Beauty : Merkur Heavy Duty Safety Razor


I have used one of these for at least the last ten years, and it is the closest shave you will ever get by yourself. Keep in mind that this is a straight forward razor and when you start using it, it shaves alot closer than normal-learn to shave all over and enjoy the best shave you will ever have. As for the price, I do believe I paid the same for it ten years ago, no price increase, and a pack of blades can last two months easy.

Beauty : Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor Blades 3-Pack


There's nothing particularly wrong with Merkur blades, but they don't provide enough of a positive difference over the competition to be worth the extra cost. These are very basic razor blades, selling on Amazon for between $.50 - $.75 per blade. You can get Derbys for $.20 (100-pack for $20, with Amazon's free shipping), or get a pack of generic blades from Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, or any local pharmacy (almost all generic brand blades in the US are made by the American Safety Razor Company, and are surprisingly effective) for between $.15 (Wal-Mart) and $.35 (Walgreens) a blade. And if it's quality you're after, you should be using Feather or Swedish Gillettes. I have used Merkur, and they provide a fine shave, but there are cheaper solutions that do as good of a job.

Beauty : Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor Blades #910


I used the Merkur Super blades for awhile, and they were OK, but they don't compare well to Feather blades. The Feathers are sharper allowing for a closer shave with less irritation.

I decided to give these 4 stars because I haven't found anything that beats them other than the Feather.

Beauty : Merkur Classic Barbor Pole Long Handle Safety Razor #38


I just love the form factor of this razor. It is simply a beautifully engineered device whose form compliments its unparalleled function. This razor is perfect for my style of shaving. It is VERY forgiving allowing a neophyte such as myself to obtain a near perfect BBS shave out of the gates.

I realize there are those who prefer a more aggressive razor. Me, I want one which will provide a close shave and at the same time be forgiving of any lapse of concentration. This is such a razor. I had serious reservations about DE shaving until I put this razor though its paces and it delivered an incredibly close shave with nary a nick and I managed this in the shower without a mirror.

My 1949 and 1951 Super Speeds are nice, but nearly as nice as the 38C. First of all, for me they simply ... Read More

Beauty : Merkur Futur Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor


This is my first double edge safety razor. I have had a difficult time shaving ever since I began growing a beard. I get razor rash, razor burn and irritation like you wouldn't believe. I've tried dry shaving, shaving before I shower, shaving after I shower, etc, etc. I've tried electric razors, disposable razors, 3 blade, 4 blade and even 5 blade razors.

Nothing, and I mean nothing has given me a shave like my Merkur Futur. I no longer suffer from razor burn, rash or irritation. You have no idea how much this has improved my life. I work outdoors at night in cold weather and nothing is worse than a cold face with razor burn. It is so irritating. That discomfort has now been eliminated thanks to my double edge razor.

If this is your first double edge razor I strongly recommed ... Read More

Beauty : Merkur Progress Double Edge Safety Razor


Having shaved with everything from cheapo disposables to Thiers-Issard straight razors, I have to say that the Merkur Progress is probably the best all-around razor available today. It has excellent heft and balance, and the adjustment feature is simple and straightforward. (Although I do agree that the numbered adjustment seems to perform a little differently depending on the blade used.) It is easy to keep clean--assuming you don't mind unscrewing it and taking the blade out to wipe off the head and frame. Having also used a venerable old Gillette "fat boy" from the 1950s, I'd still have to rate the Progress as a better razor; the screw operated adjustment makes it constantly adjustable, not just in steps.

Since this is a safety razor, its performance is significantly dependent on the blades used. I've ... Read More

After perusing many shaving blogs I settled on this as my first DE razor for getting into wet shaving. It was a great choice and only now after 6 months am I starting to try other razors. This is well made, affordable and a good performer with many blade types.
