And so we begin our second full year of THEME WEEKS! This year will start the same as last year - with the adjustables. Do you tinker and toy with it? Or do you lock and leave it? And be sure to show off your favorite razor with some pics. (nah, I'll leave the line. Someone will pick it up and run with it straight to...)
Cool !! I'll polish up my beautiful '65 Gillette Adjustable.....I haven't used this sweetheart of a razor for awhile .....this should be fun..... The first year I rediscovered TWS, I learned to get great shaves on every setting.....it was an education.... Now I haven't used an adjustable in so long, I don't know where to start....lol....
Monday Thought I'd take 'em on in chronological order, so up today was my '61 Fatboy, loaded with a Voskhod blade and set at 6. Great shave.
Monday: Merkur Futur ste at 3/Red IP (1) Sadly I only have 2 adjustables the Futur and a Gillette Slim,this might be the time to scout out a Mergress or a Fatboy
My Merkur Progress is waiting for me at the post office. If I interpret this theme correctly, I will be able to participate. Right?
What do think you may be misinterpreting? The Progress is adjustable, this is Adjustable Week. Of course you can participate! Just make sure you give us a report on how well you like it. Oh, and some pics, 'cause you know ya ain't really got it 'less you show us the pics.
I'm not particularly clever. So I just wanted to make sure But both a very light report and pictures will probably be posted sometime this week
I only have 2 adjustables so I'll just be flipping between the Slim & FatBoy - this morning was my slim! I think me getting used to straights and razors like the R41 have caused me to really need to keep them wide open at 9...
I know Justin, my R-41 has ruined me. Mow I have to have a really aggressive razor to want to shave. The 89 is as low as I'll go. I'm going to use my Slim Adjustable all week though, just to participate though. It'll be cranked wide open.
I just got a Schick Dial on Friday and today was my third shave with it. WOW!! BBS wth no irritation. Set to 4 with a Ted Pella blade and face lather with Williams, then some Veg. to finish things off. Much better than any DE shave.
I've got three adjustable razors: 1969 Super Adjustable “Black Beauty” Gillette (Nickel) (O3) 1969 Super Adjustable “Black Beauty” Gillette (Gold) (O4) 1968 Slim Adjustable Gillette (Nickel) N4 The '69 Black Beauty (Nickel) is on loan to my son-in-law so I will be using the '69 Black Beauty (Gold) and my '68 Slim this week. I started with my favorite razor the '69 Slim.
Used my 62 slim this morning with a Gillette black for a two pass (set at 7 & 5) with Razorock XXX and a Grosevnor brush. Tomorrow it's Super Adjustable long, followed by SA short, I will finish up with Fatboy Friday.
