Product Reviews of the Merkur Model 38 Hd Classic "Barber Pole" Long Safety Razor
Product Review: give DE shaving a shot
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this shaver with derby blades, the cheap tweezerman badger brush and arko shave soap for about two months and must say it's been a very pleasant experience. I switched to DE when the replaceable shavers kept tearing my face up and causing ingrown hairs. To get the full effect of this shaving style you must use either shaving soap or shaving cream that you whip up with a pure badger brush, otherwise you might be kind of dissappointed. I used the merkur blade that came with it and prefer the derbies much better. I tried arko, williams mug and col. cunk's shave soap and found cunk's to be my favorite but I use arko the most. I also tried proraso shaving cream which I enjoy but not as much as the soaps. You must give yourself time to get used to using this shaver or else you will have many nicks and cuts. Your shaves will now take more time but I enjoy them so much that I don't really mind and actually look forward to shaving now. I do think that you can get just as CLOSE of a shave using a good replaceable shaver but they cost SO much more and wear out faster. This setup will save me a lot of money over the years and will also be better for the environment as I can recycle the blades and keep the shaver and badger brush indefinitely. Safety razor shaving is worth it but not a "perfect" shaving experience like alot of others on here state. I think I will be doing it for life though. Check out mantic59 on youtube for an intro into this old fashioned technique.
