WOW. First time using a Slant
I can see why they call it top aggressive , it certainly is
2 days growth and a 2 pass shave With and Against Grain. took a lot of care and was rewarded with an amazing close shave
Could have gone xtg but didnt feel the need .
I would say it is a step up from the Muhle R41 in terms of Aggressivness.

Simply two pass (WTG, XTG) for Sunday.
Enjoy your shave today!
They told you accurately. Very similar but maybe with the slightest menthaleted touch added. Very nice
My S.O.T.D today consisted of......
Prep Folk Soap Bay Rum hand soap.
Brush Goodfellas Smile Wild hog.
Soap Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Razor Blackland BrassBird.
Blade Willy's.
Aftershave Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Today's shave was with the Blackland BrassBird paired with a Willy's blade.
There will be no surprises that I got a superb two pass shave leaving me smoother than a babies bum.
The Folk Soap Bay Rum was another winner providing a lovely scented shave, rich creamy lather and finishing off a splash of the Aftershave to make my skin feel and smell delightful.
a solid 9.5/10 shave.
I will now leave you all to enjoy your day toodles.

Razor: Goodfellas' Smile - Bayonetta
Blade: 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum. DAY # TWO USEAGE.
Bowl: N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel
Still using my Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta today this Razor is a Rock Star. Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a Almost NEW FRESH - 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum, some Blade feel but just feedback, Shave went as easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp, and, Efficient. Today was DAY # TWO for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. Blade sent message, aka feedback it was working good today, it was loud talking, and clear.
Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.999 +. Results were Darn Good because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, reaped rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not & never will chase BBS, do but still got great Shave. This is an Ultra Heavy Weight Razor at 3.49 Ounces, Handle is nice & long so it like having baseball bat in hand. Last observation about the Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta Razor is it Clamp Down Blade so there is NO Blade Movement or Blade Chatter this is a flipping excellent shaving tool. Would call the Goodfellas' Smile - Bayonetta, El-Cheapo CNC BEST BUY at under $60.00.
