comment
" ...  This one, however is one of the smoothest shaving razors I've ever used, I didn't change my angle or technique like some suggested. ... No cuts, even on first shave with it. ... Bright shiny finish, no burrs, easy to clean and change blades, and a great shave!  ...  "

" ...  In my search for the perfect safety razor I’ve tried Weishi nostalgic, Viking chieftain jr., Viking Chieftain, Edwin Jagger de89, and just about any other razor you can think of. ... Just learn how to use it and soon you’ll find that you can get a very quick, efficient, close shave with this razor in 1 or 2 passes.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Once you get the hang of it though there's no other way other than a straight razor to shave this close. ... This razor provides the closest shave available from a safety razor.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The slant bar results in a smoother and less irritating shave (and the classic already provided a minimally irritating shave) and I think that starting my wet shaving experience with this would have been fine.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I used this with Feather blades and had absolutely no problem on the first shave. ... Just prep your face properly, take your time and let the weight of the razor do the work.  ...  "

" ...  I'm a Black man, and I got the Merkur after hearing how well it works on curly hair. ... I no longer have ingrown hairs or facial irritation, and in between shaves my hair grows back soft (which is a nice change from irritating stubble).  ...  "

" ...  This Merkur gives me the most closest shaved yet it doesn’t cut me as much as other safety razors.  ...  "

" ...  Then I grew a beard and gave the razor to my teenage nephew, who trashed it. ... Cuts close and clean.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have a heavy beard and find this combo really is the most comfortable and fastest way to get through shaving. ... like all DE razors it just takes getting used to the characteristics of the razor/ blade set up.  ...  "
comment
" ...  As a man who shaves his head 3+ times a week and has used many different safety razors none can compete with the Merkur 37c! ... First use, never even knew blade was cutting it was so smooth.  ...  "
