What is slant razor?
[Updated 3 May 2016] A slant-bar razor (“slant” for short) is a double-edged (DE) safety razor whose blade is mounted to strike the stubble at a slant, since a slanted blade cuts more easily than a straight-on chop—thus the slanted blade of the guillotine and of many mandolines, such as the Swissmar Borner V-Slicer.
Who built Merkur?
Paul West was exactly the kind of customer Ford had in mind when it launched the Merkur brand. An electrical engineer with a preference for European cars and modern design, West passed over an Audi coupe and bought a 1989 Merkur XR4Ti, a car with a German pedigree and a practically unpronounceable name.
Are slant razors better?
The advantage of a slanted blade angle is that it cuts more precisely than a straight on motion that most other razor designs employ. Since slant razors cut beard growth more efficiently, they are great for those with thicker and more coarse hair.
Do safety razors cut more?
Multi-blade razors are more likely to cut, irritate, or cause ingrown hairs than a single razor blade would because each blade is essentially cutting lower than the blade before it. Safety Razors cut the hair at the skin level, resulting in less irritation and a smoother shave.
How much is a Merkur worth?
A: The average price of a Merkur XR4Ti is $9,043.
What does XR4Ti mean?

What is the difference between open comb and closed comb safety razors?
Designed with distinctive ”teeth” the open comb razor head, unlike the closed comb, has no straight bar left to touch the shaver’s face leaving more blade exposed the ideal set up for the ultimate close shave.
What happened Merkur?
Ford dropped the `Merkur’ name in 1988, and began to refer to their two European imports by their model names only. Sales dropped off very rapidly after 1986, so that in its last year fewer than 3,000 XR4Tis were sold. 1989 was the last year for the XR4Ti.
