    Multiple OPTIONS - Please select using the DROP DOWN Menu!

    **NOTE: YOU ARE PURCHASING ONLY THE SUPERSLANT BASE PLATE.  YOU WILL ONLY RECEIVE THE BASE PLATE THEREFORE YOU NEED TO ALREADY OWN A SUPERSLANT TOP CAP.**

    OPTIONS: Listed from MILDEST to MOST AGGRESSIVE

    1.  L1++OC (More aggressive than L1, L1+ and L1++ CLICK HERE to view)
    2.  L2++OC (More aggressive than L2, L2+ and L2++ CLICK HERE to view)
    3.  L3++OC (More aggressive than L3, L3+ and L3++ CLICK HERE to view)

    The RazoRock Superslant will have three core levels of aggression, from L1(MILD) to L3(AGGRESSIVE), but within these core levels there are 4 unique base plates including 1 OC (open comb) to dial in the shave even further. Each and every base plate will be perfectly compatible with one universal top cap meaning you can change the way the Superslant shaves simply by swapping base plates.

    Please keep in mind that within each level, the addition of a PLUS sign increases the aggression.  (Example: Level 1 which would be the mildest group available - L1, L1+, L1++,L1++OC...L1 would be the mildest and L1++OC would be the most aggressive in this grouping)

    The RazoRock Superslant is a razor that has been two years in the making. Ever since our first slant, the RazoRock Stealth, we knew the slant concept was something special. Client feedback overwhelming told us that people loved the shave from our slant razors and it quickly became no secret that a helical slant’s added torque on the long axis of a double-edge blade adds stiffness and rigidity to the cutting edge. Why is this important? When you take a very thin very sharp blade and make it really stiff it cuts with greater efficiency, this translates to less tugging on the hairs and less irritation while shaving. Add this to the fact the blade is held at an angle to the shaving plane giving a slicing action to the shave versus a tradition shaving razor that applies more of a chopping action. The combination of these two attributes lead to a superior shave!

    So, if the helical slant concept works then what is the purpose of a “new helical slant,” namely the RazoRock Superslant? Based on a lot of feedback we received from our first two CNC milled slants, the RazoRock Stealth and the RazoRock Wunderbar, we discovered two areas that needed improving. Many of our clients told us the RazoRock Stealth wasn’t aggressive enough and the RazoRock Wunderbar was too aggressive. This told us we needed a helical slant razor with adjustability. A robust design that could offer many difference blade gaps and exposures to suit different beard and skin types.

    The second problem we discovered is that when you torque a double-edge blade into a helix shape you create a minor amount of blade-edge wave that is hard to see with the naked eye. This minor blade-edge wave can cause the razor to “bite” if you apply too much pressure to the skin while shaving. In order to solve this issue, we had to design a very unique razor head that can torque a double-edge blade into a helical shape without any effect on the cutting edge. This required a shape with precision clamping and tolerances that could only be achieved using a very complex and expensive German CNC machine under the watchful eye of a Master Machinist. What we created was the world’s first billet 316L stainless steel helical slant that is 5-axis simultaneous-milled. That’s a mouthful but if you buy a RazoRock Superslant you will be shaving with a safety that we believe is the most sophisticated razor to ever enter the traditional wet shaving world; ultimately, you will be the judge of that.

    Material: 316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel

    Finish: 3 stage, 24 hour, machine vibratory finish. It's important to note that our finish is designed to de-burr and make the pieces smooth with minimum effect on machining tolerances. It's a tool-like finish and not a mirror-type high polish; each piece is unique (no two pieces will be identical). We don't believe in hand polishing our machined safety razors because it's self-defeating. We spend so much time and effort getting the tolerances tight, a hand polish will just ruin these tolerances. We would rather give you a quality tool-like finish at a great price and leave it up to you if you want to put a jewelry type polish or gun-kote at the razor later at additional cost.

    Other Details: Each razor is engraved with a unique serial number.

    PROUDLY MADE IN ONTARIO, CANADA

    NOTE: Differences between the different Levels

    The "+" plates have a milled chamfer on the guard that creates extra aggression

    The "++" plates have a milled step on the guard that creates a little more aggression from the "+"

    The OC (OPEN COMB) plates are slightly more aggressive than the "++" versions of each

    As a general guide, the L1 plates will fall into the mild-medium area, the L2 plates into the medium-aggressive and the L3 plates into the aggressive with the L3++ & L3++OC being at the very top of the scale. In the near future we will add the SuperSlant to the razor scale on IB.

    Based on our testing, the L2++ and the L3 would be the closest to the Wunderbar in terms of aggression but the Superslant is much smoother.

    Phenomenally smooth and efficient shaver!

    My previous favorite RazoRock razor was the Game Changer JAWS 84 but with this open comb slant design this Superslant L3++OC razor is now my most efficient razor. How it manages to remain such a smooth razor is a testament to its design. The hair on the sides of my neck grow very close to the skin and lie almost parallel to the skin so I've had great success with open comb and slant razors in cutting this stubble down with little to no irritation. With the RazoRock Superslant with the L3++OC base plate I now have the best of both worlds. While this base plate has some blade feel it is not as aggressive as one might think. It is a phenomenally smooth razor and I never felt like it would "bite". It is a great design!

    Exactly what I wanted. Did not disappoint.

    I wanted a stainless steel slanted razor. I favor open comb razors in general. I also like using the most efficient razors I can find. I figured I would just go for it and get the LC3++OC. While I would caution anyone new to double edge razors or even just new to slants, it has given me no problems. The extreme slant of the razor's head helps you naturally find the right angle, which is slightly different than other slants I have used. I was curious if it could be used as a daily shaver, as I have sensitive skin, and turns out I can. This is probably because I can get away with a 1 pass shave with this razor. When I take it a step further and shave another pass, across the grain or against the grain, I get one of the smoothest shaves I have ever had with just 2 passes. Those who like the hear or feel feedback from the blade may not like this head because, like other slants, has it just cleanly and soundlessly slices the hair off your face. My other razors are getting jealous as they gather dust.

    I got the LC3++OC base to make the LC1++OC razor I got more aggressive with the hopes of doing one pass shaves because I have sensitive skin. This thing is awesome. I do one pass with the grain and I get closer than 2-3 passes with other DE razors I have. I use this with a feather blade and I get excellent results and my face is happy. Thank you!!

    Highly Efficient!

    I have used it for the third time and WOW! This one isn't for the faint of heart or the beginner. Using it takes as much attention to what I am doing as if I am straight razor shaving. So highly efficient that I can do a one pass BBS with little to no touchup if I don't wait more that 2 days between shaves. Prep before shave is essential for this creature to work properly, efficiently and safely. Exceptional quality and a joy to use. I would definitely recommend this to those who want to step up their DE shaving. Actually I would challenge others to see how well it can work for you with a little practice and attention. Surely one of my favorite DE experiences.
