Show us your slants

Judging from the handle, the design of the box and the absence of DRGM and DRP I'd say this razor is late fifties. Problem is, I have no idea if Fasan existed aroud that time ...
And yes, it is one the the most torqued razors I own.

No idea on this one?

It's got the same tilt and slant as the Fasan but the caps are not quite interchangeable due to the angles being ever so slightly different.

It's also lighter than the Fasan at a hefty 11g.

Used this Trumpf this morning and it's definitely a keeper. Same shave if not better than the Fasan with same head design. What a little cracker.

Any examples of adjustable slants?

If you would care to show off my Fasan @Whosthedaddy I'd be grateful, your pics are better than mine!

Great thread. I'll try and add my slant parade to this later in the week.

Any examples of adjustable slants?

I know of no adjustable slants. There's one adjustable diagonal in the classical sense that I know of, that's the Walbusch: basically a Merkur Progres with a Walbusch head. I own two adjustable diagonals where you can adjust the angle the head makes on the grip: you can make the head more or less adjustable, in three steps. Step one is 6 degrees, step 3 is 45 degrees. Haven't tested them yet, so you'll have to wait a bit for pictures.

I have three slants double edge razors, a Merkur 37c, an Ikon Shavecraft 102 and an unmarked slant bakelite razor.

That Bakelite is right up my street

That plastic slant indeed is nice.

Walbusch diagonal razor:

27/28 grams (scales can't seem to decide). Marvelously effective and mild diagonal.

Sonnal bakelite slant:

Can't remember weight. First time I used it was on vacation in a semidark bathroom (all the light there was) and I wrote it of already. Came home, decided to give it another try using another brush and a properly lit room and what a surprise. Great slant.

Bonsa plastic diagonal:

Same model as shown by @Whosyourdaddy. Able to give perfect shaves when used properly.

The huge blade gap makes it look scary but it's a puppy dog really. Although did cut my face up a bit when used a Feather razor in it.

2014 ATT S2 slant-head:

36 gram for just the head. Very nice razor.

Hoffritz slant:

Same razor as Merkur 37c, only difference is with the Hoffritz the top is smooth where the 37c is ribbed. And this is silverplated of course.
