With seemingly a few new slants of late released to the market, if you could only have one slant what would it be?
Favourite Slant?

I only have the Merkur 37c and you love it. Looking to try the new RR slant when the next batch is released if I get lucky enough.
I have the ATT S2 and the Fine Slant. I like the the Fine with a brass handle.
+1 on the 37C. Excellent instrument. Wish I had ordered a 39C so that the handle matched my workhorse '38' of the last few years though. Think about that before trigger pulling. Can't miss either way though.
My Merkur 37c works great, don't feel the need to try anything else. I did have the new Fine slant and used it for a month or two. It was a quality tool and gave a good shave, however it's featherweight just didn't work for me, my face sees to prefer a little weight in the razor. YMMV
My first slant was a Merkur 39c and I tried the Ikon DLC Slant and the Fine Superlite. Both could not surpass the 39c. I was one of the lucky ones to get Razorock's latest slant and finally found a slant to dethrone the 39c. I still keep the 39c out to rotate with the Razorock, but the Ikon has been sold and the Fine is boxed up right now.
I have had four I sold my Merkur 39c, and still have an Ikon DLC slant on a SE handle, a ATT S1, and my favorite slant Shavecraft 102. The Merkur was okay, I just have a thing against zamac headed razors.
I really like the Merkur 39C I have now. I remember I was afraid of it when I tried it years ago.
My 37C by far.
For me I find the ATT S2 to be by far my fav.
Never had any urge to buy another slant after getting a Merkur 37c, it just worked so well for me. That is until the Fine Superlite Slant came on the scene. The Superlite shaves just as well as the 37c for me once you get used to the light weight. Just always wanted to try a plastic slant but did not want to pay for a vintage Bakelite one.

I have a Mercur, RR, ATT S1 and S2. The RR is no longer available. So of those currently sold I prefer the ATT S1. It's smooth and efficient.
I have a vintage Merkur 37G that's my go-to slant. Really, other than a few Bakelite slants, everything I've tried is Merkur (or Hoffritz, which is the same thing). The vintage 37G edges out the modern 37C I had, though. There is some difference in the design of the two. Although I could not tell you why it makes a difference, it does.
Merkur 37c. It works fine for me. Havent looked at anything else but the Fine slant, just too light.
Would have to be my 37c.
The only razor I take when I travel.
I do have a 3 piece slant (stainless) in my free range head collection but the 37c still ranks higher for me

Yup.
I have a ikon dlc slant and 102 slant. Still have yet to use them as I'm waiting for some minor irritation on my neck to go away.
