Beautiful Toggle Ron. Dialed up to eight, brave man

Thank you, Guy. What's a little danger.......? At "8" it felt close and smooth. I think all my Gillette adjustables are now set there.

Thanks. The Level 2 is just butter smooth and allowed me to speed. The level 3 requires more attention but gets to BBS easier.

I have a Level 2 CC and a Level 3 OC. The Level 2 is definitely a smooth shaver but I've been using the Level 3 since I got it. I agree that you need to pay attention to it. I'm about to change the plate to Level 2 for a while.

Broke in "Monday " from this beautiful Kiebitz 7-day set I received as a Christmas gift from my mom and her boyfriend. It had been his, but he stated it was time for it to get some use beyond just his getting it out and looking at it occasionally anymore.
SC Gratitude was very appropriate for today.
I'm thankful.
Merry Christmas to each of you.

Merry Christmas​
