Fifth shave - Heritage Gibbs adjustment nut set at 4 1/2.
This one was total surprise. The razor was actually milder than at the lower settings I've used. I want to say the blade was bad but I did get a full BBS finish on the face except for under the chin which was subpar at best. I checked the adjustment and it was working correctly so the question becomes is it a cap orientation problem or some thing else if this is not performing as intended. With that said I plan to pivot over the OG Gibbs for the next 2 shaves to test it at this setting and switching out the springs then I'll do the final shaves on the Heritage with a new blade.
