Fumbling about.
It's...
During the month of Slantember, which follows August and comes before October, shaving with slants has become somewhat of a tradition for some of us. The first Slantember was in 2018. Last year's Slantember hosted by Fred @Flintstone65 almost but not quite escaped me as I was shaving with straight razors. Fred and I have agreed to co-host this year's event.
Most of my slants only have one head but you can use one like this ^ if you have it. All slants are welcome.
I'm hoping Slantember will be an excuse for many gentlemen to learn the beauty of shaving with slants.
I will use my slants a lot in Slantember but I might use another DE or an injector or an AC razor or a straight on Sundays if I feel like it. Otherwise I'll shave only with my slants. You can shave with slants as much or as little as you like during Slantember. The rules are flexible. Slantember encourages slants over other razors else but it's not a Fixed Four. You won't be kicked out for any reason.
Everything else - blades, soaps, brushes, splashes, etc. - is up for grabs. This is not a Fixed Four although you're free to make it one if you want.
How many slants do you need to participate?
One slant is plenty, but use as many slants as you want. I have a few slants, but I might use the FOCS every day because I like it so much.
Any and all slants are welcome. If you order a slant today and use it sometime during Slantember that counts big time. Everybody wins with a slant.
You are invited to join the Slantember party. You can pop in for a day or a week or the whole month. Post photos or shave reports if you want to. It's all just for fun. We might learn something too.
Happy shaves,
Jim
