Going to look at one tonight, possibly to buy as it is my birth year razor. Any red flags I should be aware of? don't want this to be a hangar queen, after all.
No pictures?I noticed that . . . it would tighten, but then there was a slightly harder turn at the end.
All in all it was in very good shape . . . some marks from use (water spots, etc.), but nothing that a little polish wouldn't clear up. Pretty good deal, so I took it.
The ‘slightly harder turn’ is the ‘final quarter turn’ — it is designed to be ‘harder’ so as to ‘lock down’ the blade. If you find that it’s a bit too hard, a few hot water/Dawn soap baths will loosen it up well.I noticed that . . . it would tighten, but then there was a slightly harder turn at the end.

Alignment is key, otherwise you could be getting a different shave on each side. Check the alignment with a blade in the razor. Mines not perfect but with a blade in it corrects the issue. I’m not sure if that’s normal but mine works

Pics, or it didn't happen
+1! Yes indeed! Hope it is a great razor!
Well, I'm shaving with it tomorrow morning, so it did. I'll post pics if and when I feel like it.
I agree! I love my Slim, and enjoy reading of others' Slims and seeing photos, especially the ones found off line, in the real world. Hope the shave go well!Just like to see some pictures of your Slim
No worries brother, it's all good.Apologies if that came off as snippy, but I have never been much for posting pics of anything online.
