Let me try this again. This razor has the J 1 (JAY-1) stamped on it. Gillette is all I know.
Thank you for any help.

I have been shaving for a couple of months. Still have some little problems here and there, but overall doing fine. Should I use this razor so early in my learning? Or should I wait until I have more shaves under my belt. I use a Merkur Long Handle.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Dial it down to 3 and have at it! just dont mess with the #'s until you get more shaves under your belt- as you said.
Post up your results..

If you use it on setting (1) to start with you should be fine to use it - just take your time.

Have the same razor myself. Shaves me great on 3. Just go easy on the pressure, let the weight of the razor work for you.
This is a very forgiving razor -- perfect for learning.
I went from a Long Handle to the slim adjustable (and a Fat Boy). Just stay on the lower end numbers for a while until you learn its qualities. I love mine!Lvis said:
I have a slim adjustable too. It wasnt my starter razor, but it would have worked just as well. I love it.
