Anyone use a Slant in conjuction with his method shaves? I am kind of missing my 37C.

Will do, when it arrives. Will get back to you!
I've tried it, but a while ago when I wasn't as good at method shaving. I don't think it's a good idea because the point of method shaving is being able to blade over your face as much as possible. A slant is trying to be efficient; it's trying to reduce the number of passes by being more aggressive. So, I think the standard head of the Merkur is better suited. For what it's worth, once I tried the 38C, I couldn't go back to the 34C.
Still waiting for my slant, would like to hear other peoples opinions. Bump!

I'm actually on board with those saying it's not an ideal match. I ended up selling my 37C, I found my Feather all-stainless and Muehle R106 perfectly suited to Method.
i'll try it then tell you. I hoped it would be quite good!37c and feathers tonight, will report back.
Oh no! You're going to carve your face off! 
Loaded up the Slant with feathers, did a WTG, XTG & ATG. There felt to be a very slight drag but nothing to worry about. I got 1 knick and a couple of weepers and a very smooth face. All in all a good shave.

Glad to see you got good results! And safe ones, more importantly. I definitely felt that the Slant got the job done, just not as well as a standard comb. For me I never really got the full blade on the face, whereas that's obviously not an issue with a Muehle or what have you.
Was a good shave, but my DE89L felt much smoother.
