Slant DE Blades

Wouldn't it be nice if a razor blade manufacturer came out with a slanted blade so it would basically make any DE a slanted razor:thumbup1:

Wouldn't the blade be either over exposed or under?:confused1 Maybe I'm missing something...
 
Been trying to wrap my mind around this. I don't think it would be possible.

Well, the blade would probably have to be pre-curved, or at least cut on some sort of diagonal. Sounds like it would be difficult to manufacture and grind, or at least would be too complicated to be worth it. Interesting idea tho.

Uneven exposure would be an issue too, I would think.

+1 to this. Since the head of the slant is what makes it a slant, this idea, I'm sorry to say, is not possible.

True. The Slant razor induces a radial twist to the blade, which then provides more of a shearing action of the blade to the whisker. The radial twist is a result of the geometry of the head of the slant razor, not the blade.

Yeah....I read this thread before lunch, then had a couple of pints, and I'm sad to say that it doesn't seem any more sensible with a bit of a buzz on.

Get a slant.
