Review on Merkur 3 Piece Double Safety Chrome Plated by Patricia Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great razor! It's been 6 months and I'm still hooked!

I really like this shaver. I have used a Van der Hagen double-edged safety razor for several years, but over time the opening mechanism rusted and it became almost impossible to replace the blades. (Not to mention that proprietary sized blades are needed and I've found that their quality/sharpness has definitely degraded over time, making my shave painful and bloody even with a fresh blade.) So I have them all Browsed Available Merkur Blades I was a little confused about the different features available but this one was attractive and had good reviews so I just clicked on it. I've been using it for about half a year now and I'm very satisfied. The nice polished rounded tip feels so good against my skin and gives me a very close shave. I bought a sample kit of different brands of razor blades to try out which ones work best for me and to be honest they all did a great job with this Merkur. It's hard for me to say which blades I prefer as this handle always makes my shaves comfortable to the point that I hardly think about it while shaving.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
