Today is 03–09-2025, Day 66 out of 300+.


Razor: Vintage Gillette - Slim Adjustable - H-2, (Year - 1962)
Blade: Rezolution - Ice Tempered Stainless Blade - DAY # 4 USEAGE
Bowl:
N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smell is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel

Used my Vintage Gillette’s today it a Slim Adjustable - H-2, (Year - 1962), I bought from a Badger & Blade Member. Three passes, With, Across, &, Against the Grain, using a Rezolution - Ice Tempered Stainless Blade. Today was DAY # FOUR for this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. This Blade, pretty darn good blade. Giving this Blade a big Ooh-rah. Apparently made in Germany, it’s a super Sharpe Blade I would defiantly purchase again.

Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.99++ Close to BBS. Results were great because I payed a lot with there Adjustment Dial on the Slim, Starting out on Setting 1 the LOWEST for first pass, then moving up to Setting 3 to do passes # 2, & #3. Technique, Head Angle, and Gap Changing reaped rewards, of DFS, not chasing BBS, but still got Another Great Shave. SHORT Strokes not more than 1.5”s long at a time on forest pass seem to work best. Pass’s Two & Three was nothing more than cleaning up last of short Beard on face. Razor setting #1, and #3, setting worked best for me today, think that is my sweet spots with this blade.

Using Tube today of Cremo - Refreshing Mint, This scent is very very nice, it doesn’t knock you over, but scent is present. It leaves a slight tingling sensation like menthol post use. Still working in the Cremo with my Omega Boar, it seems to helped getting Beard to stand up for closer shave. Working with Brush on Face don’t lather much, but seem to help raise Beard for Shaving off.

I am a Vintage Gillette Junkie, That is all I own, they work well, never failing to give good DF Shave with New Sharp Blade. This Adjustable Slim is my heaviest Razor, compared to other Vintages I own. But this is a flipping Great Razor, that does produce a Dam Fin e Shave, can’t imagine much better results from a modern super razor. Sorry but people need to try a Vintage Gillette Slim Adjustable with an open mind, if they don’t own one. Lots of bang for buck, any many levels of aggression built into one great Razor. JMHO
