Handle with care! A mean yet highly rewarding tool for tough beards and sensitive skin!
The Merkur 37C is a serious bit of kit designed for the more experienced DE shaver for an extremely close shave. The slanted head exposes more of the blade at one end and is very similar to the cutting angle of a straight (cut-throat) razor. This means it is ideal for cutting through heavy beards and tough stubble. It is also highly regarded as one of the best DE razors for sensitive skin sufferers because of the way it shaves. It's heavy head means that the experienced shaver only has to use light pressure to get the best shave of his life!
Comes in a Merkur branded cardboard box with a single Merkur blade.
Please note! We weren't joking when we said this razor is for the more experienced shaver! Even Tom uses it with caution but knows that he's going to get a fantastic shave if he treats it with the respect it deserves.
Author: Richard These Slant Bars have a bit of a reputation for being not for the faint hearted. I took the plunge as I wanted a razor that could cope with my very dense and course beard with as few passes as possible as I’ve got girly sensitive skin! This razor certainly has a bit of blade exposure and its definitely more angle critical than my 38C Barbers Pole – but the upside is that it delivers a seriously close shave. It’s nicely balanced and once you’ve got the hang of it, doesn’t feel quite as scary as you may have been led to believe. If you’ve got your DE shaving technique sorted, you’ll have nothing to fear from this razor and if my experience is anything to go by will give excellent results.
Author: Gary Ward Dont be scared of buying this razor. It is simply the best double edge razor I have ever used. Gives a really smooth shave with zero irritation if used with applying no pressure against the skin. I have really sensitive skin and a tough ginger beared, and with this razor I have eliminated the problems I had with razor burn and ingrown hairs.
Author: Tom This is my first high quality razor. Comparing it to the £2 Chinese made rubbish I used so far, it is a dream come true. Not a single cut, no razor burns no irritation what so ever. I took it to a 3 day stubble and in just 3 passes it took it all off -- BBS. So far I have only used the Israeli made bonus blades but I don't think it will be a disappointment when I switch to the feathers. Michells wool fat soap goes great with this razor.

Author: Roland Carlile After using all sorts of razors over the years decided to try the slant out .I am really pleased ,really close shave ,looking at it close up looks quite scary with the blade showing a little more at one end ,the handle is a good weight with plenty of grip.Finish is of top quality as well , With no pressure at all took off two days growth.i used the free merkur blade that came with it .Will now try out a few differant blades over the next few months.
Author: Matthew Moran I started using this razor recently and yes it is fairly aggressive and will take me some time to adapt to especially using feather blades (the sharpest blades I've ever used).
It is a worthy investment but beginners should work there way up to using this type of razor from a more standard merkur or parker de safety razor.
My verdict buy it!
