I got a nice gift in a package just in time for christmas. It said "from Santa" but I could figure out it was sent from (or Santa sent it through) my good friend Jeff (JSB33). I had read a lot about him getting an adjustable Fat Boy and discussed a couple of times with him about the advantages with being able to adjust the razor. This was a couple of months ago - and now suddenly I have one.
It is a Gillette Super Adjustable made in 1971 in the second quarter of the year. Looks and works like a brand new razor and still tight in the adjustment mechanism. I am truly thankful for this wonderful gift - and I couldn't be more excited about the testing of it. I have come to "5" in the adjustment and still it is a very comfortable shaver. I suspect that when I come to "9" my head will be cut clean off.
I am currently running it with an Astra Platinum blade and it feels a bit similar in the hand to my Gillette Knack from 1970 with the same kind of handle (the Knack is a little longer) - although the Super Adjustable is considerably heavier. Having my best shaves ever with it.
I extend my greatest thanks to "Santa"
What settings do you guys use for your adjustables?
