TWO bottom dials? Well done sir
Can I join despite not having any pics of my recently acquired H-3 '62 Slim? I've only had it a few days and its already skyrocketed to the spot of my absolute favorite DE yet.

Yeah, you can join. Just post a pic here when you get a chance.
This cap is actually part of the set and can be seen in the instructions.
Thanks, looks like you have a slice of adjustable heaven in your den too.

Thanks for posting these instructions! Very cool. I have a set of instructions that came with my Fatboy Executive but they are still sealed and I don't want to open them. Seeing your set was very neat.
I am hoping to add a Toggle to my den in the near future. Thanks for sharing that!
Thanks, I have been most fortunate. I have a soft spot for adjustables, my wife thinks the soft spot is in my head......
if you need a instruction, you can look here:

the 1960 Executive instruction also available
Of the adjustables at hand, the FatBoy is the one I've logged more time on. I enjoy the hefty feel in the hand and of course the ability to tailor the exposure to fit the blade used.
Ok, I'm in.
Sorry about the bad pic.

Sounds like fun, here are a couple of mine a Slim (h2) and a Toggle (f4). I have had a number of slims for awhile, but just recently coming around to appreciate the adjustables.
My wife and I stopped by an Antique/Consignment shop yesterday, the store was pretty big and i was mostly looking for fancy glassware/goblets for when i drink beer. But i ended up finding one of these old school Gillette razors.
The adjustable part works great and the butterfly part closes tight, so it seems like it's gonna work great.
i gave it a quick clean with a toothbrush and some toothpaste. All the scum came off and no rust on the razor except for a few spots on the top of the handle, under the head (see last pic)
A fellow poster told me that since it's an H-3, it's about 50 yrs old. So i'm pretty stoked about finding something like this.

Nice toggle BJT.
Thanks, got super lucky on the "bay" and picked it up for a steal!
Hmm. I'm just not that lucky. Hoping to add a toggle soon. I need to keep my eyes open on the 'bay!
My father in law's excellent condition F1 Fat Boy that I was lucky enough to receive.
