New Slant Razor

i almost never buy anything pot metal anymore. so for me i would say the ikon 102 or b1 otherwise the att s1. the ikon works really awesome for me even though its not super aggressive it shaves awesome.

If/when the Ikon Shavecraft 102 slant is back in stock I would suggest getting this one.  The 37C and 39C are excellent, but the Shavecraft is very special in being very smooth.  The other Ikon slants are also very good, but a bit more aggressive and expensive.

I currently own a stainless RR Stealth Slant and an iKon #102 and I love them both. So much so that I sold off my Baby Smooth and my Weber PH. The Stealth is a slight more aggressive than the #102 but still silky smooth. I use the Stealth more than the #102 mostly because my wife keeps taking my iKon due to its incredible smoothness. Also I just checked and the iKon #102 IS currently in stock on ikon's website. Hope this helps and happy shaving.

I am turning towards the Merkurs, especially after reading the complaints about ikon. Wish the RR Stealth was available.

Hey Herbert, still harnessing the beast with the Astras? What's the latest?

Yep! Im still rocking the S2 with the Astra SP with excellent results! Tomorrow I will try the Med Preps on it!!!!! Lets see how it goes.

So I hear there is a version 1 top cap and a new version 2 top cap for ATT slants? Any info would be appreciated.

Whats the difference between the ATT S1 & S2?

ATT's website chart on base plates should designate the slant base plate with solid bar (SB) as S1, and the slant base plate with open comb (OC) as S2 because elsewhere S1 and S2 are used but not properly associated with the description. It boils down to S1 = solid bar (SB) and S2 = open comb (OC).

Between the abbreviations, acronyms and proprietary trade talk, it's enough to keep you occupied for ages! Once you've invested the time necessary to become comfortable on a given website, you're likely to be pretty well hooked!

ATT adjusted the top cap so that there was even blade exposure both with the bar/comb and the cap.

Previously it had appeared uneven. I say appeared because it was only at the cap and not the cutting end; still caused concerns with some folks so Stan changed it. I believe they may be shipping both style caps though as they clear inventory.
