An absolutely wonderful shave this morning, first time using the Gillette Platinum Plus blades, and they are superb. The real surprise was the Super Adjustable, I already have a 1965 Slim which is one of my favourite razors. What makes this T2 so special (no not birth year that is the 1965 slim) is I got this along with another razor I was after and so I was not too disappointed when it turned out the safety bar was well out of whack on both sides. The razor looked pretty mucky in the eBay photos but it did clean up very nicely, after some google foo I set about the razor with a butter knife and to my surprise I managed to coax the safety bars back into what looked a good enough state to me. Today was the first shave with the razor and what a superb result, totally smooth shave and finish. I am well chuffed!
