Krect. 41 grams, metal:
Rather small shaving angle, rather quiet, rather effective.
That's gorgeous, never seen one before, it's like a sculpture.

Merkur 37c (or 39c if you're into heavy razors) is a perfect slant for a reasonable price. ATT/iKon are great as well, but a lot more expensive. The Fine slant I haven't tried yet, but postage makes it expensive. The 3d-printed ones are nice and cheap, but I wouldn't start with one.I would love to try a slant - but I think I need more practise first ! What would be a good induction into slants btw?

The Fine slant is actually a very good little razor. I'm not one for very lightweight razors, and, apart from a Dorco plastic PL-602, anything non-metal in my razors has been bakelite Wardonias. However, the Fine shaves well, close and without irritation. I think that's mostly to do with the design of the head, and I aim to see how it performs with aluminium and stainless handles.Merkur 37c (or 39c if you're into heavy razors) is a perfect slant for a reasonable price.

If you follow the Golden Rule of shaving off the lather, and not your face, (no pressure), then you don't really need much practice with a slant. The Merkur 39c is a wonderful razor, probably my favourite, and will leave you speechless.There are some amazing razors in this post - loving them !

Coles, a New York cutlerer selling rebranded Merkur razors. This is their 37 variant:
How reminiscent of the Hoffritz razor/case so beloved of the fictional James Bond is this ! ( and yes, I know this is a slant whilst he preferred the heavy toothed, Gillette based OC ).

That's because except for the name it's the exact same razor.How reminiscent of the Hoffritz razor/case so beloved of the fictional James Bond is this !

I've actually got 2 professional 3D printers, but not dared to try a printed razor yet !
Maybe soon !
