Above the Tie announces its stainless-steel slant: Another humpback slant

Here it is, available for pre-order, solid guard or open-comb. It’s a humpback design, like the vintage Walbusch slant and the new iKon Shavecraft #102. The head of the ATT slant is $146; the head of the Shavecraft #102 is $48. That’s quite a difference, even though the ATT slant is stainless steel and the #102 is aluminum.

The humpback design does not twist the blade. The Merkur 37C/39C, the Stealth, and the iKon stainless slants use the twisted-blade design, but I believe that is purely for appearance, not performance: you have to twist the blade if the razor is going to be symmetric.
