Does anyone have any tips for using a Slant Bar?
I have been using a Merkur Progress (setting around 4) with Feather blades.
The Slant Bar's first shave (using Taylor's Avocado and a Feather blade) after three passes, was not as close as the Progress after three passes. In particular the Slant Bar did not remove thick coarse beard growth as well as the Progress.
Subsequent passes with the Slant Bar didn't seem to reduce the beard noticeable amounts. I actually found the razor to be rather tame.
All this has me wondering if the Slant Bar works best at a certain angle, etc.
Thanks,
Chris
