I also received one in the mail today and couldn't wait to use it. The only other slant I have used is the IKon DLC Slant, which has been in heavy rotation in my den for almost two months.
My prep was MR GLO with three days growth. I ended up with a few weepers, as others have stated. They were all in my first pass, the other two went without issue. That said, I am very happy with the shave I received. I suspect after a few more shaves with it I will get used to the weight and have no problems.
It feels great in my hand and I had no problem finding the correct angle. I am unable to find a flaw in the DLC coating and the machine marks are almost unnoticeable. Had it not been mentioned in the description I wouldn't have given it a second thought. The only "issue" is the bottom of the handle isn't perfectly flat. It still stands though, so this is really nitpicky.
Overall, I am very pleased and am looking forward to many more shaves with this razor!
