I tried out a Slant today for the 1st time, after using closed comb DE's for about a year and a half now. I have to say that it was ok.
The 1st noticeable difference was that there was less effort required on each stroke than there was before. I think I used a little too much pressure as I was used to using regular DE's, because the weepers came out, and I rarely get any.
I think I just need to work on my technique with the Slant a little more and maybe my results will match those of a closed comb DE.
Just my 2 cents regarding Slants.
