Thread: Above The Tie Slant Review (sort of)

Yes sir. I think they put more attention to those, specially that silver coating on the handle, that's beautiful work.

I have the Above the Tie Slant closed comb and though it's a nice razor it's nothing special. Compared to the Mongoose the overall shave ain't in the same ballpark with the Mongoose.

Well it is a totally different shaving experience, though for me the end result is the same. The mongoose is certainly a great razor, but the ABT slant is no slouch, and I don't have to 'walk on eggs' when I'm shaving with it, as I do with the goose, or the 1st model Muhle 41. YMMV

Yea the Mongoose can be a bit on the touchy side but I don't find it even close to the R41 as far as aggressiveness goes. However my son thinks the world of the ABT so I guess there's something for everyone.

Jimmy,

An excellent review of the ATT slant. Yes, it is a fine razor: smooth, comfortable and efficient. It is also well made. You've made a good choice.

By the way, thanks for the kind words.
