Hello, I'm Gene.
I would like to start off by saying I really love this site. I read it everyday so thank all you posters for that.
I have a question. I am still pretty new to using a DE but have been using a brush and soap for a long time though thanks to you guys I use better soaps, creams, and brushes. I have a few razors I mess with. My wife and I are always on the look out for vintage razors. We found a gilette black beauty adjustible 1974 at a flea market for 5 bucks. When I got it home and put a blade in it I noticed that the blade exposure was uneven across and one side had more of a gap then the other. I read online to use a screw driver and bend the bars. I did that and it seems to be better but not perfect. My questions are. is this a good razor? Was the price good? Is the uneven exposure an issue and if so how would you go about fixing it? And are you aware of this being a known issue. I hope that wasn't to much lol if so I am sorry. Thanks again for all the awesome info on here. And thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
