Slant razors! Soooo cool! Yes! One must look at bolsters, grinds, fonts, other similarities.
Much has been discovered about PJM's pseudonyms, but many remain a mystery! Solingen-Wald, for instance, is responsible for many, many names! Some research might help."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Thanked: 169Finally gave this a go with a fresh edge from Bayamontate. This is a fabulous blade, balanced, maneuverable, and capable of extreme precision. This also took on a truly wicked edge. Like a laser beam shaped as a straight razor. Never used a big blade such as this with a squared out point. It left an impression for sure. This blade just felt so controllable between the balance, jimps, and the slightly convex tang. No perceptible flex in the blade from the hollowing. Amazing shave quality. A pleasure to strop as well. I can't really think of any faults with this one. I can't overstate the edge this thing took on, it went through 4 days worth of growth like a squeegee.. Stiff blade for a hollow, slightly muted feedback. Major candidate to become a primary blade in rotation.
