Merkur 47C Safety Razor Flat Bar Long Handle

Merkur 47C Review

The construction of this razor is flawless. I have an Edwin Jagger and a Parker razor that had some construction flaws that I worked around (safety bar pins not being straight, not best consistency of blade reveal on either side). I bought those from Amazon, so maybe that was a bit of buyer beware. The 47C is milder than I thought it would be, but I shave my face and head every day, so don't mind that too much. The angle I need to use for the razor is a touch different than then the Edwin Jagger that I have, so I am getting used to being more efficient about that (I have only been using it for three days now). Even with the feather blade, I would only give this about a 5 on the aggressiveness scale, but the razor itself if very high quality.

Great looks but not so great performance.

Handsome razor but extremely mild even with a feather blade. If you had to shave every day, this could be your razor. No nicks,no cuts and no irritation. But in my case, I had to go for a four pass shave.
