Have you put yourself down for the Merkur Slant pass around on the buy sell trade forum?
People say the slant is only for the experienced. However it's giving me the most irritation-free shaves ever and I'm no expert. Two things to note:
1) it likes sharp blades. A feather or derby would be ideal, although the derby will only be good for 2 shaves. Once a blade gets dull, a slant will start to bite you
2) take it slow and vey gentle. Apply NO pressure, let the razor rest on your (lathered) skin and start gliding it down your face. You'll be amazed at how easily it cuts the stubble.
Put your name down and give it a try!
