My first outing with the slim. Started at 6. Quickly cranked it up to 7. Still not enough so went to 8 with a frown on my face. Still not enough so went all the way to 9.

Wanted more still but she didn't have any more to give!

Long shave, buffing for bbs. Wasn't satisfied so eventually just stopped. Started to grab another razor for a proper finish but decided to see how this one feels 12 hrs later.

An hour after the shave, the skin having time enough to rebound, as it always does, found that I actually had a pretty nice bbs. Pleasant surprise!

It's a very, very mild shaver. Zero irritation though. We'll see how it goes but if this is all it's got I'm gonna kick it to the curb sooner rather than later! Unless I decide to keep it for when I'm in the old folks home...
