I have used the Personna red blades in other razors with good results, Feathers are sharpest blades but longevity not a good as other blades.
The slope is a forgiving design slant and a Feather might work well if you have a tuck of them to test. The Personna labs are very sharp also according to other folks but can be pricey for 100pcs like the Kai SS blades .
What is wrong with Kai SS extra wide blades you do not want use for some reason? I will always have a tuck or 2 of them for my shaving needs.

Soap : Martin De Candre original sample, mild scented soap with excellent lather qualities! First use of this soap.

How is this thing compared to a super slant?
Sorry, meant the razorock lol
FWIW, the Yaqi is milder in terms of blade feel than the SuperSlant L2 SB.

Good to know that. I really enjoy this Slope slant 316 SS razor head, I should use it more often but I have some other razors I enjoy just as much.
I can't comment on it vs a RR Super Slant, but the Slope feels more like a regular DE than my Merkur 37 slant.
