Just to double check, you do have the two marks aligned on the head before tightening?

sirion said:Yeah, the triangle on the base of the razor is lined up with the notch on the curved top plate. I remember seeing a picture about some specific direction the razor blade itself is supposed to be placed in the Progress, but I can't seem to find it, nor can I figure out how that would make a difference.
A clue to this puzzle:
Using Scotto's clue, I tried shaving some hair off of my arm, and I couldn't do it with the way my razor was set up. I could only do it when I readjusted the progress as follows:
Tightened progress all the way down. This ended up on a 1.
Then, instead of loosening two or three notches up to a 2.5 or 3.5, I went a whole circle around, and set it to the next 2.5. At this point, I could cut some hair off of my arm. Thoughts?

Hey Scotto,Scotto said:Looking more closely at your pictures, something looks odd, though it may just be the picture. If you look at the blade thickness, it seems much thicker in the middle than the edge. Look in particular at your second picture - something doesn't seem quite right, almost like there is something else in there with the razor blade. Then again, I may be imagining things. I'm glad it is shaving now, though.
I use a toothbrush and some Bartenders Friend (abrasive cleaner I use in my kitchen) to clean up the razors every now and then.
