About this deal

Rounding out this list is the Futur Adjustable Gold-Plated Razor. Every Merkur safety razor is a high-class product, so why not be a little flashy? Possessing a thinner handle than traditional brushes, the Future gives more targeted and precise lathering with a beautiful chrome finish. It also improves your grip, with the indented groove ensuring you'll never have to fear dropping your brush in the wettest of conditions. Handle – The short and slim handle is finely knurled. While this offers enough grip it does not offer as much as deeply knurled types, although they are usually heavier and may require more grip while the Merkur 15c is a fairly light razor. Three parts – This razor is a three part unit that comes apart after unscrewing the handle which removes the head, the top cap, and the bottom comb. These types are very easy to get clean and looking new when taken apart and cleaned. Just know that this is one of the more difficult razors to use. For that reason, it is often best to only use the Futur Brushed Chrome if you have experience using safety razors.

As the name suggests, this model comes with an incredible gold finish that truly shines. There is nothing wrong with Merkur’s other silver-finished items, but the gold is truly something special. It is also worth mentioning that the engraved handle offers a non-slip grip. That makes this model perfect for people who like to shave in the shower or whose hands often get wet frequently during the shaving process.

THE PERFORMANCE

The next razor, the Merkur 34Ccontinues the high-quality trend of the above models in a big way. This device, which is a 2-piece double edge safety model, offers a wide range of features to create one of the sturdiest models on this list. In a safety razor head, these blades are sandwiched between two plates, the bottom one putting pressure on the centre of the blade, gently bending it to create a cutting angle. If you like to customize your shaves (and who doesn’t?), you can also adjust the 23C to your exact specifications. This is similar to the features on the 2000 Vision, and they always give you the shave you want. This adjustable-gap double edge razor has a special snap-on cap design that adds to the overall aesthetics and furthers the high standard set by the color.

Something else to note is that, as with all of the other razors on this list, the Futur is perfectly balanced. As for the shave, the closed-comb head of the DE89 delivers a similar experience to the Mercur 34C. It’s comfortable and feels precise, but even with fresh blades you do need to go over an area a few times to get a really close shave. The case ensures you know how elegant and seamless the razor is right off the bat. First impressions are important, and this model nails that. Without a blade inserted, the Merkur 42C DE Safety Razor has a total weight of 66g, and a total length of 82mm. Double-edged – Like most safety razors each side of the head exposes the blade allowing a user to switch between either side when shaving and then rinsing.Open comb – The bottom safety bar on this razor is open comb which means rather than having a straight bar it has teeth that expose the razor. The open comb makes cutting through long growth easy and helps shaving debris to not become clogged in the blade area.

All you need to do is twist the blade house open and drop a new one inside. Two steps and you’re off and shaving. In terms of the way it performs, the Scimitar sits just above razors like the classic Merkur 34c and the Edwin Jagger DE89 for aggressiveness and below the mid and high settings of adjustable razors such as the Merkur Futur. That’s due to a slightly wider gap between the blade and the safety bar. If you tend to grow your stubble a bit longer between shaves, you’ll find this cuts through more hair on a single pass as a result. The bigger gap also makes it easier to clean. an assembly of four unique products that'll look gorgeous on any grooming enthusiast's shelf. Compiling a stand, razor and brush, with each possessing a reflective chrome finish, the items are perfectly offset by a clouded glass bowl for a truly modern and high quality assembly.

All safety razors operate on the same general principles, but there are several different types available. You will also notice that this is one of the more affordable Merkur safety razors around. The company makes great products but many command a high price. Though it is easy to get caught up in the exterior of this razor, do not get fooled into thinking that’s all it can offer. The features are an exception as well. First, the handle is completely finished in chrome. As with all of the other models on this list, that gives it a unique look you’ll be proud to own.

Bear in mind that each of these will have a slightly different sharpness and feel to it. My blade of choice is the Astra Superior Platinum because it gives a close shave, lasts a couple of weeks and isn’t too sharp, so I don’t need to worry too much about being precise with my technique. The razor also has a safety bar (necessary for keeping your face safe and cut-free) as well as an open and closed comb. The Merkur Futur 761 Chrome Finish is delivered in a Merkur branded cardboard box with a single Merkur razor blade. Add to basket The safety razor shave is achieved through gentle scraping movements vertically towards the cutting edge. Horizontal movements of the blade should be avoided as they can lead to injuries. The edge of the comb serves to stretch the skin tight, so all whiskers are reached. The weight of the razor facilitates the gliding motion without the need for additional pressure. As with a straight razor, it is optimal to move the blade in a 30° angle to the surface of the skin. It is generally advised to hold the razor close to the head, but different handle lengths and weights allow for experimentation. Coupled with a long, slim handle that’s textured to provide plenty of grip, and Merkur’s usual top-notch build quality, the Merkur 25C makes a great choice for beginners and more experienced safety razor users alike. While it can’t quite give you as close a shave as the Merkur Futur, the 25C delivers a shave with about the same level of closeness as the classic 34C.All of that blends together to make one of the smoothest and cleanest shaves you’ll ever get. Regardless of age or face type, this cuts clean. The great weight gives it a good feel in the hand, but it also means you don’t have to work too hard while shaving.
