    Thanks. The 1985 Super Adjustable is my birth year razor, but not birth quarter. Still, it gives a very good shave at settings 7-8 with a Voskhod, Ladas or GSB.

    Day 95.

    Pretty much like yesterday. 3.5 passes with the straight left everything but the lower neck in good shape. So the Karve carried it over the finish line.

    Good question, Robert.
    I just examined the razor and I am going to withdraw that statement. Indeed, I am going to spend some quality time with this razor. I may have been flippant with my remarks.

    That's pretty much what I'm doing, Joe. I try changing the angles, and here and there find something a little better. But I've yet to find a combination that quite does it like going straight across.
