RazoRock Stealth Slant Explorer Project Part 2

So.......

My SWMBO just used my Stealth Slant and has threatened to steal it unless I get her one for herself.

Oh well, I look at this situation as her verbal approval to load up a shopping cart at IB

Be careful. Twice the number of Stealths in the home means twice the chance that someone will be impregnated shortly.

Just wanted to mention, that (again, as always) I had today a FANTASTIC and PERFECT shave with the RRSS - thank you again Joe!!!

Thank YOU, for helping out.

Feather is the preferred blade for me in this razor,
I also like the Personna Lab and Med as well

I find the safety of this razor coupled with the efficiency of the blade is a perfect combination

Today marks 4 weeks of using the Stealth everyday. This will conclude my official review of this razor. It comes as no surprise that I give this razor 5 out of 4 stars.

8 shaves in since May 13. With some other razors interspersed for comparison.

1) Definitely a smooth shave
2) Angle of attack is key- even with "pressure" there was no irritation.
3) Something about the razor just wants to make you shave fast.
4) Handle design is deceptive = not slippery under any circumstance

A couple of considerations (personal OCD)
A) Size of the head can be distracting
B) Size of the head/design/coating seems to clear the water or slickness on the first pass. Difficult to do touch up without the benefit of more material.

Ultimately this is a good razor. Although there were consistent BBS - there is another razor head (at least for me) that the BBS lasts longer...so I suppose I am splitting hairs!!!

I think the mildness of this razor contributes to the fact that the shave may not last as long as that derived from some razors.

My open combs give me a shave that lasts longer than the Stealth's shaves.

I also have to be much more careful with them.

There is no such thing as one razor that is the best at everything.

But this razor is awful good in a lot of areas. I know of no other razor this mild that is also this efficient.

I thought that after a few great weeks of using the RRSS I would try my R89 Bulldog. Well, it wasn't a bad shave with a new feather blade but I actually missed using the slant. All I can say is that the RRSS has been one hell of a good razor that is above and beyond others. On a side note, the other day I was changing the blade and not once but twice dropped the head of it on the floor. All that happened is a very small chip of the coating came off an edge (the size of a fine point pen dot). I thought for sure it was going to be worse than what happened and it still shaves like the champ it is.

It sounds like a great razor. I'm looking forward to more product reaching the general shaving population. Based on the number of purchasers who posted it's a very small statistical sample. A larger sampling size of posters will help quantify the data

This is certainly a YMMV issue. For me, the shave lasts just as long as any other razor. This razor, while the ease of use may make it seem mild, is extremely efficient.

I didn't intend my observation as a criticism, certainly.

Since I received my Stealth, I have hardly used anything else.

It is a great razor.

Of course sir. I replied because of the off chance that a newbie may be steered away from this razor for fear of a short lasting shave. However, given the overwhelmingly number of positive reviews here that may not have been necessary. Please excuse me.

 

[coonskinner]

No problem.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't unclear.

I am a big fan of this razor.

I don't know if I reported this in the old thread, but I used a Voskhod blade with the slant as the 2nd blade way back - the 2 shaves were not as perfect as the ones I get with PolSilver Blades - as the Voskhod pulled a tad - especially during my fourth (ATG) pass.

Today I revisited the blade (mainly because I liked it so much in my other razors) and boy was in for a surprise. I can't stop touching my face because it's so smooth - guess I had a dud blade last time - so I have to do in depth comparisons over the coming weeks

I traded my Ikon Slant for a Stealth and received it yesterday. This morning was my first shave with it. It almost feels like cheating b/c it's so smooth. I did get a little irritation on my neck b/c I got overly confident and tried to go XTG which is a big no no on my neck. Looking forward to getting to know this razor better but off to a fantastic start!

I started using a Parker SR1 just to try something different. I still use the Razorock Slant to finish off and for days when I'm not ready for the bloodloss using the shavette.

The Razorock Slant is the reason I decided to PIF my Sledgehammer.
