Slim!

Sweet. My first adjustable arrived today (thanks to my first eBay purchase). I had a great start, but went for the jugular and changed too many variables in an attempt to get a Perfect Shave very quickly. So I'm giving it a rest, and I'll start fresh with a light-weighted adjustable at 1 so I don't injure myself, or anyone around me, while I get more familiar with my facial topography.

So now I must stare at it (a Gillette adjustable, M3, 1967, in *amazing* shape) until after my wedding... I can almost taste it. (ptooey)

PS: This is my 100th post. I thought it should be about shaving stuff.

Congratulations on your 100th post and more importantly the acquisition of a Gillette adjustable.

Congratulations on your new purchase. I'm sure you'll really enjoy your new razor. After a few more months I'd like to step up to an adjustable. But I guess I should learn how to shave with a fixed head first.

Love the adjustable.

Once you figure out the different settings for your face you'll be smokin.

Congrats twice. Once for your wedding and once for your Gillette Slim.

You sir are a man of good fortune!

Congrats on your first adjustable. You are right, start at 1 and then find the setting that works best for you. Set it and forget it.

I have 8 and counting... 4 slims and 4 Fat Boys. Great shaves every time.

Rafael: You are so right. I found a slim adjustable not long ago, and started at 1. Went to 3 and stayed. Nice BBS shave again today.

Thanks, all! It is haunting me more and more... yet, it gives me something to really look forward to.

Forget the holidays, let me at that near-mint adjustable!
