So having adopted this beautiful slim adjustable I'm after an idea of where to start.
What sort of setting gives a similar aggressiveness and blade gap to an HD500 with a Gillette super thin.
Hi there,
You might like to start with the setting at #3 or #4 for the first few shaves and see how that works. Seems to me most fixed head Gillettes feel like they're set on about #5, if that helps at all.
One important thing to remember when using Gillette adjustables is to make sure you lock the head properly. That's done by giving the handle an extra 1/4 turn once it's sorta snugged down. It's tough to explain what I mean, but you'll feel it. Heh, you don't want that blade flopping around in mid stroke.
