For a long time I had my Gillette Slim adjustable set at 5 (out of 9) and never considered dialing it up. I had read many posts about guys shaving with their Fatboys or Slims set on the highest setting of 9. I had my technique down and I just didn't feel the need to dial up to 9. I was happy with my Slim set at 5. I bought a Futur and set it at the highest setting which is 6 and I couldn't believe how my shaves improved. I realized that it was easier to shave with the higher setting because I didn't have to fight to find the right angle, instead I shaved with a shallower angle which made shaving much easier. I also tried it using my Slim and dialed it up to 9 and it is easier and quicker to shave on a higher setting than a lower one.
I recommend dialing up the adjustable razor to anyone who has their technique down. I bet you'll get a closer, easier shave in less time. Just give it a try.
