Question for you Slant owners?
Do you use your Slant exclusively or is it part of your rotation?
If so why?

Almost Exclusively...
I have two slants, the HD and Barber Pole. They get the brunt of the shaving duties. I will also rotate in a Futur and a 12C.
I will also try some Gillettes, like the Vampire Diplomat to compare the shaves.
So far, the Slant is still king!
Vampire Diplomat?
I've got a barber pole slant, a vintage Merkur slant, and there's a Pomco slant on the way right now. I've also got a WWII German bakelite slant that is not usable due to a series of chips along the end cap. I still use all of my other DE and SE razors too though.
It's in my rotation. I use it on days that I have very thick stubble (i.e. my day off), or when I feel like changing it up. I've got about 8 razors, but only 6 are in the rotation right now...
Rotation. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
So do you use your Slant as a two-day beard shaver only and not as a daily?
The reason I ask is the Slant may be to aggressive for my skin as a daily razor but may be a great heavy beard day shaver.
Still I'm keeping an open mind about the Slant as I be trying it later this week with Feathers blades for the first time.
Sooo, you are the lucky one! I was watching it, but it slipped my mind and I didn't remember it until after it ended. I have been watching for them and I think that you got the best price that I have seen in a while. Of course you would have paid a little more, if I had not forgotten! Be sure and let us know how it shaves for you. Still undecided between a vintage and a new one. Your thoughts on the subject?
