I have been shaving with a DE for many years. I have a number of razors and like the slants the best. I currently have an ATT S1 razor with an additional S2 plate, a Merkur, and a vintage Hoffritz - all slants - including a number of other razors.
I prefer badger knots in larger sizes (24 mm and up) and usually face lather.
