Yes, the slant is an aggressive but fantastic razor. I'm guessing that it did a great job on flatter parts of your face (cheeks), but when it came to your neck you weren't using a consistant angle along the contours, which means the blade was too steep at times. It takes practice, but try to keep the angle consistant at all times and you'll be getting great shaves from the slant every time.

The slant is very good razor...I generally keep her for when there's a lot of growth...make no mistake it's a dangerous rig though. I myself couldn't use the slant for everyday use...just not as enjoyable as my Ikon OSS.
