Product Reviews of Merkur Model 38 Hd Classic "Barber Pole" Long Safety Razor
Product Review: Best. Shave. EVER. (not original, but who cares?)
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched double edged razors after getting fed up with razor burn and grocery store razors that are backed by marketing and advertising instead of results and durability and COST!
I read the reviews here and decided to give it a shot. I wasn't blown away after the first shave; I had been using a Quattro and Jack Black's Beard Lube and at first it seemed like there was no difference.
A full 24 hours passed when I noticed that my face still felt like I just shaved it. 48 hours after the initial shave, I noticed that the razor bumps that usually plague the area under my chin were nowhere to be found. If you're a guy that is prone to razor burn, give this a shot (and stop shaving against the grain).
The shave is so close and smooth; I feel I could go longer than 5 days without shaving. I probably could, but I enjoy shaving now so much that I don't mind doing it more often!
Other things to note:
- The handle isn't that long. Just about 3.5 inches. I'd hate to see what the other handles looked like.
- The quality of the Merkur 38c is impeccable. It looks brilliant in my bathroom and has a nice weight to it.
- I still use Jack Black's Beard Lube. I'll try wet shaving with no soap one day.
Before initial use:
- Mind the angle of the blade before you start using it.
- No need to press the blade against your face.
- Short strokes and rinse often.
- I didn't nick myself the first time, but did get a nasty cut on my pinky.
Product Review: Better than a Weishi
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Weishi and I thought it was good but the Merkur HD is the way to go. Imean there is no comparison! Great Shave! Superlative product. Don't get anything else....Merkuur is worth the price!Product Review: Can't wait to shave
Summary: 5 Stars
Sounds crazy but I really look forward to shaving and doing so for about one twentieth of what it was costing with Gillette. I use the Feather blades but have successfully used the Merkur blade and the Extra. Use highend shaving paste and get the best shaves of my life. Use very little pressure, let the blade do the work. Highly recommend.Product Review: Classic shaving - the way it should be
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this thing. It shaves closer, face feels smoother longer , you gotta be a bit careful, but so what. It is so worth it. And once you get it, the blades don't cost 12 bucks for 4 of them and only really give 3 or 4 good shaves. I go a week before changing the blade on this thing. I can't say enough good things about itProduct Review: Don't Waste your Money!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
The 38c was the first DE razor I purchased. It is a nice simply designed and solidly built piece of equipment; the problem is that for a few dollars more you can get a much better Razor. A Progress or better yet a Futur. Maybe your could just save a few dollars and get an HD; you see where i am going with this; it is just too middle of the road. If you want weight and length just get a Futur, if you want the older style get a Progress or and HD.
The performance is strictly middle of the road also; it does make a great travel Razor though; you won't be that pissed if you lose it.
Lose your Vision or your Futur, you might hurt somebody.
