Slantember (Used to be September) Is For Slants! | Version 3 | 2020

[Tanuki]

Slantember 26 - Torqued by Tom / Gillette Silver Blue

Wanton Destruction cap, GSB on shave 4, Lucky Tiger Mollé 'cold cream' and that's the whole setup. Review - best fast Mollé shave ever. I didn't rinse the blade much, but the TbT cuts really well even while thoroughly coated with the cloggy Mollé cream. No alum feedback at all.

Most ricky tick.

That is all.

@ponykilr may be slightly obsessed, but he's right. Especially at FOCS pricing.

Just had a great Slantember shave, but I can't remember if that head is Maggards or RazoRock. Pretty mild, though. Efficient, though.

Lots of directions to explore. Amazingly enough, if you go down the slant rabbit hole you'll find other rabbit holes that open off that one.

Ball joints. Razors with ball joints in the handle. Sheesh. I think I need to make better friends with a machinist!

O.H.

Slantember 27th, 2020

Rating: 9.5/10
Pre-Shave: Cold water splash - OPR brushless shave soap Bay Rum scent
Soap: Goodfellas' Smile Tallow No. 1
Brush: West Coast Shaving Honeycomb Tuxedo synthetic
Razor: Parker Semi-Slant w/ Blackland Dart handle
Blade: Personna Med Prep (1)
Post-Shave: Cold water splash - Thayers Witch Hazel - Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
AS: Black Ship Grooming Captain Scurvy splash

Very close shave from the Parker Semi-Slant razor. Based upon this morning's shave, I think the Med Prep blade is a good match for that razor. Goodfellows' Smile Tallow No. 1 has an odd scent to it...hard to describe...some sweetness with a mild muskiness? But it lathered well, easily, and provided ample slickness and glide. No blood. Squiggy and Bloop were gone for so long...but when they returned they brought back this fellow. We've named him Ogie. He only whispers on occasion when it's dark...AHHHHH! What's that shadow over there? The window! The window!

Happy shaves, Everyone.

Got the PAA Ecliptic Galactic slant on deck for today's shave.

Not liking that gap, looks like the Grand Canyon. Recall this razor must be respected... Makes .95 look mild.

I am going to see about having one of my Techs slantified by our resident vintage wanton destruction czar...

Isn't the shave on that model meant to be guided by the cap (i.e. cap riding), Mike?

If you're riding the cap it doesn't matter how big the gap is... it won't affect you.

Yeah, it's the "Conehead" -looking one, made of Bakelite.

I'm never conscious of angle, unfortunately. But it is Slantember, so. Gotta try!
