I have never used an adjustable razor, so these questions could be generic or particular to the Gillette Slim Adjustable I am thinking about:
1. I understand the adjustment needs to be made with the doors open/loose blade. Is this true? If that is the case, it seems a little difficult to adjust it on the fly, while shaving, for different areas of the face.
2. If I don't shave for 2-3 days and have a somewhat heavy beard and sensitive skin (yeah, I got the best of both worlds!) would I start with a more aggressive setting (3-4) on the 1st pass and then tone it down for the next passes, or should I start with a mild setting (1-2) and then go up for the next passes?
Thank you for answering my questions.
