Fine Accoutrements Slant Razor

[Lifes a Peach]

Interesting development considering the recent chat in the SOTD thread regarding Razorock razors. Made of polymer. Can't remember if the Razorock Stealth Slant was inspired by the same bakelite slant razor but the head on this looks very similar.

Quote from Fine's Facebook page -
"With cutting geometry identical to the mysterious "Italian Barber" Bakelite Slant Razor, the Fine Superlite Slant Razor is coming in 6 - 8 weeks. Price TBD."

We really are spoilt for choice nowadays.

If only the $AUD was back ABOVE the $USD...

[don't see it happening any time soon ]

Very very interesting development.

I'll be interested to see what sort of reviews this gets.

Yes, how unselfish is @Lifes a Peach making other members aware of this!

It will still be there in 2017 if it is any good

Being made of polymer and Fine's "bang-for-buck" reputation, this will not be an expensive razor. Even if we are talking in US dollars.
The handle reminds me of those Star Wars light sabre razors that were doing the rounds. Perhaps these are made on industrial 3D printers?

In any case it's a moot point for you and I

If this gets decent reviews I'll be picking one up with an Angel Hair chaser.

Thanks @Lifes a Peach for the heads up. I'm still waiting for another adjustable razor to be made. I think one was in the pipeline from a pen company- I'll try to track down the link.

Edit: Found the details...

Here's where I got my information from...

Hmm, looks suspiciously like a Personna adjustable.
What say you @Mark1966 ?

 

[borked]

It's virtually a copy of the old Bakelite slants.

I was referring to the adjustable ones @ H&S

The Fine Superlite Slant Razor looks heavy if I'm not mistaken

 

[jalex]
