Switched from a Butterfly to 3 piece, much improved.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024

I switched to a safety razor a few years ago with a simple butterfly. It worked okay, note the closest of shaves, but generally better than the disposables. I read about the tolerances being less with a three piece and tried this Merkur. Very please so far. Seems like less blade chatter when shaving and closer shave using the same blade.

Fantastic Razor that holds up

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024

In the past, I used a skull shaver to shave my head and it didn’t get as close of a shave as I desired and I dropped it one time and it broke entirely. I bought this razor and I’ll never go back. Shaving with this razor I can achieve a much closer shave and I’ve had it for years and never had any rust or any problem whatsoever with it. It’s super easy to unscrew and replace the blades or wash out the hairs that get inside of it. I really love using this to shave my neck, as well. Since it is double-sided I usually use one side to shave half my neck and flip it over to do the other side. Doing it this way, I don’t even have to rinse it off until I am done. Also, it only needs razor blades so if your blade begins to dull you can just throw another inside. It doesn’t get more affordable than that to get a great shave.

Best shave I've ever had

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024

Verified Purchase

Not sure why I was ever using cartridge razors.
It's extremely dry where I live and shaving always meant incredibly irritated skin afterwards. But this razer holds the blades so much more steady than a cartridge, it just glides through . No more burning skin with aftershaves or oils and lotions. Not the closest shave I've ever had, but very worthwhile for me. I can happily shave more often too as good double edge blades last a few uses and are way cheaper, especially here on Amazon.

Personally using Feather brand blades now, but the one included Merkur blade worked well with the razor too just to start with. Definitely recommend getting a recyclable blade bank too if you're newly switching to safety razors.

It is an easy to shave razor.

Quite simply a really good razor I’ve never had an issue using it. Leaves the skin smooth, not irritated at all. I’ve even tried multiple passes and no irritations whatsoever. Definitely recommend to a beginner or an advanced shaver, top-tier.

Why does blade stick out on both (short) side?

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I purchased this double edge razor and found it to give me probably the best shave I have ever had with any DE razor.
However, if I hold the razor by its head, for example when I unscrew the handle, I was surprised to see that the blade sides jut out so that when I am holding the head by its side I feel the razor blade sides sticking out on each side. That is a very uncomfortable feeling, which does not exist with other DE razers that I have used. Seems very strange to me, since this is otherwise excellently engineered.

I live this razor.

I bought another brand that left cuts on my face. This one will not do it unless you are in a hurry and not paying attention. The blades, especially the Merkur blades, are extremely sharp, durable, and last for multiple shaves. In addition, the multi-pack blades of a 100 are the bargain of the day. I would never go back to those store bought plastic razors. I have a draw full of ones I never used more than a couple of times!!!

Merkur 43c with long handle

This model is supposed to be like the Merkur 34c with a long handle. For me the short handle works best.

Merkur 23C Double Edge Safety Razor (Closed Comb) & MORE!

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

I bought the Merkur 23C Double Edge Safety Razor on Nov 17, 2023, after having bought my first double edge safety razor of another brand on Oct 21, 2023, which cut me up really good, blood everywhere! Being new to double edge safety razor, I decided to do some research, and from my research, everyone said to buy the Merkur 23C Double Edge Safety Razor if you are new to double edge safety razors. When I received my Merkur 23C on Nov 18, 2023, I unboxed it, and shaved with it for the first time, and got NO CUTS, and NO BLOOD, just a perfect shave! The Merkur 23C closed comb razor is not a real aggressive razor, so I did have some problems in spots that were hard to get to! So on Dec 8, 2023, I bought the Merkur 25C open comb razor, which is a more aggressive razor, It solved my problems with the hard to get to spots! So I suggest having both the Merkur 23C closed comb razor, and the Merkur 25c open comb razor! I am very pleased with having both of those razors !! There are to many variables as to what the best blade is for each user, but my favorite blade is the Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades! FIVE STARS for all three items mentioned in this review! After 40 years of shaving, I finally enjoy shaving !! This is the only way to shave, and the most economical way to shave!! I feel so ripped off by the shaving products that I have used for the last 40 years !! Make the switch to a Double Edge Safety Razor, TODAY !! GOOD LUCK, AND HAPPY SHAVING !!

Excellent Choice for Beginners, Superior Shave

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

As a first-time user of a safety razor, I must say, switching to this Double Edge Safety Razor has been a revelation. I've previously used multi-blade razors and electric shavers, but this product has outperformed them all.

The construction of the razor is impressive – it feels solid and well-made in hand, reassuring me of its durability and quality. Its design also lends itself to a comfortable and close shave, something I've come to appreciate with each use.

One of the most notable aspects is how it has reduced the risk of cuts. Despite being new to safety razors, I haven't really cut myself yet, which speaks volumes about the user-friendliness and safety of this razor.

However, there's a slight area for improvement. I wish the knurling on the handle was a bit rougher for a more secure grip, especially when handling with wet hands. While it's not a major issue, a rougher texture could enhance the control and comfort during the shave.

In conclusion, this Double Edge Safety Razor is an excellent choice for anyone looking to delve into the world of safety razors. It provides a superior shave compared to conventional multi-blade or electric options and is constructed with great care. A little more grip on the handle would make it perfect, but even as is, it's a fantastic product that I highly recommend.

Good for mild shave. German made.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

Verified Purchase

This safety razor is very mild. This razor takes up to 4 passes to get a good shave. The handle is a little too skinny and too light. This would be ideal as a travel safety razor. Same great quality as other Merkur safety razors. I will still give this a high rating but it is worth it to spend 10$ more on a much better Merkur razor in the same line such as the Merkur 34C ( weighted, better shave)
