    Mail call with my first adjustable razor. Will give a spin tomorrow. Picture is after the best cleaning and polishing I could give it. Still looks a little rough around the edges but everything is in working order so it should shave well. It came with these NOS blades as well. [​IMG]

    Arko in a tub, is it the same product as the paper & foil wrapped stick?

    I received a wonderful gift today from @gorgo2, a Gillette Slim. This is my first adjustable razor and I can't wait to try it. I have an Astra SP blade loaded up and its set on 5. I've only really ever used a Super Speed so I've read that this setting is slightly more aggressive. I have high hopes for this razor.

    Nice gift. It's a great razor. I love mine set on 5. Experiment with the settings. Start low and work your way up until you find "your" setting.

    I think the mailman is getting tired of me
    The silver mug and Wedgwood badger brush was purchased as a lot.
    The Type B2 is in really nice shape and functions fine. The extra blades are unopened.

    I bought the injector lot and blades because it was a deal. Some of these are duplicates of ones I already have. Time to clean them up and see what I will keep.

    I love this razor. I kept it on 5 all over for today. Only two passes and a DFS. It's going to be fun experimenting with the settings on this.
