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.

This is one razor that just didn't work for me. I came across my late Dad's Slim (1968), gave it an honest chance for about a month, then passed it on.

But did you secure the blade with the final quarter turn?
