Irish webshop manlystuff.ie also has shaverelated stuff, amongst which a slant, in black or chrome. Got my black variant of this slant and had a shave with it. It came in a plain black carton box including a pack of Gillette 7'O'Clocks. This box was wrapped in black tissuepaper and placed in a box for shipping. No extra padding was added to that outer box, so the box the razor was in arrived a bit worse for wear. Nothing serious though.
Looking at the razor there's three recognizable things about it. First the head, which is clearly based on the Merkur 37/39 razors. Second the head which resembles the The Holy Black SR71 very much with similar uneven toothing and stuff. Third the grip which reminds me of the Razorock Stealth.
Like the Merkurs, it is a two-piece razor and like the SR71, the coating does not extend al the way down the screw. The coating does make the screw rather fat: to get a blade in place some force is needed. Alignment is good enough to not be an issue.
Shaving is fine. Feedback is rather quiet, the coating has no detrimental effect on sliding, and the more sensitive parts of my throat had no complaints. Its Merkur 37c genes definately make themselves known. Same amount of money will land you a Merkur without the crappy uneven toothing, but not in black and not with a grip that's doing its best to look modern.
