For those of you who have used both mass produced, non-artisan grade slants and their more expensive offerings found a difference in shave results?
I.E., iKon X3 vs B1 or Merkur 37c vs. Superslant (L#/+/++) or Above the Tie S1/S2
I have my first slant; a Yaqi OC Slant head and am curious to what extent there is a difference between it and the higher dollar slant options. Yes, I could buy them, but spending $100+ per go is a bit much without having any sort of concrete idea of whether or not spending 1011% or more is worth it
I have no experience with these artisan grade, full CNC razor heads. All of mine are Muhle and Yaqi (OC & OC Slant).
Here's what I've found so far...
The Inexpensive Slant List
iKon X3
Fatip Lo Sorto Gentile, Lo Sorto OC
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Phantom, Filament, Fatasma, Criatura, etc.
Merkur 37C
Razorock German 37
Yaqi OC Slant
The CNC Slant List
Yaqi Slope
iKon B1
Razorock Superslant, Wunderbar
Above the Tie S1, S2 (yes, X1 but isn't a DE head)
