5.0 out of 5 stars Something that actually changed my life
I got this 3 years ago as my first double edge razor and haven't looked back (or forward). I had 20 years of angry skin and ingrown hairs from multi blade razors and electric shavers. I had tried every technique and product on the market, I don't know why it took me so long to try old school. I guess I thought it was outdated technology, but they had it right years ago. I realize what a scam the multi blade razor industry is now. There is a slight learning curve but once you adapt your technique, it's so easy and straightforward. It is worth mentioning that you don't necessarily need to do the whole "old school shaving" process with shave soap/creams, brushes, etc. There is no need for 6 products and a 12-step process unless you just enjoy the ritual. Your mileage will vary, but I found that the easiest and best for me is just using a cheap shave gel, Harry's or Nivea sensitive. My system is 34c, featherlight blades, cheap shave gel, and a light daily face moisturizer (Vanicream). I shave my neck everyday in the shower and the process takes me about 1 minute. It only took me about 20 years to get it right..
5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner's razor
I used this razor for a year before I switched to the Merkur 37c Slant razor (which I also highly recommend as your second razor). Then recently, after I carelessly broke my slant, which is hard to do, I've been using the 34c again. I like it even more than the first time, I think due to the Feather blades I'm using now. It does great work with one day of beard growth, but struggles with 2 or 3 day growth (YMMV). It is well made, attractive, and is likely a great choice for most people. The shave is close, but it's a mildly aggressive razor by DE standards. The handle is small and knurled, and meant to be lightly held with the fingertips so that the weight of the blade does all the work. Since this is a 2-piece razor, you can't swap out the handle, but that has always been fine with me. It's a very nice shaving tool, and I highly recommend it as your first DE razor!
5.0 out of 5 stars My first double edge razor! Perfect- I've no idea why people feel there's a learning curve. This is heirloom quality
I want to first start off by saying that I think the folks who are writing reviews about this style of razors having a "learning curve" to learn how to use must be either crazy- or this is just the perfect razor.I am a 39 year old man- and before this razor I had never shaved with a old style double edge safety razor. From reading the reviews (on a lot of razors) I was really worried that I was going to nick up my face and bleed. Out of the box this was a true pleasure to shave with-- the shave is hands down the best shave I've ever had. Even my wife commented and I hadn't told her I had tried a new razor.From reading dozens of reviews I found this model kept coming up in reviews as a good choice so I took the plunge- and man am I happy I did. I also bought a high quality shaving soap and lather brush- and a stand to hold everything. Reminds me of a time from long ago. I almost didn't shave the first time as I was so worried that I was going to Nick myself and walk around looking like a 14 year old kid with band aids- but that didn't happen-- I followed all the good advice from other reviews and went at it. Here's a short list of what worked for me.A: Buy quality- I almost bought the $19.99 as seen on TV razor from the history Channels "Pawn Stars" reality show ( I love that show-) but after reading the reviews it was obvious that for slightly more money- just a little bit more I could do better. So go with quality- and get a HEAVY razor that is of heirloom quality.B: Really wet your face with HOT water prior to shavingC: Buy a really good shaving/lather brush with real animal hair- get it very wet and hot before shavingD: Buy a high quality shaving soap- and use hot hot water and your brush to really get a great lather. ( I just went with the #1 seller on Bolo and was very happy-- it's smoothness and scent was an instant hit and I knew all was good)E: Let the weight of the razor do all the work- don't pull the razor- just line it up, give a quick angle to have the blade make contact and let the weight of the razor do the work For the love of god please, don't ever shave against the grain of your face-- DUH!F: Use a good after shave/conditionerOverall all I have sensitive skin and coarse facial hair (think 2pm shadow). My first shave through I had zero issues. No burn, no nicks, no redness and no blood-- just a great shave. And for those who say it now takes them longer to shave I say NAY! My first time it took no more than 90 seconds longer than normal and that included opening the boxes putting in the razor blade ( which was brainless by the way just in case you're worried about it like I was) unwrapping the soap and the brush etc.This has become the way I will shave forever-- hell maybe in 100 years a grandchild of mine will have that razor in their bathroom and use it everyday- the quality is top notch. It's an heirloom and you don't even have to be close to a rocket scientist to use it. Don't let all the reviews of nicks and rash scare you- I'm convinced those reviews are from guys out there who may be a little clueless on most matters of hygiene.End note-I did a lot of research on which razor blades to buy- this razor only comes with one. I have chosen Astra blades after reading through many reviews and they work excellent for me.I did read some reviews that say you have to shave twice with this type of razor- I have not found that to be true- it seems that I get a great shave with just one pass- although I have tried a second pass from time to time but mostly because its just fun to shave with this razor and the brush and lather is so awesome. I do not see any really noticeable difference between one shave and two pass shaving- but that could be just me.If you are thinking of going to this type of shave- buy this razor and enjoy- Since I started shaving I've always used the cheap 8 pack generic throw away brands from rite aide--- never again. This razor is truly shaving the way it should be. I only wish I had figured that out 20+ years ago.Disclaimer: I am not an expert in shaving by any stretch. Shaving is obviously inherently dangerous- be careful shaving. Just because it worked for me out of the box doesn't mean it will for you. GO SLOW let the weight of the razor do the work. Don't cut your face up. If you think you can't handle it don't do it. It worked for me but that's no guarantee it will work for you- so don't go and get all pissy if you cut yourself- everyone's face is different. Read the reviews. Get a game plan-- watch some you tube videos. Buy good equipment and enjoy the shave safely.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very good DE safety razor!
I upgraded to this razor from a cheap introductory razor I was using just to try out DE razors. That one left me battling knicks and outright cuts on a daily basis. I have used this Merkur for a few weeks now and have had almost no knicks and zero cuts. I was going to knock it for not delivering as close of a shave, but it's doing what I wanted in terms of being less aggressive and leaving no irritation. I was using a less sharp blade brand due to the other DE razor being too aggressive so I tried a different razor blade brand and found that to deliver a closer shave with the Merkur. Delivers two days of stubble free appearance per shave. So I'm happy with the blend of shave closeness without cuts. I don't love changing the blade on this vs. the ease of the butterfly mechanics, but I feel this is more secure and will last a long time. I'd like to give this razor a 4.5 vs. a 4 with slight dings for closeness of shave and the time to change blades, but can't go 5. I feel it's a solid product and glad I bought it. I won't look for another one anytime soon.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable and no blood
I am just starting down the safety razor path. I bought a cheap one (less than half this price), and although it gave just as good as shave, I ended up with lots of cuts and scraping across my face. I got this and had a fantastic shave with no scraping or cuts. I can't say the shave was better, but there was no comparison in comfort.
My first
This is my first safety razor. I would recommend to any one looking for there first. If this is your first, look for the sample packs of blades and try them all to see what you like and don't like. Don't just youtube blades to see what they like try them all.
