    Spotted this slant razor in the "waiting for"-thread over on TSR and can't remember if anyone over here have had the chance to try one out :)

    Price: $15.38 or $22.28 depending on color

    Product page

    The creator has some other design as well

    The white plastic model you have shown is $15.38. The other price is for the metallic plastic version.

    I shaved two times with it sofar. I have to get used to it's light weight (coming from Above the Tie S2), it feels a bit cheapish and not to sturdy.
    Especially yesterday's shave was an extremely good shave! Long lasting smoothness!
    Worth a try!

    I wish there was a photo - and not just a rendering of the "metal" one

    I'm honestly really considering this razor. It just yells unique and I dig it. On the to-get list it goes lol :)

    That's so butt ugly I'd have to shave in the dark, and we all know how that would turn out.

    I just checked out the cute "Kraken 248" slant head video.
    While I'm sure it will shave, although durability would be a question in my mind. Assembly/disassembly is IMO too fussy(too many tiny parts to fiddle with, drop and lose early in the morning:happy097:). Also it doesn't sit well with me that that after buying the razor I'd still need to buy more special parts at the hardware store to complete the assembly and make the razor shave ready:(. Everything should be included IMO.
    As a 3 piece razor user I just see no advantage to this razor.

    Maybe they can 3D-print a glow in the dark model? :rofl:

    You mean to tell me that they couldn't include the necessary nut and bolt? Forgot it. Oh. And washers. Nah. I'll pass. Fine has a Slant coming out soon that won't require a trip to the hardware store.

    I'm thinking an invisible model....:p

    Very unique looking razor and I like the cool design, but find it a bit strange that you would have to go to a hardware store to get specific parts for the razor to work. I do look forward to hearing thoughts on the shave.
