You know what I'd do with one of those?....ya, this could get interesting, I don't think you're ready for this..."custom exotic hardwood handle retrofitted to the adjustable head"

Don't mention it brother! Disassembly is actually fairly easy, it's reassembly that proved difficult, for me anyways.
Glad you enjoyed[emoji106]
Awesome video! Makes me want to try and take my slim apart and clean it up. Keep up the great work! 
Love it, love it , love it! I know what I'll be busy with this weekend. Oh wait, I need one of those sonic jewlery cleaners. Sooo, I now what I'll be busy doing next weekend.

Weapons I have no problem with, but something like this? I'd break it for sure!

Great thread Captain.
That's one great video. Thanks for contributing that expertise to the community here.
Nice job, Captain. I wish I were as handy as you. If I did this most likely I would drop one of the small parts and lose it.
Especially small spring loaded parts which have a way of launching themselves into space and rebounding from walls and furnishings like jet propelled pin balls coming to rest in the most dark and inaccessible places.
What an awesome job you've been doing with these.
The super adjustable must be next!

Excellent video of the process. 
I only have a one quibble, really, but not with the disassembly/reassembly process. The Slim's adjustment mechanism is exactly the same as the standard Fatboy's. The guard plate is not what does the adjusting as you say in the video. The adjustment plate rides up and down on top of the indexed ring, and this is what raises the blade up away from the guard plate and causes the silo doors to clamp down on it higher up. If you want to see this for yourself, just hold the adjustment plate flush up against the bottom of the guard plate with your thumb while you dial the ring all the way down to 1. You'll see the ring drops away but nothing else about the head changes, and you can then move the adjustment plate down to sit flush with the top of the ring, which is what happens when you lock the doors down.

Thank you, Alex.
It's the least I can do
Doing my best here! Super Adjustable eh?
Aye, you sir are correct! When I made this determination, I did so with the razor closed and locked down while I turned the adjustment knob. It does seem as though the blade bed plate moves up and down when really it is the rest of the head assembly that is moving. Thank you for pointing this out! My apologies on the Juvenile wet-shaver assumption GentlemenExcellent video of the process.
I am learning with y'all
Nicely done.
Great video. I'm subscribed. The Slim Adjustable razor is awesome! Made in the U.S.A.

Why yes, often times I compare my Fatboy to my 1954 Chevrolet 3100 1st series pickup truck[emoji106]
Thanks!
