That razor is defiantly crazy looking
Thanks Mike. My thinking exactly on slants. Congrats again on 1,000. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Congratulations on 1K. Thats a crazy looking razor. Ive never tried a slant but heard good things about them. Subie Shaves had a good shave with this razor, i don't remember the blade he used. Have a great week
Congratulations Mike
Mike if you decide to send that razor down the road, I know a guy!
Haha you know a guy? I will most definitely let you know.
Very nice Shave Mike !!!!!!!!
Hey Mike! Another solid video, but I think Iâll continue to avoid the slant razors given my experiences with the Parker semi-slant. Hey, I really appreciate your responses to my comments over the past few days. About the bladeâĶ.are they still being manufactured in the St. Petersburg Russia facility or has that changed due to the conflict with Ukraine?
Honestly, I had picked them up when I knew they were being made and distributed still out of Russia so itâs an old manufactured blade so Iâm not sure if they officially changed by now. I think I may ask Jason from The Razor Company he may know.
Thank you for this nice review and comparison.
I own a couple of razors that include the karve razors, blackbird, kopparkant+, Apex+ and the yaqi Ultima slant. I love all of them equally and for me slants are amazing for smoothness and being delicate on the skin while still being efficient.
Yea thatâs what I found smooth yet pretty efficient
Great video and congratulations on 1000 subs. The listed gaps are some wild numbers. My slant of choice is the Rex Konsul. I use it in the 2-3 range depending on days of growth. Anything past 3 is too much for my taste. Blade choice is critical for some razors. Keep pumping out the great content.
Thank you, have to give that one a try one day
Hey Mike. Excellent shave video. I saw Inspector Dave's review on the Yaqi Torqx and he said it was a mild razor as well, but he didn't have it at the higher settings like you did. I never shaved with a slant, but some wet shavers on the forums have said that slants are not always aggressive. Anyway, I was going to suggest to try the Rex blade at the higher setting than you did when you first used that razor. Lol! You beat me to it, but I am not surprised because great minds think alike. Have a great week.
I did try that Rex again. Yes would think at initial thought that this may possibly be an aggressive shave but it wasnât. Decent shave my I didnât see the benefit of using a slant other then the fact that it looks Cool with the angle an all
Moroccan Fig is an excellent scent, especially for the summer months. I picked up a tub earlier this year and it has never disappointed. It's a great value soap for the price. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for stopping by have a good one.
Congratulations on 1K! Great review of the Torqx!
@@ATexanShaves thanks Barry
Great shave and review Mike. You would think a slant with that severe of an angle would seem aggressive, but that is not the case. I just started using Wizamets more often and they are greatðð
That was my initial thought and yes the Wizamet are great blades
I've never been big on slants. It just makes more sense to have the same gap even across the razor and i like to have control over that gap. Great video and review! Congrats again on 1000 subs you deserve it!
A well made slant will have a uniform blade gap just like a well made straight bar will have a uniform blade gap. The angle of the head is the only difference between the razors.
Nice! I only use a few different blades, Wizamets, Polsilvers, and Nacets. They're all pretty similar for character and it helps me dial in a new razor. It takes me a couple shaves to get used to a razor and get a feel for it. The PAA Monster Series is great and basically a modern materials Fasan. I've used my Fasan bottom plate on any of the Monsters I have and it fits perfect. To me it's an easy going shave, but efficient. I can't wait to pick up a Torqx! Take care!
Great let me know what you think if you pick it up. Definitely seems to lean towards the mild side for me
@@LongIslandShaving Will do! I've heard that from several people now that it feels kind of mild, but unexpectedly efficient. The PAA Monster is that way too. You'd probably like the Icon DLC slant head, It's got some blade feel and it will bite if you're not careful.
Thanks for the review :)
You bet!
wow that blade gap is bananas.
They sure are by not as aggressive as you may think.

You are correct in commenting that each razor will dictate what blade works best in it.
I just had one of my best DE shaves using the REX blade with my R41 razor.
I suggest you give that combo a try âĶ.
Iâm a regional electric bass guitar player here in NE Pennsylvania, and we have an old saying that every electric bass instrument will dictate to you what the best strings are to use with that particular electric guitar. IMHO, same holds true for our DE and SE razors. ðļðŠ
Absolutely, The Rex blade so far has been great on many of my razors. Believe it or not but I donât have a R41
@@LongIslandShavingWow! Oh well, my R41 shave with the REX blade was, as Billy Crystal once put it - âMarvelous!â ðŠð
