With second hand Stealth Slants going for absurd prices on eBay (like $200+) this might be worth a look. Anybody dipped their toe in the water? If Joe were still producing these there might be some ethical/legal concerns but he's not so I suppose absent patent protection it's fair game. https://razorbladesandmore.com/prod...omb-double-edge-shaving-razor-version-2-dot-0 Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
The clone is stainless steel handle* with I presume a Zamak head. Indicated weight is 4 oz. (I figure about 76g/37g for handle/head) *The Elegante handle is standard on other Matador razors and indicated to be SS in their description. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I can't find anyone selling this one for a decent price to Europe, so I am safe for now. Otherwise I would be very, very tempted. I have wanted to try the RR slant, but the price has been too high for me.
IMHO, the best deal for a slant out there is the Maggard slant. $20 for the head, add your own handle.
@Jayaruh. It depends on what you want. Personally, I love iKon X3 and iKon #102 because they are extra ordinary mild. They are milder than the 37C razor. I seriously considered Maggard slant until I read it is even more aggressive than German 37/37C razors. From what I have read, the Stealth slant is considered to be a mild slant, which is why I am very tempted by it. Preferences in shaving is so YMMV.
I learned from B&B that this razor is also sold at manlystuff.ie. I ordered the black matte version. RAD is strange, when you think you are cured and safe you are just about to see one of the most active periods.
Where are you? If I decide to order one I certainly can grab a second one and post it to you if shipping is cheaper that way. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Thanks, but as I posted just a while ago, I ordered already one from manlystuff.ie. They have a decent shipping rate to my place.
Yep, just missed that. Link to the B&B discussion? That one is $34 posted to the US. I'd prefer the chrome myself. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Ah of course. Thanks. Very anxious to hear how that works out for you. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
And now they offered me a 20% discount making the price about the same as RB&M...aaargh Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Who offered you 20% off? Manly stuff or razor blades and more? And if you prefer the chrome... why would the other be tempting?
Manly. Put them in your cart without checking out and they'll send a discount. Tempting because someone has actually purchased one and given a good review, while nobody yet vouches for the QC of the Matador version. Handle matching gives the edge to the chrome for me all things being equal. Sean @ Manly sent a second email indicating the slant goes back to full price tomorrow.

The clone from Manly Stuff in Ireland shaves just as reviews of the Stealth suggest, almost disconcerting in its mildness, but very efficient. No trouble with the head shave's tricky stuff that foiled the Tech yesterday. I used an alternative handle that Sean at MS sent, a little shorter and lighter than stock but at 122g quite heavy enough thank you. Even at the regular price of €29 it's a sweet razor. There's one obvious imperfection on the outside of the baseplate but that's the only issue and it certainly doesn't impact the shave. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Mine is at the post office at the moment. I will get it from the office tomorrow, and then at Thursday probably the first shave.
