 The best alternative saver August 19, 2010

This is a top notch product. I have some rather antique Gillette double edge shavers, one adjustable and one even older. This Merkur is a much better shaver in terms of closeness, kindness to your face, balance and ease of use. Can't go wrong.

I have had this razor for two months (I used to use one like this many years ago). This razor gives a great shave, but only if you don't rush the shave and don't use a lot of pressure during the shave. Let the weight of the razor do the job. Once I learned to not use a lot of pressure when shaving, I got a very close shave....without any cuts or scrapes.
Go long! August 16, 2010

The long handle Merkur is the one to get; it's much easier to control than the standard stubby length.
Great razor! August 10, 2010

I purchased this razor a little over a month ago, however due to a busy work schedule I only had the time to use it a few days ago.
All I can say is "WOW!". This thing cuts VERY CLOSE provided you position the razor at a correct angle to your face. I have done some research online and apparently what you should shoot for is a thirty degree angle from the razor blade's edge to your face. I must admit it is a little unnerving at first shaving with this razor because you can actually hear and feel the whiskers being cut-similar to the sound made if you were to rub your hand over sandpaper. You want to be sure you use plenty of shaving cream and frequently wet the razor either in a filled sink or under the faucet. Also you need to use very short shaving strokes relative to say a mach 3 or another modern razor. This is to ensure that the correct angle is maintained. One final thing to remember is that you don't need to press the razor into the skin to shave closely-you will cut yourself if you attempt this. The weight of this razor is significant relative to today's plastic versions and the weight of it alone is plenty to make good contact with your skin.

Picking this up for the first time, you realize how incredibly heavy it is. This thing looks like it will last forever. My Gillette feels like a toy compared to this one. It is not hard at all to shave with a safety razor and the learning curve is not steep at all. This will be something I will keep for a long time because of its simplicity and cheap blades. The Gillette was costing me almost $2 per cartridge which is ridiculous. I switched a few months ago and haven't looked back.
