Yeah, those look really good content-wise... in particular, I looked at this one: [MEDIA] @mantic, in that video your angle of course varies...
So, found some interesting stuff googling for razor angles online... including the source of the image below, from this page. This is obviously a...

I think the Maggard Slant head is a great value @$20. Only issue is needing to take a few seconds to align the blade sometimes. Sent from my...
I totally agree with you there. I don't know... this is not my understanding of razor aggressiveness at all. I don't think the angle you want...
Is that an offer? :) That's a good data point. If accurate, then there's probably no point in acquiring a regular Super Speed (@Bookworm),...
@RetLEO-07 -- Are you using a 30°-ish angle, riding the cap, or something in-between? My Black Beauty seems to engage at a reeeally flat angle,...
Ah... but you're presuming I *have* a Super Speed... which I do not. (grin) My logic went the other way around... figured if I was going to try...

Yeah, see, this is what I was thinking, exactly... that riding the cap on this razor would nullify the adjustability. Ok... I'll try an angle with...
After starting out with Maggard v3 and Maggard Slant heads, I've been having a good time trying out my small-but-growing collection of vintage...
So... I think I'm comfortable with believing my 1918 vest razor isn't a frankenrazor, after all! ( @John Ruschmeyer / @Bookworm ) Reasoning is...
Thanks for the offer! I've sent you a PM. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
LOL... unfortunately, that's a great idea. (sigh) Starting to grasp how so many of you wound up with such a large collection... Sent from my...
I appreciate the info. FWIW, there's no visible lettering on the handle that came with my razor. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
