I received, and had my first shave, with my new Fine Slant today.
Wow! Fabulous!
FOR THE DE RAZOR GEEKS (if that ain’t you, I’d stop reading here)
Out came the scales and calipers…
Assembled and loaded
End view showing blade
SO HOW DOES IT PERFORM?
Brush: Semogue 22/49 Targa-C3 Finest Mistura
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: Fine Aluminum Slant
Blade: Feather (3)
ASL: Proraso Red
Well, I thought the FOCS (Fatip Open Comb Slant) was at the top of the tree, but not now. This baby is AMAZING!
It’s more aggressive than the FOCS, but oh so smooth.
It’s as if this razor was made just for me. Here’s a few random things I like about it:

It’s as if this razor was made just for me. Here’s a few random things I like about it:
- CNC machined aluminum construction. So everything (blades included) fit perfectly.
- Light weight ensures my technique is up to scratch. Any hopping immediately tells me to adjust pressure appropriately. (Mind you, at 32g it’s twice the weight of my (16g) PBOCS (Phoenix Bakelite Open Comb Slant.)
- The blade tabs are not covered. So I can handle the blades safely (by the tabs).
- At 73mm, the handle sits nicely in the middle of my 70mm to 75 mm preferred handle length range (for comfort and maneuverability).
- The knurling on the “grip” section of the handle is brilliant (no alumed fingers needed here).
- The razor can be stood on end due to the flat bottomed handle.
- The over-all look (and shine) turns me on.
- It shaves like a dream!
- There’s more… but I’ll stop now.
