  • 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.

  • Excellent razor

    This is a great little razor you can’t go wrong with Merkur products and the short handle is a Boone as a travel razor

  • Took a little getting used to, but I love it!.. "Get one it will save you loads".

    I was sick and tired of paying loads for Gillette Mag3 cartridges so I thought I would try a more traditional and cost effective approach. As I have a bit of a Goatee I did at first find it a little tricky maneuvering around the hair of my chinny-chin-chin. but within a couple of days I had mastered it and I believe i get as good a shave as I used to from the old Mag3, of course at just at a fraction of the price. The thing I love most about this razor is that it seems to be precision made, has a good weight and I love the short handle which is great for grip and maneuvering. In fact this razor is so solid that when my time comes I shall probably pass it down to my son and he can do the same with his...

  • Excellent safety razor. Classics of shaving.

    This razor a took a worthy place in my collection. One of my favorite safe razors. Moderately aggressive. Only native blades are is none. I a put the "Astra" green and it became better.

  • Super Little Razor

    Super little razor, but the handle is a little too short, so takes a while to adapt to this feature. Great quality, and comes complete with blade. I’ve taken a star off, because of the shortness of the handle. But regardless of this, super little razor.

  • Best shave ever!

    Hands down the best and smoothest shave I've ever had. I'll never go back to cartridge razors now.

  • Small but perfectly formed

    Same Merkur quality but the handle is maybe a tad too short. Good as a travel razor.

  • A very good razor for this price

    I'm very satisfied with this razor. It shaves very smoothly, without skin redness and irritation. I'd advise it for people who start shaving with classic T-form razors. Moreover blade's price is really cheap and it worth buying
