You know in my former incarnation I was known as "Slant-Fan" because of my love for the "twisted head" A.K.A. Slant bar DE razors. I still have quite a collection of them from various makers. I used to shave with the Merkur with a Feather most of the time and every now and then I think of doing a shave with one of them one more time I don't though because I visualize that thin sharp (read harsh) Feather and I don't want to waste the shave. I am 60 years old and every shave may be my last. If Glen has your razors I am sure they will be worth the wait.
