Thread: gillette super adjustable vs modern de's.

I agree ^^ wholeheartedly with the above. As a matter a fact "I" would recommend that someone getting into DE's not start with an adjustable. Not that its that big a deal, but mastering a slant or the R41 if you want "aggressive," or a simple "run-of-the-mill" DE to begin with I think is great fun with all the blade choices sans the burden of settings.

Of course I also advocate getting what you like too so...

Hope you like whatever you get. Every DE has a magic of its own too - just like a straight.
