I received my long handle Gillette Super adjustable yesterday and cleaned it according to some tips picked up here in the Den. Using Mama Bear soap and a CVS blade I started on #4 but quickly jumped to 6. The long handle definitly helped me get the right angle. I took my time and re-visited some areas 3 and four times but ended up with a pretty good shave. Had only 3 very minor nicks. I have some better (I think) blades coming from the Den's store so things might even get better.
