I didn't join a GRUME thread but I've suspended my razor purchases for a while. I now have a top 5 that I love since I added the Green Cult 2.0 Level 2, with a few more in the queue to try.Haven't tried going super steep with the Slim. I do prefer a neutral to steeper angle vs shallow with all my razors. I guess I've gotten the Slim angle down, because that sucker is smooth...even the OC which I'm typically not a fan of.
I've had a Wunderbar and sold it. It was a bit too much for daily shaving. I keep trying new razors just to find out the razors I already have shave better.....hoping to curb the razor acquisition this coming year as I've joined the 2023 purchase sabbatical...fingers crossed.
For me the Blackbird, Yates H, Ti Slim OC, Overlander, 48 Aristocrat, Vector, and X1 razors sit at the top of my razor heap. The Rocca R94, Henson Ti22 ++, EJ 3one6, Tatara Masamune/Nodachi all get some love every now and again as well. I feel like I've hit my pinnacle of great razors (without getting into the super luxury brands) and should just stop buying them.
Thanks for the Slim info and happy holidays to you as well.
In no particular order:
Blutt BR-1 1.20
Rocnel Elite
Lambda Athena
ATT X1 AC Slant
Green Cult 2.0 Level 2
