    I just got my 1973 Black Beauty today. I gave it a good scrub and it looks 10 times better than the pics on eBay. Can't wait to use it. All the numbers on the dial are still black too!

    I'm gonna start it at 3 and turn it up after each shave till I find my sweet spot.

    I shaved with it today on 3. At first I thought "man I've got techs that are more aggressive". After a 3 pass shave I ended up getting the most gentle and smoothest BBS I've ever had. Next shave I'm gonna crank it up to a 5.
