Merkur Heavy Duty Long Barber Pole Safety Razor, Chrome

Perfect weight and size. I prefer a long handle one. Really good.

It took about two weeks of practice to get the hang of it, but I'm glad I made the switch. The razor includes a sample platinum-coated merkur stainless steel blade, of which I bought a 10-pack of along with the razor. Shaving every day, each blade lasts me a week without any problems. Definitely a closer, smoother shave with far less irritation than with multi-blade razors. Even if I do nick myself, the cut is very clean and you really feel it, so there's less chance of making it worse by passing over it multiple times. It seldom pulls my skin and always shaves cleanly, so I no longer get razor bumps or irritation of that sort. Specific to the razor model itself, it feels very sturdy and it's heavy, with a nice finish. Putting in new blades is easy, just twist the bottom until you can detach the head at the top, slide in a blade along the guides, put the top back in and screw it tight. It is very consistent in how it angles the blade and the pressure it puts on it, so once you get comfortable with it you will rarely cut yourself. Definitely well made, very pleased with it.

I'm a woman and use this for my legs and armpits, usually with Persona razor blades. This never ever cuts me, and always gives me a fantastic shave. I only replace the blade every month at most! It cuts closer than any other type of razor, and the weight of it makes it easy to hold. IT'S EASY TO RINSE OUT. It holds on to less hair than those 4-5 blade fancy razors, and I can unscrew it DURING my shower a little to easily and safely rinse out hair.

Prodotto Solido, ben costruito. Ci si rade quasi con il solo peso del rasoio. Non mi aspettavo di riuscire a radermi con tanta facilità in quanto è stato il mio approccio ad un rasoio di sicurezza. Rasatura agevole e perfetta anche per una PELLE SENSIBILE come la mia accoppiando il Merkur con lamette ASTRA VERDI. Ovviamente bisogna passare contropelo, ma non lascia irritazioni ed è quasi impossibile tagliarsi. Zero graffietti, nessun rossore, pelle morbida. Da precisare che ho ammorbidito e preparato il viso con acqua calda. Ho utilizzato come pre-rasatura l’olio DAWN OF GLORY e poi come crema da rasatura la WOOD & SPICE Proraso distribuita con pennello EDWIN JAGGER di Tasso. A fine rasatura, balsamo WOOD & SPICE Proraso. Perfezione !!

Mi modelo favorito para maquinilla clásica. Una pena que las cuchillas de Merkur no tengan la misma calidad.

Best razor I've ever owned !
