Product Reviews of Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor
Product Review: After 3 months, still sold.
Summary: 5 Stars
Look, I got tired of throwing away plastic razors, and the clogged heads of two, three and more blades. I actually am old enough to remember safety razors, so I gave this one a shot. It is beautifully made, great feel in the hand, and with a little practice, gives a super shave. Simplicity, quality, and beauty. Highly recommended.Product Review: Amazing Razor!!

Like everyone says this razor is hands down my favorite! I cant believe i was suckered into buying other shavers with 3,4 blades or an Electric Shaver. This razor gives you the closest shave hands down and for the value you cant beat it. If you take your time and you use slow strokes you will enjoy your shaving experience. I threw out all my other Gillete razors in the garbage. This thing is built like a tank. And I expect many many many years of shaving with this Razor. Dont even read more reviews just buy the thing already. :)Product Review: An excellent addition to your shaving routine!

I recently made the change to safety razor shaving, and added this razor to my kit.
I was a little disappointed at the packaging; you get the razor and a sample blade in an unsealed box with no paperwork. Yes, unscrewing the blade holder is simple, and keeping the razor clean and dry when not in use is common sense, but for $30+ I expected at least an insert with care guidelines.
For being "long handled," it's about as long as my dad's old Schick razor (~4 inches). That's not a big deal though; it's more about the feel and quality of the razor, which has a nice weight to it and glides over the more difficult areas (mustache, chin, and Adam's apple) without causing irritation or cutting the skin. I like how you don't have to put any pressure on the razor to slice the hair off; as long as you hold it right, the angle of the blade does the work for you. There's also no clumping as long as you swish/rinse it after every few strokes, even if you're removing a week's worth of beard growth. Overall, it handles and performs much better than the old razor, or the Mach 3 (which just seems awkward after using this one).
Personally, while I think it could be a little cheaper, it does deliver a great shaving experience and was worth the investment.
Product Review: Awesome razor

I gotta say i was a bit unsure how good this razor was gonna be but it has an amazing shave to it... make sure you get the razor blades and the soap and stuff though with it too.. besides that it has an extremly close shave and unlike the gilette fusion i the merkur doesnt leave me any razor burn like the fusion did... these razors are a much better choice than the mainstream ones..= ima just go put my fusion in the closet.. overall a great product :)Product Review: Back to Mach 3
Summary: 3 Stars
A few months ago I gave up on electric shavers after about 30 years of use. I then chose Mach3 razors and a gel shaving cream. Shaves were OK but not great. I was then taken in by the claims of many that the best shave was achieved by an old-fashioned double edge razor of the type I used many years ago. I bought a Merkur razor. It looks OK but could have been better made. It came with one sample razor blade. That blade gave me a rough shave. I discarded it after three shaves and bought a pack of 10 no name blades at my grocery store. I have noticed this same blade at various outlets, all under different house brands. After struggling through 7 of these blades with cuts and razor burn I gave up on double edge shaving and returned to Mach 3. I have been getting an acceptable shave with Mach 3 and Barbasol shave cream. I will not return to double edge shaving and its nicks and irritation. I have often wondered who writes all these rave reviews for double edge shaving!
