It all depends on how you use them, and what you personally need.This probably gets asked time and time again, with regards to the 3 main Gillette adjustable (Fatboy, Slim and super adjustable) are there major differences between the settings and aggressiveness of shaves given. I have used all 3 but aesthetically prefer Nickel plated so Slim and Fatboy. To me the Slim and Fatboy shave the same (this was about 6 months ago I last used one) and in that time I have gone back to basics with wet shaving using a simple 3 piece Ikon and have refined and got my technique, what I believe, to be perfect. Now I think I can throw an adjustable in the mix for what it's worth to see if I can get better shaves.
I believe some people think adjustables are a gimmick but are they really an improvement over a fixed head?
Any advice.
Some people like to adjust their adjustable razor after every pass. Now, I think that may be a gimmick!

I use a Gillette Tech it clamps the blade perfectly without alignment issues, the shave with a Nacet blade is first class, one in good condition will not cost you a fortune either.
Setting 9 was the only one that worked for me, the rest were just for show.
These two sentences don't compute to me.I use a Gillette Tech
These two sentences don't compute to me.
I find the Slim on 7 is more efficient than a Tech and anything above 7 on the two models I own results in blade chatter and a risky shave.
It's a funny old game this.
I used a UK 1972 Tech today with a Nacet, superb shave!
