Razor: Superslant L3++OC

Blade: Perma Sharp

Soap: Tabac

Brush: Omega 49

Post shave: Tabac splash & EdC

First shave with the Superslant L3++OC that arrived yesterday. 

First thing I've noticed is the crazy amount of torque the razor has. The blade is clamped to perfection, there are no alignment issues and no tabs sticking out from the sides. Loading and taking the blade out requires attention to not accidentally touch the edge and cut yourself and/or impact the sharpness. 

I have also noticed a pretty big dragging sensation on the skin when making passes with the razor. I am not sure if it's because of the finish, or because the top cap is torqued this much, but it definitely feels unnatural. Can cause you to add excess pressure which will lead to cuts 100%. This bad boy slices through everything with absolute ease, and it will make an example out of you if you do not give it proper respect. 

As for the shave, it took down every single hair on my face where I properly went ATG. I say properly because I was hesitant on some spots, this thing actually scares me to go against the grain, more than a shavette even. For being OC and this efficient, it is rather smooth. One thing to note about using this razor is that you must have a super slick lather on your face, it needs that slick surface to glide on, or you will not have a good time. Got a good weeper on my right cheek and a shitload of irritation on the lower left side of my neck. 

Overall, I like it, but the dragging sensation on the skin really kills any chance of it overtaking my favorite razor, the German 37 Slant, which is also from Razorock.
