🪒 Ultimate Shave: Merkur Classic 2-Piece Gold Plated Double Edge Safety Razor Review

I have been using a safety razor for just over a year and this particular Merkur razor is the fourth razor I have bought. Others include the Merkur Slant Bar, the Merkur Classic T-Shirt, and the 1939-47 Gillette Fat Handle Tech by Razor Emporium. Apparently I have small bumps around my jaw and mouth that you can't see, but you can cut them with a razor and bleed. The angled razor is said to be good for certain things, but the razor requires some skill to master as it tends to cut through skin…

I bought my first Merkur, a 34C, in college in the late 70's. I still have this razor and it's probably my most used razor in the last 40 years. I found this in a department store; that was when everyone was crazy about razor cartridges. I have over half a dozen Merkur models and love most of them. However, I recently saw that Mercury had to file for bankruptcy and that their future is unclear (although I think someone will buy them). So I ordered this 34g which is only 34c in a gold bowl…

After enjoying my Merkur 38C Barber Pole DE shaver for months I decided to take a chance and get the shorter 34 series buy my travel bag. I read literally hundreds of DE and Merkur razor reviews, especially before I bought the 38c. I opted for a longer handle when upgrading from a long handle cartridge type. Many spoke about the short handle of the 34 series (both positive and negative). I found I still choke on the 38c long handle for a close shave. The 34G short handle I bought is no problem…

This is a work of art. And it's functional too! I had previously tried the Viking Chieftain and found this blade to be too aggressive and difficult to clean. Since the head of this razor not only opens, but can also be disassembled, all soap residue and stubble can be easily removed with a cotton swab when changing the blade. It gives me a very comfortable, close shave and looks like a luxury item due to the beautiful gold finish. However, at only about $20 for a box of 100 Wilkinson Swords, it

This great two piece safety razor is my first real metal safety razor. Coming from Venus Gillette's pink, overpriced, plastic, multi-blade, cut-away disposable razors, I expected this razor to take a long time to learn. However, it is so easy to use, elegant and well weighted. After using it in the shower for the first time, I had a nice, full, close shave without a single scratch! While not overly aggressive, it's also great for sensitive areas. I am absolutely in love with this amazing…

After falling in love with the Instagram ad for a safety razor site, I knew I had to at least try. I have a serious fear of shaving my legs because no matter what I use it always seems to be painful and I never feel good afterwards. I also hate spending $25 every few months on razors that only give a great shave the first two times I use them. So I searched Revain and found this and figured it was the same razor that was sold at Ouishave for a much cheaper price. I checked out videos on youtube
