Picked up a Gillette H1 Slim Boy off Ebay, and it works perfect, used it just now with a Wilkinson sword blade on setting 3. No nicks whatsoever

My only one in years was a '63 Slim last week. Great razor! I bought it to compare with my '61 195.

This slim boy seems to perform better than my fat boy
I find it's a bit more maneuverable with the smaller head but I think, at least mine, is a touch more aggressive on a given setting than the 195. Could be a simple adjustment issue or they changed the settings slightly from the 195s.
1940 Super Speed, 1961 Fatboy, 1964 Flare tip all in route to me currently. Have a Slim and a Tach that i never use but really like collecting the vintage Gillette's.
