Received Razorock's German 37 Slant Head recently. The head is an exact copy, as far as I can tell, to the head on the Merkur 37c and the 39c. I use to use Merkur's 39c slant and enjoyed same but found the handle and the 2 piece design not to my preference. Razorock retail the head only; the head including shipping to the UK cost me £21.45. Paired with Weber's bulldog handle I welcome the increased agility and maneuverability.
I am not sure this set-up offers much difference over the 37c, but it works well for me. The finish on the head is good rather than outstanding but in any event equal to Merkurs. Some have reported some tightness threading the head onto their handle but I found no issues. I think that the razor is now sold in the UK (Shavestation ?) with a 90mm SS bulldog handle at a good price.
Here's a comparison with the 39c (excuse the photo quality).
Merkur's slant head design works great for me and for those that prefer a 3-piece design Razorock's copy is a welcome option.
