    My birth quarter razor arrived today! It's a Slim Adjustable M2, and for once I don't think I will have to do much to restore it... It's in pretty awesome condition already.

    Still, I will be sure to post an "after" picture later on, if I can improve on it at all from its current state.

    I'm totally stoked about this razor. Planning to use it either tonight or tomorrow morning!

    Also thinking about a possible avatar as a result. 5 minutes of Photoshop later:

    That deserves to be your avatar! Nice job on that. Hope the shave goes well. I was just thinking the other day, I've got a birth quarter Super Adjustable that I got last year I haven't even shaved with. Maybe I'll get to it in a couple months when my birthday comes around.

    Think I fixed the original. Not sure why they didn't transmit before.

    Nice. I find it satisfying to shave with a birth quarter razor. I probably wouldn't have cared when I was younger, but now i have more of a sense of history.

    Nice Slim! Mine arrived last week I was disappointed because the gap was tapered from one end to the other. Didn't see it in the pictures. Found Razor Emporium has a tune up service for $20 so sent it there to be fixed. Can't use now anyway I'm in the middle of my 30 day rule with the MicroTouch.

    That seems to be a common issue with adjustable razors.
