That's a little scary looking... is the handle/bottom plate hard plastic?
Am I correct: instead of twisting the blade the way the Merkur slant does (I know: it may or may not be a helix)
"Twisted" is a different word for "helical", so there you go

Am I correct: instead of twisting the blade the way the Merkur slant does (I know: it may or may not be a helix), these razors have the entire head on a diagonal? Is that correct?
How heavy is the razor, how does it compare with a Merkur slant for example?
I got my two in a package deal with a fellow in Germany and cannot recall what the price breakdown was. Keep your eye on ebay and one will undoubtedly turn up.How much do these things usually fetch? I would be extremely interested. They look so...weird (in a good way).
They are like the Mulcato metal Schragschnitt in that the head is straight rather then twisted and tilted on the handle. These are very light and I have as fore mentioned never tried one. I have a few standard slant razors from various manufacturers made of Bakelite. I have read that they were made during WW2 when conservation of metal was mandatory.

Are there any other razors of this type? Also, can you get old bakelite slant razors like the Merkur Slant (or old slant razors in general)? Don't really want to spend too much, and Merkur slants are quite pricey.
