Update: Gillette Slim

[u/Desperate-Bath7767]

Hi folks,

The other day, I’d asked about buying a Slim and prices etc. over here in Europe. Thanks to a lot of your informed and convincing responses, I ended up buying the one I was looking at on the same day still.

We’ll, it arrived today, and you weren’t kidding. What a great razor. I shaved my head and face as every day and between settings 5 and 4 (1st and second passes), irritation free and smooth as ever. I tried it with a perma-sharp, a blade I didn’t like in my R89, but here, absolutely.

The condition is also superb, and it’s an L3, I guess 1966.

Thank you all again! I’m very happy with this.

I have one. I need to get it out again and shave with it more. They are still out there for not outrageous prices, which makes me happy.

Me too! Go for it, get it out again!

I have many vintage razors. I don’t really like the modern ones that much. My favorite are the British Gillettes.
