    Schick adjustable, vintage Schick Twin blade, shave 4
    [​IMG]

    After using an 80s adjustable time to compare against a 70s style one since the guards didn't line up the same on the highest setting. The 80s style one which is undesignated but identifiable by the all plastic handle without stickering had more gap about 3 clicks more than the 70s style seen here when fully opened up. This one is also known as a M2 and like the 80s style adjustable was also designed to use these twin blades. Those 3 clicks more of adjustment do make a difference in aggressiveness but not the overall finish. There might be more of a discrepancy in finish using single edge blades but that is for another day. End result BBS finish achieved and both adjustables have out performed the N1 with a twin blade so far.

    Next I want to try this twin blade in a 60s style adjustable which was not designed for using twin blades and see how well it works wide open.

    More on the Type M adjustables
    https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/schick-type-m-injectors-for-dummies.64180/

    I am also going to tenatively say these vintage Schick Twin blades are even better than the modern Japanese Schick II twin blades in that seem to have a sharper edge.

    Thanks, Gary. You must be online as I just posted. I've been enjoying some of my modern razors lately. But I still have & use some of my Gillette beauties. Have a great weekend!

    My heartthrob got the call today. It’s a quarter hollow at best from 1825 and requires a little more work than a fuller hollow. But, I love it and it’s settling in after three shaves with it now. :happy036:
