    Are you looking specifically to buy a used razor?

    If you want a new one I highly recommend QED. He's even in RI so probably a day's shipping away...

    or Shaving Essentials, which carries it for $33.84 shipped. They're in the Bluegrass state.

    Perfect, Thank you both for the links. I have a Gillete Fatboy right now but after reading all the threads about Slant I just want to give it a try :).
    Thanks!

    Don't order too quick James! Check this out. A Merkur Slant with a barber pole style spiraling etched grip. Just another option...

    If you wait for the Barber Pole version, LeesRazors has been good to me (no relation, just a plug for good experiences).

    Now can someone please kindly explain to me the difference between the Barber Pole Version Slant and the regular version Slant?
    Thanks!

    The barber pole version is now the 39C and is a slant head on a 38C handle. IMHO, not a beginner's razor.

    I really have to agree with Jimmy's comments here. I can't see the long handled slant as a beginner's razor. It is no doubt a great razor for some, but I suspect it will turn beginners right off after a use or two.
