Gentlemen,
This is the first thread I've started on this site and I apologize if this has been covered before. My go to razor is a '66 Slim Adjustable. I load it with an Astra SP several times weekly and it works great. I've used it daily for over a year and love it.
I just bought a '63 Slim on the B/S/T the other day in hopes of getting the same results. I'm not. To me it seems more rigid, less responsive and I get nicked more.
I've got a year or two of DE under my belt and I'm a pretty decent shaver. Tabac soap is my gold standard and I've never had a bad shave with it until now. Several ingrown hairs also.
Is this all in my head? Both razors are functionally sound. Both open and close properly and both adjust like they're supposed to. I'm stumped here and would like to know what experience others have had.
Thanks,
Don
