Product Reviews of 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.Product Review: great razor
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this razor. I have been using it for two weeks now and it is giving me a great three pass shave everytime. It is made superbly and feels so solid. It has the same head as the HD but just gives a closer shave everytime.Product Review: secret to shaving
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally have found the secret weapon to shaving. As girl I have struggled with stupid razors never being sharp enough or last long enough. They would also get clogged and be utterly useless. So I started thinking about the old barbers and how they shave men's faces so close. That research let me to this glorious tool. It is easy to put blade in and out just screw the bottom. It does not get clogged and if it does, just rinse or open a bit and rinse. IT is only takes one or two strokes. It is super sharp but I haven't really cut myself at all. It is heavier so it helps shave as you go, don't need to drag it like most razors. Also the packaging is very minimal and the blades are biodegradable. Takes one little investment and now i am set for a year of shaving. I consider myself a pretty environmentally aware person so this fits me beautifully. I knew their had to be a better way than to shave than what American society pushes at us...all that fifty million blade crap. I am so happy with this product and almost want to keep it a secret to all the women out there just so that the price doesn't decide to jump on the replaceable razors. Heres to happy shaving.Product Review: throw your mach 3 away..... no really
Summary: 5 Stars
im 16 and have used a mach 3 since it came out, and then the mach 3 turbo, with a few differt gels and aways had razor burn on neck from it. but with this its scary how close you can get, and maybe if you read this i can save you some learning curve. DONT PUSH DOWN, let the blade do the work, un learn your bad habits, and you will LOVE THIS BLADE, i had 2 mach 3's i sold to a friend with blades for a few bucks. you might want to try Meckur and dansin blades but there are alot of types to try and find what works best on your face, also dont skimp on the lather, its cheap and worth the good stuff, also badger brush is a must, i got a cheap one at first and the hairs fall out.... you get what you pay for.
Your grandpa was on to something with these.... dont buy in the corprate hype, i have yet to get that painful "pulling feeling" anymore from letting it grow too long.
all in all its WELL worth a try!
