Thanks BigD.

Chiseled Face Natural Pre-Shave Gel
ATT Calypso S1 Slant / Astra‌ ‌Superior Platinum
WCS Two-Tone Tall 26mm Synthetic BOSS Knot
Chiseled Face Sherlock Shaving Soap
Chiseled Face Sherlock Aftershave Splash
On its first outing, the ATT aluminum slant felt a bit more aggressive than my Fine aluminum slant. I also detected some drag compared to the Fine slant, which is polished. Fortunately the West Coast brush and Chiseled Face Sherlock soap produced a good slick lather, so the end result was a two-pass BBS (WTG and ATG). But I still need a few more shaves with the ATT to really get it dialed in.​

 

Odd. I have the SS S1/2 and I didn't find it draggy or aggressive at all. Do you think this being made from aluminum changes the shave a bit? I don't have the Fine Slant. Maybe that one is really mild?

 

I'm only guessing that that the anodized aluminum surface nay cause more drag than the brushed ss. But I don't have the ss versions. so I can't compare aggressiveness. I d0 know the Fine slant is definitely milder than my iKon B1 slant and RR Wunderbar.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting.

awesome Jim,cool razor..

 

Thanks Gary.

 

That looks like a very nice and efficient shave.

 

Thanks Big D. IMHO the ikon is the second most efficient slant, with the RazoRock Wunderbar being the most efficient.

 

Thanks for the information. I might want to look into that.
