This review is about the Gillette Super Adjustable 109 image974×262 3.3 KB Introduction First of all I want to thank @Welo who sent me his Gillette for a review.
As always, good review, thanks for sharing it. In my experience, of all the butterflies there are, these are the only ones with which I can say that I shave well and in conditions, and specifically, the Gillette adjustable butterflies, which I do not like.

View commentGood review... I disagree with several personal opinions... and as personal as they are... they always have to be respected. For me, with its grandmother the FAT BOY and its mother the SLIM ADJUSTABLE, they are the basic trio of Gillette adjustable safety razors of the last century.

View commentI agree with everything you say @Desmond and to put things in perspective, I have here a preview of the Hosay Ranking. image569×631 15 KB The Gillette SA109 is the first butterfly on my personal list with a more than reasonable score in comparison.

View commentSometimes it takes me longer to take the photos than to write the paragraph about them. Especially with dark colors it is more difficult to reveal the details of the clippers. The color black swallows the light. I am very glad that the photos are useful and informative. OR
