BOOM! Introducing El Fantasma "Naranja", razor 5 in our Open Comb Monster Slant Series! Just in time for Halloween!!!

Yes, it is a slant razor and yes, it is an open comb. But more importantly, It GLOWS Orange-ish!!!! We make shaving fun, no? (or at least bring a Scooby Doo type vibe.)
If you were a fan of our Bakelite Open Comb Slant Razor, YOU WILL FRIG'N LOVE THE FANTASMA! However, I should point out, El Fantasma is not bakelite nor is it the same design.
El Fantasma is an homage to The Vintage, 1930s FASAN Double Slant Safety Razor! That's right, it's even more "twisted" than its bakelite brother! What could be more fitting when going for a spooky Halloween theme, right? Next, we opted to give ABS a go rather than bakelite this time around. While I absolutely love bakelite (it may be my spirit animal) ABS might just be the better option!
First off, it's recyclable (7) and then, the color options are endless! While I loved offering our past bakelite razors the color choices were not really there. Heck, in order to do our Oxblood razors I had to source the bakelite supply myself, then ship it to the manufacturer! I mean, I never would have been able to do a Glow In The Dark Bakelite, the manufacturers barely understood what a safety razor was, never mind if I asked them to make it glow. Plus, ABS is super strong and impact resistant. This could make it a perfect travel or camping razor. ABS is also heat tolerant and possesses a high tensile strength, It's shock absorbent, and lastly, scratch resistant. To sum it up, though light, it's pretty damn durable and will last generations, especially with the brass hardware we include.
We made sure the coated brass post was the standard 1032 thread so that it can be mixed and matched with your other favorite handles! Though I recommend you hang with the whole package before you switch it up! Unlike it's metal cousin, El Fantasma requires slight pressure, but very, very slight. As for the presumed learning curve, you should have it mastered by the end of a 3 pass shave! A slant need not be about weight, but finesse and angle Grasshopper...
And that brings us to the GLOW!
Like most, I think Glow In The Dark products are just super cool, and they are also ultra retro sci-fi. It's like they were made for another dimension yet here they are here in ours. My only problem with them usually is the dim weakness of the glow. I knew if I was going to make a Glow product it was going to shine like the sun! After 5 different prototypes, I was satisfied. El Fantasma glows like 5 Orange/White hot suns in fact. You can actually see the detail of the razor it's so bright! That said, this is just a cool novelty feature, please don't attempt shaving in the dark.
Think of all the mix & match opportunities you have now if you own any of the other Monster Series Razors!
Try Something Different This Fall Season & Shave On!!!!
