Single pass, DFS. I was too lazy to do the ATG pass to get to the full cue ball finish...
Face:
1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable @4
Nacet (3)
Kicked the Slim up a notch from yesterday, and the results were much better. I was also more careful to make sure the blade was fully clamped down. Three passes, BBS.
I'm still not sure a Nacet is the right blade for the Slim, which is not an especially smooth shaver. Today's results are more validating, though.

I grew to like all Supersedes a lot. The Flare Tips are mild yet still efficient. The "40's style" are more aggressive and very efficient. When paying minimal attention, I get smooth and great feeling shaves with this razor. If I am not paying attention, it may leave the skin feeling "scratchy". The shaves seem to be closer and longer lasting than with Slims or other Superspeeds.
