Gillette adjustable (slim)

It does have benefits when using different blades or having to dial down for sensitive areas. However I am doubtful if changing the aggressiveness during the shave has significant benefit.
Perhaps there are compromises entailed in the Gillette design. For me being unable to get a five star shave at any setting cancels out the benefit of getting a three or four star shave at nine settings.

I have a tough white beard. I routinely use a Muehle R41 Open Combe with a Feather blade and a custom handle. It's an aggressive combination.

If I fancy a change I use a Slim Adjustable opened up to 9 with a Feather. I does the job nearly as well, and the Slim is nice in the hand, even if I prefer a longer and heaver handle.
