slant

I was looking up some history about slant razors and found something interesting on a German shaving forum. I had never really thought about this but it makes sense so I thought why not share it here. A slant razor or ‘Schrägschnitt’ in German, is nothing more than a razor with a tilted head. A...

So, as COVID-19 keeps me sheltering in the wonders of my own home, I get to wondering: do I want a new DE razor. I was looking at a butterfly opener, but they are apparently a bit tricky to get under the nose (but I've never tried). Which puts me off, as that's always my trouble area. So then...

Hi all, I've recently gotten into DE Shaving. I started with a Rimei 2003 and a Yingjili Tech. The Rimei gave a smooth finish but was a little rough during the process. The tech was a lot milder but found it difficult to get BBS. I decided to buy a Merkur 37c because I figured I would...

Just finished the 6th shave with my last Merkur blade. There's a strange consensus amongst many shavers that it's a inferior or even a crappy blade. I wonder if they ever even tried it or are they merely contributing to the echo room I find the Merkur blade sharp and smooth. It provided a very...

Hi guys, I am after some advice, I have decided it's time for me to try a slant razor but I'm not sure which one to get and where to get it from. I don't want to spend too much, up to £30 say and I have quite a tough beard so I'd be leaning toward aggressive rather than mild. What do you...

The Iron Law of Shaving: Nothing in shaving works for everyone. It seems evident that's because we ourselves vary so much. ("The fault ... is not in our stars, but in ourselves.") Take razor blades, for example. Any given brand will work very well for some and very poorly for others. (That, of...

As a big fan of slant razors (and pretty much anything else, but that's another story), and forever searching for that elusive "best", I thought I'd get one of these. The head is, like the 102, a matt aluminium casting, and looks clean and precise. Oddly, my other Shavecraft aluminium heads...

In general, I have never assigned much importance to blades. Sure there are minor differences, but apart from Feathers, they all perform approximately the same for me. Until recently. I've had a good experience with Polsilver SIs, so with shaving.ie selling some old-stock brown box Polsilver...
