Heavy Adjustable Razor Chrome Stainless Steel

Wanted a heavier and longer razor and this one had loads of positive reviews. I must say, I can see why, the quality is fantastic and I find shaving more effortless with the heavier feel. Should be the last razor I buy as this will last longer than I will, solidly built.

Wonderful product. The weight, design, style, and function are top class. I can easily recommend to anyone.

After years of shaving with a multi-blade, and eventually finding it difficult to find cartridges for my Gillette Sensor, I decided to go "old-school" and shave like my grandfather... so, I took it one step further and went straight-blade. I did pretty well and only cut myself a few times, though they bled pretty good. I went with a Parker SR1 with disposable blades since I didn't want to face the hassle of honing and stropping. At the same time, my sweet bride decided she would also like to change over to the single blade, so I bought her an Edwin Jagger DE 89lbl Safety Razor. She raved about it from the beginning and still loves it. After a year, I got tired of the time commitment to shaving with a straight razor, so I broke down and tried my wife's DE Safety. It did great! Much better than I anticipated. Close shave, not a nick. I immediately began my search for my own, and after a few days research, decided on this quality instrument. I have no complaints with the purchase. It is exactly what I was hoping for. It is heavy. It feels good in the hand. It is consistent - cuts well on both sides, with no surface abnormalities. I have used it with a variety of blade brands (great deals to be found on Amazon.com for variety packs!) I saw no concerns with the manufacturing (checked all joints with it dismantled, etc.). It is a well-made quality shaving instrument. The only minor dislike I have is that it is not 100% stainless... but I knew that going in to the purchase. I have gotten the closest shaves ever using this instrument. And, a few days ago, I went ahead and shaved a 2nd time "up" after the first time "down"... my rugged face was a smooth as a baby's hiney. This is a quality piece of manly equipment. A few further bits if information: 1) The razor does not cut... the blade does. The razor's job is to hold the blade and hold it well. This does that job very well and very consistently. 2) I am a big guy [6'2", 300#, with good sized hands] and it is comfortable in the hand with a nice "heft" to it. You know you are holding something of substance when you shave. 3) It has strong heat-retention. When you rinse the head under hot water, that heat WILL transfer to your face, so be careful. 4) If you are expecting to have an out-of-body experience or the heavens to part and angels to sing when you shave, you are probably overestimating the importance of the shave experience. It is a shave. Period. But it is nostalgic nonetheless. Highly recommend this razor! If they end up making an all-stainless version, I will probably eventually buy it, but I don't see this one wearing out in my lifetime or my kids' lifetimes. Buy it. You won't regret the purchase.

Merkur e' sinonimo di qualita' e questo rasoio,pesante,bellissimo e funzionale e' ai vertici del catalogo di questo ottimo produttore.Dal punto di vista funzionale,essendo un pettine chiuso poco aggressivo, sarà opportuno armarlo con una lametta molto tagliente tipo Feather o similari per non vanificare le sue ottime potenzialità.Per chi desidera un prodotto di classe,e questo Merkur ne ha da vendere,acquisti questo prodotto e non se ne pentirà.

La he comprado para mi pareja ya que deseaba este tipo de maquinilla, tiene una piel muy sensible y es de barba gruesa y tupida...y ha ido genial, con una o dos pasadas queda listo y se nota que la irritación es mucho menor. La maquinilla como tal se ve de muy buena calidad, buen peso y bonita a la vista. Encantados con el producto, recomendable...!!!!

Der Rasierhobel ist relativ schwer, macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck und liegt wirklich prima in der Hand. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Le rasoir pèse 150 grammes et mesure 100 mm de longueur totale. Il est en 2 pièces, mais peut quand même se démonter complètement en trois pièces, la partie large de la tête est fixée au manche grace à un ressort dans le manche. La lame dépasse suffisemment et est assez inclinée pour assurer une coupe précise et rapide, ce qui limite le nombre de passages. Le rasage est parfait sans ou avec de très rares coupures. J'ai essayé plusieurs marques de lames, et toujours un résultat impécable ; mais ma préférence revient aux lames Feather, malgré une peau très sensible. Pour la prise en main, j'apprécie la forme bombée du manche ainsi que son poids. Cette forme donne aussi toute son originalité à ce rasoir. J'ai testé plusieurs rasoirs de type sécurité et pour moi ce modèle est le meilleur. A tel point que j'ai rasé une barbe de 15 jours sans aucun tiraillement ni cette sensation qu'on arrache les poils. Le tranchant était net et sans bavure, aucune rougeur, aucune démangeaison, même avec ma peau très sensible et une barbe des plus dures. Une astuce pour améliorer le maintient : mettre l'auriculaire sous la base du manche.
