Closed Passaround : Neo Gam slant DE COMPLETE

[Whosthedaddy]

Anyone fancy a shave with this oddity?

Its a 45 degree slant from the 1940s Germany with the head sliding onto the handle as opposed to being screwed tight.

Believe it or not, its a doddle to shave with as long as you dont try and constantly straighten the head up.

Its a mild, gentle feeling head that's smooth and not at all aggressive. The audible feedback soon gives the thumbs up for the correct angles, the normal 30 odd degress like most DE's.

Normal rules apply for the passaround.

Why not!
Count me in for that unusual looking device!

Cheers WTD.

That's what I like to see, curiosity.

I'm quite smitten with this razor and could have been made for some of my passes or strokes.

@rowlers, managed to get over the mind bending complexities of this extreme slant yet?

Just remember to keep the handle in the normal alignment and dont worry about the head and its not as hard as it looks.

 

[rowlers]

Erm not yet!
Will have another go tonight though.
Come on chaps jump in and have a go!

 

[rowlers]

no one else want to try this? You really should as it is such a smooooove shaver...

 

[Whosthedaddy]

Smooth, sums it up from my use.

Wonder what it'd be like as a normal DE as opposed to a slant?

If no further takers over the weekend, I'll call it complete till next time.

 

[rowlers]

Cool.
I'll get it sent back to you if no one else steps up.

Oh go on then. I'm in. Although my own razors will think I've grown a beard as they see no action because of all the pass arounds... I should be able to fit in between the Pils and the Wolfman. And the R41. This razor just looks too extreme to leave it alone...

The razor has arrived. Interesting beast. I'll report back later.

Remember remember remember to keep the handle as you would and forget the angle of the head.

Angle? What angle? Ahhh... that angle. Forgot about it already.

Out of curiosity: did you buy the razor solo or with box and instructions?
Any blades to try or avoid?
