Nice score indeed, you'll love the shave from a slim. Just remember the extra 1/4 turn to lock the doors and don't adjust without having the doors open.

never used a slim what setting should i start with?

**moonshine44** · 05-15-2010, 09:24 PM

3 is a good place to start with the Slim. Later you can open it up if you're so inclined...

Nice aquisition especially as prices for these seem to have hit the roof recently!

I bought a Slim for $12 a few months, ago. Now I see most are going for double of what I paid. The next Fatboy?

**Golden Ears** · 05-18-2010, 01:16 PM

Great acquisition! I ♥ My Slim. 3 is a good place to start, adjust as needed.

Probably not, due to the simple fact that slims were produced over a ~15 year period vs the fb being produced only for 4 years.

Seems a little milder than my Fatboy, at least to me. I like the Fatboy at 5. I've been using the Slim at 7.

I guess it depends on how aggressive you like your razor to be.

If it were me I'd start at 4 rather than 3 unless your beard is really soft and sparse or you are enamored of mild razors. YMMV.

Arent the heads on the Slim and Fatboy identical? I know the fatty weighs a bit more but I was under the assumption of the above.

Nope. The slim's head is flatter -- less domed -- than the fatboy.
Hold up a 40s superspeed and a regular superspeed and you'll see a similar difference.
