Never going back to disposable razors – I was using cheap multi blade disposable plastic razors before, but after using this for a fee months now, I will never go back. This thing so far has been great. Quality is good for the price. Definitely recommend for a first double edged razor handle.

Great for beginners – My first safety razor was a Van Der Hagen, and I nicked myself every time until I got the hang of it. You definitely need to use shorter, lighter strokes when shaving with a safety razor and let the weight of it be the only pressure you use. Even after I got the hang of it however, it was still giving me a less than ideal shave, so I decided to try this Merkur with a longer handle. I wasn’t disappointed! The safety bar really makes it easy to get the correct angle, and even if you use a heavier hand than recommended, it’s still difficult to hurt yourself. I bought a sample pack of different brands of razor blades to experiment and figure out which blades work best for me and I recommend doing that if you’ve never used a safety razor before. Please note: The first one I ordered here (“ships from and fulfilled by Amazon”) but was sent a different Merkur model with a short handle and it came USED in a Ziploc sandwich baggie even though I ordered a new one. Eew. I returned it, and ordered from a different website entirely, but the accessories for it I did order on Amazon with no problem: sampler pack of blades, alum bar, shave soap dish, shave brush and metal stand for the brush and razor.

Damned near perfect. – Decent quality and workmanship. Since finding wet shaving, I started with a few antique Gillette’s and landed on a super basic Edwin Jagger as my daily driver. Thought it was too agressive until I swapped the blades someone recommended to me for something more forgiving blade (Rapira). It’s been pretty smooth sailing since then but I have felt myself wanting for something less slippery and hard to grip from time to time. I’d heard that the basic Merkur head cut similly or identicaly to the EJ but had a better knurled longer handle better suited to my XXL ham fists.

A Match Made In Heaven With Feather Blades – I have tried 3 different Razors using the Super Sharpe Feather Blades, and the only Razor that would leave me without a Bloody neck was a Adjustable $75.00 Merkur Futur, which I had to use on the lowest setting with poor results, Anyways I read all the reviews on this 23C, and I could not be happier with the results and close shave I got using a Feather Blade, The only thing I would like to see is the same model with a Fatter Handle for my Fat OLD hand, But I can live with it, I have 3 other Brands of Blades I’m going to try in it, and I will get back with and update on how they work out in the near future.

Well crafted and worth the money – Gorgeous razor. Incredibly build quality and easy to clean and disassemble/reassemble. Definitely a razor that is worth the money and is going to last you a long time, if not a lifetime of properly cared for. This may not be for everyone, though. Your mileage may vary. For me, I got a lot of cuts with this razor handle when I first started, granted a lot less than my previous one (but that could also be part of my terrible technique lol). Ultimately, I switched over to the Leaf Razor because I just discovered safety razors (at least those with this type of build) wasn’t for me and I preferred a hybrid of the safety razor blades and the cartridge razor handle. But, I will always keep this on the side with me. This is an excellent razor, so definitely give it a shot. If this doesn’t work, or if you find frustrations with safety razors, try out the Leaf one, you may like that.

Great razor – New too safety razor shaving, but it is very easy with this razor. Get a good set of blades and you will have no issues. Very well made.
