Ok this isn't a what's better thread. What I want to know is how do others razors by Gillette compare to the settings on a Slim. A Tech, The NEW SC and LC, etc. Thank you.
My slim on a 3 is close to a tech, and superspeed, 2 is slightly less aggressive then a de89.. my parker 24 open comb is at about a 5. At 9 its still less aggressive then fattip or r41. I have heard different comparisons from others. I usually use my slim on a 6 or 7.
Besides the gap on a razor, other things can also influence it's aggressiveness. It's weight, balance, angle when shaving and head shape can add to it. It can also be a personal thing as every person's shave is different. Saying that, I keep my Gillette adjustables on either #6 or #7, depending on how many days it's been since I shaved.
I care. I posted this because I've used a slim and I want to know how other Gillettes compare to the different settings.
I almost didn't believe it when I first started DE shaving, but you are correct. Shame you have to say it so much Fuzzy.
The end result would be that they both leave you equally smooth, which for me they don't. It's all according to your point of view and how you word sentences. I still beg to differ however, but lets agree to disagree.
