Nice. I'm tempted to say Hoffritz, would that be right?

You say that and not Merkur as no scallops or indents on the top cap?

efsk · Saturday February 13, 2016

Exactly. Pomco would be a possibility as well but they seem rather less common.

I'm going to work on it today. I shaved with it this morning and it's a keeper.

Sharkbone 220. A 3D-printed razor, found at Shapeways.com:

A surprisingly good, mild, and loud razor.

Got my 3D printed slant from Shapeways today. I wouldn't call this one mild though... But agree it's very loud!
This is the Kraken 248 and it weighs 13g including the nut, bolt and washer.
I especially like the handle which is very comfortable and easy to manipulate.
I love it!

Where'd you get the nut / bolt from, what sizes?

theymademedoit · Monday February 22, 2016

I got them (borrowed them!) from work.
M5 countersunk screw approx 15mm in length. All stainless too!
I'm sure they are easy to get hold of...

Cheers, it's a cool looking handle. The OC looks a little aggressive?

theymademedoit · Monday February 22, 2016

Yeah, it's not shy. I'd say it was pretty aggressive but it's the only slant I've used so nothing to compare it to.

Having said that though, it's not uncomfortable or harsh. And cos it's so light I found it quite easy to not go too hard on my face.

Nice, that Kraken is making its way to me as well. Expected it saturday, but will have to wait till tuesday (no monday delivery overhere ...)
Meanwhile, my last two shaves were with my Diova slant:

Kratz. All-metal slant, German, 1920's. Very nice razor.
