1962 Gillette Slim. 3rd shave. Used setting 7 and preferred it to the first two shaves at 5. Will do one more shave at 7 before moving to 9. Great razor.
Adjustable April 24 Shave 15 Homelike Elbrus Wizamet SI That Darn Rob - Tux Mastersoap Creations - Vintage Spice Master Soap - This is the Two-Tone Elbrus and WOW does it look spectacular - my images don't do it justice. It took me a while to figure it out and I find that at about 4 and below, it's very angle specific. If I don't get it right, I end up doing to many passes. Above 4 that goes away. The brush is from "That Darn Rob", so goes back a while. Both the Vintage Spice Soap and Allura Splash are from Master Soap Creations and the blade is of course a Whizzy.. |
Adjustable April 24 / Shave 15 Shield Titanium Adjustable Wizamet SI No-Name Synthetic BunduBeard - Cedarberg Citrus Master Soap - Sample (Menthol) This is only my second shave with this Shield Adjustable. In order to adjust it you need to loosen the handle and push the plate across and re-tighten the handle. The problem with this is that repeatability becomes problematic. I learned my lesson after my first shave so I set it up as a slight differential last night. I also tend to apply too much pressure with lighter razors and kept this in mind throughout this mornings shave and ended up with slightly less smooth face but no weepers. |
It's why I typed that I was picturing an Ambassador. I wouldn't dare to break rules of any kind.#1
However, this thread shall by definition not include razors with interchangable baseplates

Have fun!
I can imagine some courts would accept this explanation!P.S. In my defence, it doesn't have interchangable baseplateS, it just has one baseplate.
Pull up! Hands where I can see them.I know, I know, the Yaqi Bohemia is not a real adjustable. But it's adjustable-ish AND I actually took it out because it sometimes reminds me of my Rex Ambassador, which is greatly missed.
People always nag about the blade feel of the Ambassador, but this thing on it's second plate feels close to an Ambassador at 4-ish...at least that's what I'm feeling, from memory.
In my head this was an Ambassador shave.
