OK, follow up to my last thread, got my new slant a couple of days ago and got burn on my first outing, followed advice on here and had a great second shave, no burn at all,i replaced the feather with a derby and was a lot more careful with alignment and angle. I think this could quickly become a favourite.
slant, feel NO burn.

Good to hear. I got the opposite with burn on my second day and none on my first. I'm using a feather right now, but I should revisit some blades I didn't like in my Merkur Classic.
...still debating slant vs. open comb. I was surprised to see there were more open comb votes in the poll i posted; certainly made me think more carefully about which to try next.
Congrats on the success.
I find the open comb to be better than the slant, at least for me it was.
You'll probably end up trying both however, so have fun with them.
It's an excellent razor that will give you great shaves. Just make sure you align the blade and give it a little respect as it isn't tolerate of sloppy technique.
I pidy duh foo' dat doesn't give the slant 'spect!
