^ My pleasure!
I just received the Merkur 37c that is the pass around razor on here. I split face shaved with it an the maggard slant. I believe the 37c wins hands down. Bettor balance, and a closer shave. Three pass and done.Ok, I tried my Maggards Slant today, first slant for me. First thoughts... meh. I will give it a couple of tries but it is just not effective for me. I had to do my final ATG pass with the Variant and there was still a lot of stubble left behind by the slant.
My only slant is the RR one. My only issue is the threads seem REAL easy to strip.
I believe you sir, my experience today was highly disappointing.I just received the Merkur 37c that is the pass around razor on here. I split face shaved with it an the maggard slant. I believe the 37c wins hands down. Bettor balance, and a closer shave. Three pass and done.
Glad to know I'm not alone, lol.I have a RR Slant. I realized that the zamak head coupled with a SS handle calls for disaster. I fear those threads won't last long. I also have the RR Old Type OC, same feeling, I have to reassemble the razor with extreme care at every blade change.

I have both. They look similar, but shave differently. The RR German 37 is the hands down winner. The best bargain in slants at under $20. It's a great razor.I am curious about slants and trying to decide between Merkur 37c and a RR German 37. I don't want to break the bank just in case I don't like the concept. At the same time, I want a quality shaver just in case I stick with it. Any major differences betwen the two? Which one is a better choice? Thanks in advance!
Try the RR German 37 and you'll get an even better shave, I believe.I just received the Merkur 37c that is the pass around razor on here. I split face shaved with it an the maggard slant. I believe the 37c wins hands down. Bettor balance, and a closer shave. Three pass and done.

Agreed. The more I use it the more I like it.I have had a few slants. The best slant, IMHO, is the RazoRock Wunderbar slant.
If you are fairly new, you might want to put away your slant for a while. Not because it will tear up your face, but rather because it is too easy. From what I read, slants can be fairly forgiving of an improper angle due to the angle of the head. If it is too forgiving of angle, it isn't a good learning tool and may make it take longer to learn. On the other hand, from what I read they are very particular if you use too much pressure and then they will tear up your face.
