I have in my posession and old Gilette - - “Fat Boy” I believe - - it was my dear uncle’s.

Having used a safety razor for years, I wanted to try an adjustable one. The problem is… I end up cutting my face, with the adjustment at zero (longest cut). I am using the same blades I get from Amazon: Derby Premium Double Edge. I cannot imagine dialing the razor in for a closer cut!

I assume it’s just the design of the razor but thought I’d ask the experts...
