a Clog-Pruf is because I mentioned once that I wanted a razor with that mechanism, but had no interest in a MMOC. Someone introduced me to the Clog-Pruf, with the same mechanism but a friendlier shave.

I haven’t tried a Clog-Pruf because the MMOC has always been good to me. That mechanism is worth having no matter what the razor. Whoever designed it had a very good day at the drawing board. @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social is spot-on; a beauty of engineering.
The Clog-Pruf is a great razor, but it’s not actually that different a shave from the MMOC. I’m not sure why one has this great reputation and the other is described as the razor from hell when they are very similar and both great. 🤷♂️

Interesting! I think I do find the MM24 and Pushbutton more enjoyable.
I never really clicked with the Pushbutton (hehe). I thought it’s a fine shaver, but so are most GEMs.
It’s the favourite GEM of Semaj, Wyze0ne lauded it on discord the other day, and now you. Clearly I should good it a second chance
