I love the Gillette Slim Adjustable, and the world should know it.
My first really good BBS shave as a newbie was with the 1965 K1 model and a Feather blade. Sadly, I sold it. (The razor, not the blade.) Why? I don't know. I only know I was kicking myself afterward. And I've regretted the sale ever since. Oh, well. That is life, right?
Fast forward a few months. Sunday I was visiting the local flea market--only the second time ever--and found another 1965 K1 Slim Adjustable in very good condition. I paid $5.00 for it without haggling. The razor is in beautiful condition. The only flaws are (1) a little black paint is missing in the "1" (all other numbers are fully black), and there are three very small spots of brassing on the handle--barely noticeable.
Maybe it's because I'm a Buddhist, but one of my favorite razors--the 1965 K1 Slim Adjustable--came back to me. I love karma.
Enjoy the photos.
