Comments:
This was my first time with an adjustable razor, having purchased the Gillette from BlkKnight of this parish.
I started off with my usual first pass WTG at #1. So far, so same as using the tech (I think the Adjustable at setting one is the same as the tech)
Pass two, still on #1, this time XTG, everything going well and as per usual.
Pass 3, which is a diagonal against-the-grain on the face and a 'tidy up' on the neck, was carried out at setting #3, and I have to say the finish i got was heavenly. easily the best shave I've ever had, and left me with that "Is this my face I'm touching?" feeling afterwards.
I usually struggle with the areas just below the corner of my mouth, but the ADJ at setting 3 just left it smoother than I've felt it since I was a pre-teen.
A great, great shave, and an excellent razor added to my collection!
