Hi all,
I had a great shave this morning with a classic Gillette whether you like it or not the Slim adjustable is an iconic razor.
Following immediately after it’s more famous older cousin the $1.95/Fatboy adjustable.
As far as I can tell on close inspection the adjustable head is the same on both models. (My opinion only)
Although the plating is of better quality on the $1.95/Fatboy.
As far as which one I prefer shave wise.
I would pick the slim purely because the longer handle is a bit easier for me to manoeuvre.
The razor on setting seven worked very well with the Wizamet blade.
Like all adjustable razors , the settings are up to the individual to work out what suits them best.
One pass WTG/ATG with a couple of touchups.
No nicks no worries.
Finished off nicely with the classic 4711 aftershave splash.
Cheers.
