I had a Slim and it was the only razor I've ever owned that I could not use because it was so rough/uncomfortable for me. And I get great shaves from my Wolfman DC standard gap.
I am glad someone else said it. For me the Slim is just entirely to rough to use. I have and keep one because it is a birth year razor but I absolutely hate the thing.
Not to derail the conversation, but I'm curious what makes the slim rough? Granted, I've only used mine maybe twice, as I greatly prefer the Fat Boy. I just assumed they shaved similarly. For reference, I use my FB on the 8 setting.
I can't really explain it. I have never used a FB or super adjustable, but I got good shaves from a Red Tip and other vintage Gillettes. The Slim just didn't work for me. I wanted it to, cause its a fine looking razor, but it didn't. I figured it was just me. YMMV of course!
