Product Description               MERKUR 38C SAFETY RAZOR Safety razor in Barber Pole style by considerable weight, it's a soft and delicate, but very effective razor on the skin. The long and smooth handle fits perfectly to large hands too.

Merkur 38C is a 2 pieces safety razor: it's need unscrew the pawl present on the bottom of the handle, lift the head and insert the blade. Length: 100 mm- handle diameter: 11 mm- weight: 100 g MERKUR-DOVO. Merkur was born in Solingen, Germany in 1896. The factory name owes its name to the messenger of the gods Hermes Romans. Emil Hermes (not surprisingly) is also the name of company's founder. The first razors constructed by Merkur already presented a safety comb in which was fixed a removable wedge-shaped blade that had to be sharpened regularly. During '900 Merkur patented several blades models and all their safety razors are marked with "Made in Solingen" and "Germany". After Emil Hermes's death in 1957, his family carried forward the business. Over the years Merkur production is still very classic , and for this reason, today all Merkur products on the marketplace always keep the same flavor of the past. In 1996 Dovo, the most famous Merkur customer then, takes over the company itself. In fact Dovo and Merkur still continue today the work with two separated productions while being part of the same company.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the handle plastic?**
A: No it is a metal handle. The razor is quite heavy.

**Q: Want to stop using 5 blade shavers is this a good first choice for a safety razor. Than you**
A: The Merkur razor is very well made and a solid piece of kit.  Personally though I found it pretty aggressive when I first moved from multi blade shaving to DE shaving.  I then bought an Edwin Jagger 3D diamond laser razor which came with 5 Feather blades.  I found this a better staring razor for the transition.  Having said all that it depends on your skin and beard so you may not find the Merkur as aggressive as I did.  The Edwin Jagger performs very well for me and a two-pass shave, with and against the grain, gives me a babies bum smooth shave.

**Q: Does anyone know why Amazon has this product 'Under Review' is there an issue or fault with it?**
A: I've had mine for a few years now and never had a problem with it

**Q: I use a fusion but want to give a safety razor a try, but do suffer with sensitive skin, does anyone use this and have sensitive skin and finds it ok?**
A: Its not just the razor but also the shaving soap you use. I am slightly sensitive and changed several years ago to safety razors. I use a good quality (badger) brush and traditional soap and as long as you give your whiskers a good soak with water and soap I expect you'll not have any issues. I was advised to allow around four minutes from first wetting to actually start shaving and I have found this to really work. There are no markings on the face of this razor so it is difficult to know if you shave using both sides of the razor or just one side. I used a drop of my wifes nail varnish to identify this so I get to use both sides of the blades. The razor itself is not particularly large - it does feel rather rather small to me but I am also rather large. If you buy this then its worth buying the leather sheath if you do much travelling. All in all its not a bad razor but I think I would look at a different model - one annoying feature is that I find the end screw, that keeps the whole thing together, keeps loosening despite tightening it often.
