Windrose RA2 slant?

I have a few of their handles and got the slant head a while back. It's OK but tolerances are not great and the shave is not particularly refined.

I reviewed the Windrose slant heads last year in the Tilted Picnic. They are bulky and heavy and I would say a bit aggressive and not the most comfortable shave.

Instead of their tilted slant, I would recommend looking for an iKon Shavecraft 102. They're no longer made, but still out there if you kick over enough rocks. Very nice tilted slant.

Instead of their helical slant, I recommend the PAA Monster series. They both claim to be "influenced" by the Fasan Double Slant, but as someone who has used both of them and also owns both a Fasan Double Slant and a Merkur "Super Slant" I can say the PAA is closer to the Fasan though it's still not that close.

Straight up: I didn't like the Windrose heads. You might. One way to find out.

O.H.
