Thank you for your interest. Orders placed by 6 AM on Friday, December 26th will be shipped this year. Orders placed after that time will be shipped after January 2nd. Thank you for your understanding. This is a RazoRock German 37 Slant with an HD handle. It is an homage to the Merkur 37C. It is slightly more aggressive than the original, but not to the point of being unmanageable. Of course, it can be used for daily shaving. After purchasing it, my preference changed and I started using open comb razors, which have a stronger blade feel, as my main razor. I used this razor 2-3 times and then put it away. The box will be shipped folded. Thank you.
