An unusual (for me at least) Bakelite slant from Germany in a very attractive marbled paper/cardboard case. Great big handle for a Bakelite and a relatively conventional slant. Wonder why the Germans specialized in slants and Gillette avoided or ignored that design.

At 1st it doesn't really look like a slant - but it is.

A nice hefty feel for a Bakelite set with an aluminum head.

I'm sure some of our European friends will have some ideas about this razor or photos of others like it. Please post away.

I love that someone (must have) handmade that marbled paper over cardboard case. Really unusual and a great complement to the razor. And the razor looks rarely used.
