Morning guys!
When I found my old 1964 Slim in a box, I decided to use it, but was immediately reminded why it turned me off of old Gillette razors for awhile years ago.
While my recently purchased 1959 195 Fatboy is incredibly smooth, comfortable and effective to use, an all around pleasure, my old Slim was the opposite experience. Set on “2” (one notch below my 195) it was an incredibly harsh bloody experience, basically just as I remember it.
Very strange. I’ve looked in vain for gap or blade alignment issues and the adjustment mechanism seems to be working fine, but could be something I’m missing.
I’m assuming the shave experience should be similar between the Slim and Fatboy, so I’m guessing something must be off with that Slim.
