Vintage Merkur Slant

Has anyone else noticed that the vintage Merkur/Hoffritz slant is a bit smoother than the modern version. The vintage slant might have a bit less blade exposure, although I'm not certain. As for the closeness of the shave, they're about equal to me.

Nice to know. I have one on order and can't wait to try it.
