Gillette Slims

Hi

I have two of these which I purchased recently however I notice that when I twiddle the severity adjustment knob ( or whatever you call it ) nothing seems visibly to change on the razor. Is this normal or is there something wrong with them?

Thanks

The base plate should lower or raise very slightly (less than a millimetre for each click) but you should be able to see it happen

Stick a blade in it, make sure the gap on both sides is the same and consistent.

Hmm looks like I've got duff ones then :s

Ah well. No use crying over spilt milk

Give it a good clean could be gummed up with old soap scum. Does it still click?

If you've got a blade in it open the 'doors' first before you try the adjuster. It won't work if the doors are locking the blade in position.
