Makes a difference..
i honestly think it was an image of an instruction booklet off site somewhere
and whatever it was, it made it clear to "lock" with the extra half turn after dialing in the setting
There is a thread here that has the Gillette Adjustable instructions listed, and yes, it does mention the extra 1/4 turn. It makes no mention of loosening the action prior to adjusting either. While I think it may be less stressful on the razor to make adjustments with it lose, all the adjuster does is raise or lower the base plate, changing blade gap. Blade angle stays the same.
The extra turn is on the bottom (the TTO), not where is adjusts (the numbers). That's done on all TTO's, right?
No, it is my understanding that this extra 1/4 to lock is only possible with a Gillette Slim Adjustable. I certainly can't make this extra turn with my Fatboy.
