Here, point the handle base around 7-8 o’clock versus you standing being 6 to 12. With most regular DEs you point the handle straight to Earth or close to it, and maybe even “earlier” than 6 o’clock to get its highest aggression.

As the head is ‘reversed’ in some sense from conventional DEs, however, you use a less steep “handle-to-floor angle” to position that 25°-angled-blade to the skin as the razor’s engineer intend it. The engineered cutting angle of blade to the skin’s just 25°, a tremendously low # among DEs not seen since prior the Cold War and providing that terrific mild affect. The R51 Tritok Flat is certainly a razor unlike any I’ve used in my ~32yrs shaving, remarkable in ability to get close without biting. Someone wanting a little more oomph than this could certainly go for the 53 and be happy, but if they’ve been using/liking other slanted head DEs and use the R53 hoping for similar I doubt think they’ll be happy these need to be compared to themselves due their outrageously low setting. 1x free opinion from many uses concave #52s actually clearly the aggression king (and an aggro model it is indeed!), definitely not the slanted which is actually quite mild & comparable to this flatty #51.

The Focus “Tritok” are their new 3-piece classic style DE razors in either aluminum or stainless steel, with each model Tritok’s head, registry pins, and threaded screw obtained from a single block of aluminum/steel, laser-excavated until reduced to this size.įocus produces 3 head geometries in their new Tritoks, and in their telling this FLAT R51 head’s “for a ‘soft shave'”, the CONCAVE R52 head “…for a little more aggressive shave”, and a SLANTED R53 head “…for a most aggressive shave”. “The Belgian coticule of DEs”, nothing (new) like it on the planet!
