Okay, now that my "death trap on a handle" is on it's way to @Keto and I found out that @Dave in KY finally got a Wunderbar, I can devote my days to doing nothing important once again. After receiving the non slanted Lutz from @Techichi, I decided to spend last night and tonight comparing both razors. First of all, both razors have differential sides with one side having scallops closer together than the other side. Getting real anal like some of the folks on that other shaving forum that shall remain nameless, I even counted the bumps and they are the same number on the non slant and slant guard.The cap and base plates are the same geometrically, with the only difference being that one is torqued and the other is straight.
In the first two pics, the slant version is the lower razor, and in the last pic, the slant is on the right side.
Although there are no instructions or any markings on the base plate, I found through experience that the side with less bumps on the guard is the more aggressive side.
Last night I started my shave using the non slanted razor. I started WTG using the side with less bumps. After one stroke, I had to look to see if maybe I had picked up the Stirling HA by mistake. There was significant blade feel, and even by adjusting the angle, there was still blade feel. the difference between this razor and the HA was that after the first pass, most of the whiskers were cleared away (and I didn't lose a layer of skin in the process). ATG was done using the side with more bumps and this became a totally different razor (duh). It was a very comfortable shave, but still very efficient. In the ned I just lathered my jaw line and under my chin, and shaved the left side of my face using the more aggressive side, and the right side using the guard with more bumps. I was surprised that with less whiskers, the aggressive side just became very efficient and with almost n blade feel. The Right side of my face just shaved efficiently.
To be honest, this is what I remembered the Lutz slant to be like.
