Looks like the schräg (slant) Merkur 38 with the lange Verschraubung (long screw connection) - not in the photo.View attachment 1919626

Yes, definitely the 38, you know your Merkurs!

Here's one I don't use. (640.38 on shipper)

Finishing up Slantember with this old German bakelite + Astra.

Head shave with Fatip LoSorto + Vikings Sword blade (no idea how many uses).
Soap and brush per pict.
AS Proraso red
2 pass shave and some pickups, have some burning around the crown.....maybe I should have checked the blades edge as it was older and used and lying in the bathroom (for months).
All in all a good shave.

Face shave
German bakelite Slant
Gillette Plat #4-5
2+ pass shave

I am amazed how this razor is "behaving" this year....., I was a bit afraid from previous uses.....smooth, good shaves.....maybe I will use it outside of Slantember.

I will probably rate it #4 after the Wunderbar, Merkur 37G, Superslant 3++ w bar (for some reason the 2++ OC isn't that good for me (lacks efficiency or I haven't found the right angle).

Well another year/month of slants has gone by......

@Filudo thanks for pulling the Slantember thread together this year. I failed to shave the last two days. Tonight I 'gracefully' transitioned to OCtober with my RazoRock Superslant L3++OC.

I also pulled/discarded a lot of blades from slants and filed the razors back in the drawer.

Also kudos to @Filudo! I was slacking, or rather too often picked the tool of choice, my SuperSlant L3++ or felt like shaving with something non-slanted. Truth be told, I am still wondering where I put my Henson and my Fatip, I was busily working on my home, oooh well....^^
