I’m already own a Merkur 37C and decided to upgrade to a slant head as my work requires me to shave daily - sometimes twice daily. I had heard that the slant head gives a closer shave to a stiffer bristle which would hopefully do away with the second daily shave. If I’m honest, I don’t find it shaves any closer, but it does still give me the same excellent shave. So my son has now inherited my old one. Excellent quality razor but needs to used with care until you get used to it. The choice of top quality blade is crucial as I’ve already discovered to my cost ⛑

This arrived quickly, had a good weight to it, is clearly well-designed and opened up easily. I used it with a feather blade, some shaving oil and some Gilette shaving soap. The feather blade seems to make the most substantial difference. One needs to be careful with initial positioning and contact. I found, however, that I still needed several passes with, across and against the grain of my facial hair to achieve a smooth outcome, especially under the left jaw line and mid-neck (I'm right-handed). The result was quite a raw finish. I'm going back to less costly and time-consuming foam and Bic sensitive disposables and selling this purchase on.

Excellent quality product. This gives a super close, comfortable shave - as good as razors many times the price. Does require a little experience, but nothing to be frightened of - very comfortable and efficient rather than aggressive. A lovely razor, could be your one and only!

Basically the Merkur 37c is a slant bar, short handled, two piece razor. It’s well made, with good fit and finish. Some people say that it is an aggressive razor but I’ve never found it so. I’d would recommend this razor to any potential cartridge razor convert, providing you take your time and let the razor do the work. You could take the advice of the so called experts and buy a Merkur 34c or DE89 as I did, and within a couple of weeks wish you’d bought something a little more efficient. The razor works well with a good quality soap and most DE blades will give you a reasonable shave. However I have found that this razor excels with the Astra Superior Platinum blades, giving a very smooth yet close shave.

Very smooth & easy to use razor. With right technique not aggressive at all! Even beginners can use it. The secret is to place blade correct (just google it). Also the head finish is 3-4 stars, but I don't care about it =)
