The Gibbs Regable from Heritagecollectionshaving.

The Gibbs Replica showed up today.
   Mine was on the N setup too.
 I was monkeying around with this silly thing a couple of ways and it appears to be starting on  6-1-2-3-4-5-6-1 it's off and a 8 speed. I've spun the adjuster  bottom plate 180 degrees it starts on 
6-1-2-3-4-5-6-1  or N depending on the base plate orientation.
  If I fip the dial ring upside down it's the same thing either starting on N or the ole 6-1-2-3-4-5-6-1 routine.

Yours needs a hard reboot.

If I have as much trouble assembling mine correctly, it will get PIFd before it ever gets used.

You should try it. It is a pretty good razor. I used it #9 for 5 days growth, it is super efficient and easy to use.

I will give it a go. Hopefully it lends itself to a steep angle.

I will watch the videos and try to figure out how to assemble it properly.

I notice now I ordered the XL brass version with the long handle. Makes me a little more excited to get it. Hopefully, the length and material will add some heft.

Mine arrived. Having watched Dave's video, I understand how to get it off of N as a stop (as it shipped) and to 6 as stop. No big deal, at all.

I am certainly glad I got the all brass XL (99mm-ish overall handle) as it balances just above the top of the knurling on the handle. A short brass handle or plastic or aluminum would make the razor too head heavy for my tastes. I seem to have confirmed one of the reasons I've shunned to original.

I could do without the vertical knurling. To me, when held at shaving ready position, even dry it is a little slippery. It will slide thru my fingers toward the floor. It is certainly not going to twist in my grip as the knurling works great on the axis. Fortunately, my primary grip won't be on the barrel. Just under the turret and resting on the side of my pinky will keep it locked in place. A trivial gripe I am all too happy to overlook in the Heritage.

I like that I can see the numbers with no glasses....something I struggle with on every Sailor I own. A trivial gripe I am all too happy to overlook in the Rocnel.

The finish is great. I do have a perfect circle demple in the knurling just above the mid point toward the head. Assembled with N as the low stop, the dimple aligns perfectly with the 6...or 180d from the N. Is this an assembly aid?

Watcha reckon the adjustment plate is made of? It is matte finished and obviously not chrome plated brass. It seems like there would be a mark on this plate to aid correct assembly.

Overall it is pretty impressive. I will get around to using it in the next few days.

Looks like they have fixed the dial issues on their remaining stock, and an all brass version will be coming out

The shim plate is made of aluminum. That is why it is matte. 
#6 is medium aggressive. Original Gibbs is like that too. 
If you wanna clean a week growth fast, it is better to release the brass handle slightly and set the dial #9.

OK...so it can be overclocked? Now that you mention it, since monkeying with it some yesterday, Mine now does 1.5 rotations, from N past N to 6. I think I am going to try it there as the gap looks pretty substantial.

LOOT it does look like a pretty good Gap all opened up, not bad though.

You can run it higher than the 6, but you start to lose the stability of the baseplate. That spring just isn't stout enough to prevent the baseplate from wobbling when you really open it up. It might fare better with the Rex spring. I haven't had a chance to try that yet.

 Maybe on yours but mine is firm with absolutely no wobble up to the ending highest gap of 8.

Yeah, my experience is with the tester model. I haven't gotten my production version yet.

Maybe they worked on that situation  then, we hope so.
