I have the same one, do you set it to 9 or 1? Blades are getting harder to find though,

I keep it on 9 all the time.
I recommend buying as many blades as you can when you get the chance, supplies have been dwindling lately.

Oh crap really?? Please don't tell me that's permanent? I just got some more feather blades but maybe I need to keep buying and stock up. Shit.

Feather is Japanese so they are probably easier to get. Most Gillette blades are made in Russia so that explains the current situation.

Ok that makes sense. Also that's a huge relief.

These razors are still used in a lot of the world so I'd not worry that they'll stop producing them....

I've always left mine on a middle setting but now I wonder if I should experiment more. I bought it maybe 20 years ago. Mine looks the same, but not sure how to date it.
I get my blades (Feather brand) online.

Check for a letter and a number under the head of the razor, the letter indicates the year of production and the number indicates what quarter of the year it was made. Feather is a great choice, it's a bit sharper than what I use (Astra) so maybe it could be used on a lower setting. Be careful when changing the number

Nice! Mine has a J and a 3. Quick internet search is telling me it's from 64. Thanks for the details!

I cut my face up with feathers on a more aggressive setting with that razor. I found that a middle number works well for me too.

I set mine to I think 6 or 7 most of the time. With Feather blades.
