Gillette Slim Twist-Used it Today

I received a British Gillette Slim Twist as part of a Christmas package. I got to use it today. I loaded it up with a Gillette Silver Blue. I didn't know what to expect with the light weight plastic handle. I was pleasantly surprised. With all the weight in the head, it gave up a very smooth, close, intuitive shave.

 

I've seen these but never knew if they were ok. Now I do! Thanks, nice review. Picture!!

 

Glad to here. I've never use a slim twist and was curious how they performed.

 

Nice Christmas gift!! I've never tried a British Slim Twist with the fatter,flatter handle,only the thinner round handled American ones..Are both handles(thin and fat) the same length would you know? The thin handled ones basically shave like a SuperSpeed to me,but with a longer thinner handle..

 

I have no idea how the two compare size wise. I agree that the shave is very much like a regular Super Speed.

 

Cool. Can't go wrong with the Gillette Silver Blue blades either, that is my first choice in blades in all my razors following by Astra SP

 

Shave #2 today. The grip and balance are very good. This may end up being my travel razor.......

 

Interesting. I passed one of these up yesterday because i din't like the look of the handle. It might just be the perfect travel razor though.
