had a shave with the "new head" Merkur 37c now. @Dave-the-rave showed a picture comparing new with old here.
Main difference is the comb, which has become neater, and a bit more closed. It never was an OC razor, but now the rear end of the bar is smooth instead of toothed. As far as I'm concerned, this does not really affect shavingbehaviour or comfort, it remains one seriously good razor.

Mulcuto Needle Point full metal slant. The original that the iKon B1/DLC/slant is based upon. Rather more aggressive, and a lot more fun to shave with. Truly lovely piece of shaving-history.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

My ATT S2. My only slant, I find it to be very smooth and efficient.

I took my Merkur 37c slant out after about a year of non-use and I must say it performed just as well as my ATT S1 and S2. It doesn't feel as classy to use and the handle for me felt a tad too short but the end result was just as good.

I like the short little handle on the 37c but it is a little mild for my liking, needs a little more bite for the tough whiskers.

Merkur 36. Vintage slant, silver grip, chrome head, 3-piece short screw, 50gr. Great stuff

Wouldn't say no to one of these.

Is there much of a difference to the red dot side in agression?

 

[efsk]

None. An insert I saw but don't own made the red dot a hep for remembering what side of the blade was where. It said to place the #1 side of the blade at the dot, then shave the first pass with the dot side and the second with the other side. Next day, place the #3 at the dot. As far as I know, the Fasan Duramat blades were not differential, so this would only help to ensure all sides of the blade were used, possibly to prolong blade-life.

 

[Whosthedaddy]

Interesting, makes sense

 

[captain_hx]

A great shaver!

Merkur diagonal. 26grams Pollopas, marvelous

Looks like a slanted Progress head?

 

[efsk]

Some similarities but some differences as well.

Allplastic, 19 grams slanted Globusmann. Same head as previously shown (in a separate thread) Upsal.
