Merkur 39C Double Edge Safety Razor, Slanted Cut, Extra Long Chrome Handle

The Merkur Double-Edge Slant Cut Safety Razor features a unique "slant bar" design, which holds the blade at an angle, allowing it to slice through each strand of stubble at an angle, rather than straight on. This unique design makes the blade more efficient at cutting, and is highly recommended for individuals with coarser beards or with sensitive skin. The angle alleviates some of the pressure on each hair without compromising on performance. This slant cut razor should be held agains the skin with less pressure than a standard double-edge razor, and will yield an incredibly close shave with less skin irritation.

Finished in high-gloss chrome and featuring a long handle, this razor uses Merkur's advanced 2-piece design.

Size: 4"
Weight: 4.25 oz.

About Merkur
Merkur was founded in 1896 by Emil Hermes in Solingen, Germany, but because there were already other cutlery companies in Solingen with the name of Hermes, Emil registered the brand name as MERKUR. Over the years, MERKUR has patented several of its models. Following the early death of his father, Hans Hermes, Dietrich Hermes ran the business during the years of the "economic miracle" together with his uncle Erich Hermes. After Erich's death in the 1970s, Dietrich sold the company MERKUR Stahlwaren to its biggest client, DOVO. Since then, the traditional production of double edge blade razors carrying the brand name MERKUR has continued under the same roof as the equally traditional production of straight razor from DOVO.
