Not what I was expecting
So with this heavy duty long handle razor i was expecting something different. Maybe a bit of an aggressive bulldozer of a razor. It's mild not what I was expecting or wanting.

    After a failed experience with an Edwin Jagger many years ago I was hesitant to get back into the DE shaving game. But the longer handle on this razor combined with its extra weight makes it a joy to use. I can’t see myself going back to expensive cartridge razors ever again.

    My husband absolutely loves this shaver. He has tried several and upon opening this he said the weight of it felt better, not cheaply made, the handle is longer and easier to hold onto while shaving, much easier to get the blade in and out, well made product!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This is the first double edge safety razor I have ever used. I have tried electric razors and trimmers, plus the typical multi-blade razors of various sorts, and have been shaving as an adult for the lifetime of most college aged people. I know what I like, and what seems risky and too risky, at least for me. Now, I have tried a straight razor, but I can't seem to sharpen those well enough, and haven't had time to focus on that lately again. So, I bought one of these to try out, and perhaps begin working my way to a straight razor a slower way.

    I really do like this razor. I like the heft, it cuts quite well, it's easy to use. The only thing I would have, perhaps, liked, was if it had a butterfly opening to the blade. Due to ignorance, I assumed they all had that feature. Why do I want it, being ignorant for the most part? Ah, because my grandfather shaved with one of these and his opened that way. Yeah, strange, but.

    After having shaved with a straight razor, and not so well, I can say this is much safer. I have nicked myself, but only after I got a little too comfortable shaving, and then got in a hurry one day. I would recommend starting out slowly, taking your time, and learning the angles of your face and how to shave those correctly with this razor. First shave will get it closer than what you are used to shaving, most likely. A second and maybe third pass will get it very close. I haven't found perfection, only better or worse. And this, for me, even on a single pass, is better than I have known. Next I will be trying various other sorts of blades. "They" say there is a difference. I doubt much, but try on my own.

    I figure it will save me money, it is sort of neat to use this old tech, and I do believe it will help me learn the angles of my face so that the possibility of shaving with a straight razor might be more likely, and safe, if I can figure out sharpening to that fineness you really need. Good luck!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great shave with titanium blades. Read review if you have hand issues.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I decided to try out the classic Merkur safety razor, hoping for a close, smooth shave. It definitely delivers on that front – the weight and balance make it easy to control, and with a titanium blade, it's incredibly sharp.

    However, there's one big caveat: the handle is pretty thin and the razor itself is heavy. If you have any issues with your hands, like carpal tunnel, this might not be the razor for you. It gets uncomfortable to hold after a while.

    If you don't have hand problems, I'd recommend giving it a try. Just be aware that it's not the most ergonomic design for everyone.

    Razor worked great for a year. I love the weight and feel, pretty effortless to have a good shave. After about a year, the threads started to degrade on the handle so I'm now not able to fasten the razor down and making the razor no longer safe to use.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024

    I have had several double edge razors in the past and none of them even come close to this one. I don't know if it is the material used or the angle of the blade, but this razor gives me the most comfortable shave I ever had. That includes the disposable i used to use. I would encourage everyone to use a double edge razor for financial savings along with environmental consciousness (no plastic razors sitting in a landfill). Spend the $$$ on this razor, buy some blades and you will see for yourself.

    Where to start?

    Well, it's made in Germany, so you'd be right to have high expectations, and not be disappointed.

    As you'd expect, it's heavy compared to cartridge razor handles, but equally, it's well balanced.

    It holds the blade securely, and at the right angle for a close shave. The blade support has space to allow quick rinsing out during your shave. It will come apart easily enough for a thorough clean as and when required.

    The patterned grip works well, so it's not going to slip, even with very wet fingers.

    If you are looking to break out of the comparatively expensive cartridge model, this is a very good starting model. I found that either the Feather platinum blades, or the Astra premium platinum work well, and the whole thing works out cheaper over a year than the Wilkinson Sword cartridge razor I was using before. You can use shaving foam / gel, but I'd recommend some shaving soap, and a brush. Taylors of Old Bond Street do some fantastic fragrances, and a small tub will last about 6 months.

    Prodotto Solido, ben costruito.
    Ci si rade quasi con il solo peso del rasoio.
    Non mi aspettavo di riuscire a radermi con tanta facilità in quanto è stato il mio approccio ad un rasoio di sicurezza.
    Rasatura agevole e perfetta anche per una PELLE SENSIBILE come la mia accoppiando il Merkur con lamette ASTRA VERDI.
    Ovviamente bisogna passare contropelo, ma non lascia irritazioni ed è quasi impossibile tagliarsi.
    Zero graffietti, nessun rossore, pelle morbida.

    Da precisare che ho ammorbidito e preparato il viso con acqua calda.
    Ho utilizzato come pre-rasatura l’olio DAWN OF GLORY e poi come crema da rasatura la WOOD & SPICE Proraso distribuita con pennello EDWIN JAGGER di Tasso.
    A fine rasatura, balsamo WOOD & SPICE Proraso.

    Perfezione !!

    5.0 out of 5 stars schöner Rasierer - liegt gut in der Hand
    Reviewed in Germany on August 19, 2021

    Der Rasierer hat ein ganz schönes Gewicht und liegt damit gut in der Hand.
    Bislang habe ich nur die mitgelieferte Rasierklinge verwendet - damit war ich schon mal sehr zufrieden.
    Das Rasierergebnis ist sehr gut.
    Was ich sehr praktisch finde, ist der Drehmechanismaus zum Spannen/Entspannen der Klinge. Beim Rasieren genügt ein kurzer Dreh und man kann die Seifenreste leicht rauswaschen und dann weitermachen.
    Ich hatte zuvor schon mal einen Hobel (von Gilette) aus Plastik - das ist einfach nicht zu vergleichen!
    Ich würde den Merkur jederzeit wieder kaufen.
