    Bit the bullet on one myself. I also snagged a special edition handle as I prefer a heavy feel.

    It's a weird design, and a bad photo angle on the product page that doesn't really show off the slantedness at all. Here are some photos that do a better job.

    Thanks for that. I was thinking the same thing as BigMark. So, it appears that it is an angled head without any torquing of the blade. Looks pretty awesome. Be sure you let us know how it shaves gents!

    I jumped all over this as well. I posted a thread, but in the Hot Deals instead of the safety razors section. I would imagine the price will go up about $10, so I took a chance on the pre-sale. I've been waiting on this one for a few months. I look forward to hearing the different impressions.

    I actually like the design, the head is now $48.

    I thought this thread is useless without pictures of the razor head =)

    I didn't think it looked slanted, is it just me?

    The head is not twisted like the current dlc version. The entire head is slanted where it's mounted to the handle. It will be interesting to compare the two.

    See my reply above to Mark, it has a link to better photos where you can see how it's slanted.

    Can someone report back with how this thing performs? I'm curious to know how it compares to my beloved DLC slant

    Welcome to TSD! I'm sure if you come around you'll be hearing a lot about the new head.

    Looks interesting, I am interested in one day trying a slant, and now there seems plenty to choose from. Can't wait to see some more reviews of this.

    I'd enjoy seeing a review on this razor also. :happy088: Although after my recent less than satisfactory experience with the Merkur 37C I'm not inclined to purchase the 102 slant head, especially for $48. But I would like to see some opinions on the 102. A 3 piece is definitely of more interest to me than the 2 piece, but in the end it's all about performance!! :)

    I don't really care for satin finish on any razor be it a straight or DE

    That link is showing it for $48 now. How did u get if for $35? Is it stainless? I can't find the full description.

    $35 was a limited time introductory price, seemed to last less than 24 hours. It's made of aluminum.

    Mine is scheduled to arrive today, I plan to post pics and first impressions tonight.
