Close two pass non-complementary non-dickhole shave. Pretty good!
I’m still not crazy about slants. It feels a bit to me like overcomplicating something that’s already sufficient and simple enough. I guess the point is blade rigidity? I’m not sure I buy it.
Bias alert: I’m in love with slants.
My neck hair grows straight up and against my skin. Slant razors are particularly good at getting those bastards, comfortably. In my mind, the slicing cut is key. But you know YMMV, etc.
Yeah, they might just not be a good fit for me. They’re certainly very efficient, but I don’t find they provide me with any benefit over my other DE/SE razors.

- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Thiers-Issard 188 7/8 ‘Coq et Renard’ (4)
- Lather: Zingari Man Mousse Illuminée
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

A good Zingari Zischtig, with one of the most sophisticated scents I have. Each time I have the impression that I’m not worthy of it.
Anyways, have a good night!

- Lather: House of Mammoth - Snippid - Puck
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave

Despite buying Snippid when it came out, this is my first time trying it. It is sort of a more complex Petrichor. Really enjoying it so far.
