Thanks for reporting back. If you think the 37C twists the blade, you should try some of the German vintage slants.
The list is open.

Sure.Can I have a slot please. I won't pull out of this one @riverrun
I tried a Trumpf slant on a pass around and liked it. I think Fasan is another brand to look out for. I honestly don't know too much about them. @efsk is the resident expert on vintage slants.Yes I know, I just was talking about the blade twist when compaired to the S2, as you say some other slants put an unbelievable amount of twist on the blade, I may have to try one of those vintage German slants, what would you recommend ? Thanks.
PM sentSee my main interest in this razor is comparing it to my 34c and i've never used a slant before.
Replied and looking forward to the razorPM sent
Thank you, it's intresting that I didn't find the 37c anything special at all and much prefer my ATT S2. I do realise that the 37c has. Massive following but I couldn't find why! Maybe slants are just not for me although I can detect a better shave with the S2 when compaired to my ATT R2. Thank you for the infomation regarding the vintage German slants.@Blademonkey & @riverrun : There's a lot of vintage german slants that are fun and great shavers. The Trumpf and Fasan that are mentioned are great, and can now be had for cheap in the form of the PAA bakelite slant. @Leisureguy has regularly referred to his Eros here lately, which is a diagonal that has been sold under several brandnames. Great shavers, this morning a white and a brown walbusch variant of this razor were being offered. Apollo has made some great razors, and the Solingen differentialhead that the X3 is a muted variant of is terrific. Search for Lutz if you want one.
That said, for me the 37c belongs to the best slants have to offer.
Thank you for keeping me informed, enjoy!@Blademonkey and @riverrun to confirm the Merkur 37c has arrived safe and sound. I had already shaved this morning with my oneblade so will give it 2-3 days to build a bit of growth to really give it the first run. will keep you all posted
