Stefan, can you tell us a little more about these, particularly the slant? What's the handle length? Are they 2 or 3 piece? Zamak heads with brass handles?

According to Stefan "based on a Merkur, black ceramic coated"

They are brass with zamak heads. The handles are 2.75", the slant weighs 142 grams and the guard bar razor weighs 100grams. The Slant is a two piece razor and the safety bar is a 3 piece. I ordered samples from many different manufacturers over the last 3 years and these heads and handles were my favorites. As with all my products, I just pick the stuff that I think is the coolest and run with it.

Those razors look great with the brush.

Stefan, very cool razors, by the time I saw the email, the slant was gone. It does go very well with your black handled brushes. Keep on bringing out the cool stuff

Patently waiting for the next batch of slants.

Me too! To hold you over, here is a picture of a custom barbers neck duster I made for one of our customers. [Image: Lf3PMWX.jpg]

For those of you waiting for a slant, I don't think you will be disappointed. Got mine yesterday and was able to try it tonight, it works awesome. Because I have only been wet shaving for 7 months now and only have 5 razors I don't have the experience others do and cannot give a detailed evaluation of this razor like others could. This is what I have found, it's efficient, easy to find the right angle and not cuts. A shave with no blood loss is always a good thing.   The blade locked in no problem and for me the weight and length handle worked for me. It's the most inexpensive razor I own and it's a definite keeper.

A while ago I asked Stefan if he could make a custom brush with a black handle and knot and he made one for me. Maybe not for everyone but I like it!

Excellent review. I am on their notify list for the slant when back in stock. The brush and slant look beautiful. Use them well.
