This is one of 5 Vikings Blade razors I own and one of two of the adjustables. Man, this razor has caused me many a bloodbath. No matter what setting I placed it on, no matter what blade I used (at least five different blades) the results were always the same. Pain and blood. While some people might get into that kinda thing, it's not for me. Anyway, this morning I was using my other adjustable from VB, The Emperor Agustus, and had a fantastic shave! After cleaning, I placed it in it's place next to the MEIJI and really began to wonder why I couldn't get a shave out of the MEIJI.
After a serious scrutinazation of the razor it became blindingly obvious as to the reason......
The adjustment mechanism wasn't gapping the blade evenly and yes when I make a blade adjustment I loosen the blade lock then re tighten. After a brief conversation with the helpful people at Amazon, I'm currently awainting a no charge replacement due in on Monday the 19th.
I don't know weather or not this might help someone else out, but hey, it's here for future reference.
