Merkur 42C Razor
The finish on this chrome-plated brass razor is flawless and it feels reassuringly solid but not too heavy in the hand. Some have commented on the stubby handle, although it is actually a bit longer than the old Gillette Tech's handle, so this doesn't worry me. You get two blades in the pack, which is a nice touch. I tried the razor with a Wilkinson-Sword classic blade as it the one I know best and got a very satisfying shave. The Merkur gives a very smooth, mild shave and will only nick you if you become careless. I think this would be a terrific razor for someone who wants to get into DE shaving without spending a whole lot of money, but who still wants a high quality product.
