Don't even want to talk about that.
I hear you, thanks for the info on the slants. Maybe IllI get a chance to try one some day. I often see old GEM slants at antique shops, but stayed away from them because I thought there was not much if a selection of blades for them. Also didn't know if those blades are universal like DE blades

Don't know a lot about vintage SE razors.
I have a turn of the century thistle cutlery straight that provides amazing shaves, but my Timeless TI sb scallop gets the most use

If you like on the website of Koraat you can see all the razors Ulrik Beyer made over the years, there are a lot of stunning razors :

He is a former goldsmith, so his attention to detail is huge.

I keep trying others, but keep falling back to my Rockwell 6c.
That nice. Simple and elegant. Are the scales Ebony?

I think so, maybe I am wrong? What we're the old slant razors they used to give the American soldiers?
Here is a link I just found that gives a history of GEM

Not sure but to the best of my knowledge Gem only made single edge razors, Not slants. @Ron R would know more though.
Here is an ad for an Eveready Soldier razor set they are a cousin of Gem and I may have given Gems to soldiers also.
That shows what I know, I thought slants were single edge. Are you sayingsthat not all single edge razors are slants? What are the differences between them?
Cool ad by the way
