Ok, the title is an exaggeration. My first slant razor was a vintage Merkur, and I wasn't impressed. I prefer slick-looking vintage razors with a bite, and too many of the German slants seemed to have plating issues, and worse, were kinda on the mild side.
My second experience with a slant is the Gratiot Krect razor that has quickly become the star of my rotation. I don't expect anything outside of a straight to match it.
Then I see Maggard offers a slant that's pedigree and the twisty appearance harkens to razors of the Weimer Republic; all for the price of a buritto and a couple of beers (Bay Area Currency). As a good minimalist I've been trying to cull the herd of DE's, but this has put me to the test.
I'm going to pull the trigger tonight, but in the meantime, I'd love to hear of other member's experience with this shaver.
