They have been cleaned and disinfected, ready to be used.

Paypal gift, first PM secures.

Re: FS: FlareTip Superspeed

Please excuse my ignorance Max, but if we compare this superspeed to say a slim adjustable, how aggressive by comparision would the superspeed be? For instance, what number setting on the adjustable would match the spuerspeed, do you think?

Prof,

For fear of not giving the right info, I'll let someone else who uses both comment on that.
From my memory, it's probably about a "4", but I might be wrong...

Anyone who has both care to comment?

Hi Prof,

To me, most superspeed models (including the flare tip) feel like about the #4-5 setting on the Gillette scale. That's not to say the superspeed is gonna shave like a slim set on that same number though. Sadly, that's not how DE razors work. The amount of bite is just a part of what makes razors different from each other, which results in how they perform. For example, the head design plays a major role in how a particular razor will fit.

Hope that helps somehow,

Martin

Hi Prof, what is your proffered setting with the slim Adj :?:
 
Re: FS: FlareTip Superspeed

I usually start with a 3 or 4, then dial down one for the next pass, so by the third pass I'm on 1 or 2. I know this won't suit everyone, but it suits me, and I haven't had any nick or weepers, or skin problems since I've been using the adjustable this way.
