Witch Hazel
TOBS Bay Rum
T&H Sandalwood balm

First time with a slant and I'm impressed. Only had about 26 hours growth so I'd only ever get a DFS. Effective is the word I'd use. It was neither mild or aggressive, just somewhere in the middle. It did exactly what I'd asked it to do. Interested to see what it does with a few days growth.

One Pass - WTG

Blow me down! I don't think there's a more aggressive double edge razor out there! This Canziani makes the Muhle R41 (yes, sneer and ask if I've tried the old head) feel like a luxury mower. Bloody hell! It's aggressive ...

With a yawning blade gap it's more like a blade on a stick. Very careful, very gentle and the lightest of touches. I got one nick where I pushed my luck. It bit, I paid attention and it didn't happen again.

With such a great shave from my Wilkinson Sword Pall Mall last night I needed no more than a single pass - a combination of a great previous shave and the sheer efficiency of this razor.

I think only this could pip it for aggression ...
