Merkur 39C Sledge Hammer Safety Razor Slant Bar

The Sledge Hammer! Fastest way to a close shave.

Greetings Shave Nation, This is my first review after 3 years of wet shaving. Recently bought the Merkur 39C also known as the Sledge Hammer. I do enjoy a close shave, I also like a shave that leaves my face without irritation. The 39C does both easily. I have shaven with 3 days of growth and this razor has done the job easier than any of the other razors I have. Before using the 39C I was shaving with the well known Muhle 41. The 39C I find slices through beard growth faster and with less effort. The blade I have been using is the Accuthrive Prep Blade.The 41 leaves me with just the smallest margin closer shave. If any of my fellow wet shavers are on the fence about the 39C I say purchase and you won’t regret. The only change that would make this razor better would be a little more grip. I would like to thank Sam and Geo for starting and helping many of us on a wonderful journey! Shave Nation is an amazing company and a pleasure to do business with! God bless and thank you. Sincerely, Peter

Best Razor

Amazing, I finally reached the Holy Grail of shaving “Merkur 39c Slant Razor. I also own the Merkur Futur, but even this is going to be getting an early retirement to my storage cabinet, So, if you need a razor that is just a bit aggressive this is the one.

Poor snotty service

I live in South Africa and ordered it because their website says they use ups which is in my country. What's also in my country is the South African post office which is as corrupt as can be. So shave Nation sends it to our post office and not with ups. Now the razor is missing as it was handed over to the SA post office on the 6th of January. When I asked shave Nation why they didn't use ups as advertised they told me they don't control shipping companies or government entities! But they say they use ups FALSE ADVERTISING AND POOR SERVICE. As I don't have more Rands to spend 17 to 1 to the dollar the old man will have to go without his birth day gift...
