One of the best shavers I have used but then I have only used an older pre Rick Harris endorsed Micro Touch One I got new in 2017 because the packaging all dented up and top taped back on as it was ripped open in my local Walgreens prior to this exact era of Gillette Adjustable shaver I got in late April of 2025 with a case backup in June 2025. With light mods to the backup the case cover by removing some bottom end plastic it fits barely my Micro Touch One I will only use for plane travel. My Micro Touch was slowly dying in 2024 so I was looking at new adjustable models but then locked up in March 2025 where I had to throw the device on the floor to open. I had to buy a Shaver replacement due to my not finding anything in Butterfly for adjustable shaving The Viking has different combs, the only good model was a no go with only one meting all the criteria was if I bought the expensive Rockwell T2 shaver that is now $150 but was $140--$150 when I was looking earlier this year. This lack of models that do not die like the Weishi adjustable or have flaws like the Viking Emperor series with the no comb/wider closed comb sides ended with getting the Gillette Adjustable same era as you have for $32.77 and then a backup with case for $36.87. I did not want to spend more than $50--$60 on an adjustable butterfly model where almost all of the comments do not say it eventually dies in some way or has some kind of flaw like the Viking Emperor series where the users have complaints because the no comb/deeper closed combs are so different.
Not too shabby, just some green oxidation at the base of the handle, I don't plan to mess with that though.
I had to get rind of this on my non case but that had some odd buildup in the blue green oxidization possibly a micro bit of shaving cream in as well from the original owner the seller got the Gillette Adjustable slim handle on the comb/parts in head for the adjustment and the open bottom of the twist knob so it would tighten up all the way, I had to get rid of the green blue possibly shaving cream/junk so I could use my shaver as the green blue was in the way of parts functioning properly and built up in parts. The other with case much nicer only having to remove some blue green around the open part on the twist knob so it could spin better without locking up while twisting as the bottom pin, was coated in the junk so it would not spin. I also did use rubbing alcohol on both shavers carefully wiping off in the head section to clean/disinfect them before using just in case somebody left say dead skin on the shaver head area, something brown-red, like an old scab came off the shaver along with the chrome in that small odd area. I have used the case model one time to sse how it works and it is fine just like my other; it is rather nice for being unrestored, I do not want to use that shaver until I have to.
