I'm still learning the damage calculations myself, but from what I understand:

The slash modifier against your health is not 50%. Your health is both Ferrite and Flesh, which have a -50% and +25% modifier to incoming damage. These are multiplicative, so in total, Slash attacks only deal 62.5% of their full damage against Tenno health, before calculating in the damage reduction from the Armor stat.

Damage reduction from armor needs to be calculated now. Your armor is only made of Alloy, but not Flesh. You start with 350, but because the incoming damage is, your damage reduction calculation will be based off 350 1.5  525 armor.

The damage you receive will be:

If the Charger is hitting your shields for 146 damage, your Health should be struck for about 52 damage according to wiki information.

I'm not sure where we're going wrong, or where the wiki is wrong. I use this forum post and his next one in the thread as my source of information, as well as User:MarioVX's various formulae that he's written onto the wiki. If you can give things another look-through, maybe we can get to the bottom of this discrepancy.
