A mean yet highly rewarding tool for tough beards and sensitive skin! The Merkur 39C, the the long handled version of the 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! The main difference between this and the 37C is the fantastic long handle with barber pole design (3.75 inches). 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. Important! Before purchasing, please read the Maintenance of Merkur Safety Razors. Please note! This razor is deliberately mis-shapen so before you return it thinking it's defective, please compare the razor to the pictures above.

Customer Reviews

Average Customer Rating   Based on 20 votes Customer Reviews Author: Simon Allen I have left it half a dozen shaves before adding this review. I bought this as it is recommended not just for thick growth (which mine is not particularly) but also for sensitive skin. What a lovely shave / great razor!! It actually looks daunting and as if it would take the side of your head off but, with the usual care and attention, it doesn't. I have moved to this from the 34c and would give this the edge. Although I have small hands, I find the longer handle and extra weight are just right and are easier to use than the 34c. The only complaint was a few nicks with the last shave but that was down to me trying to get an extra shave from the blade rather than the fault of the razor. I find Derby blades are great with this razor. Haven't tried a feather yet!!. Highly recommended and excellent quality. Enjoy!! Author: David Benedict Because of a heart condition I'm on Plavix (blood thinner), which means that any kind of abrasion on my face will result in blood loss. But I find that of my 30+ vintage Gillettes and modern Merkurs, THIS is the one that consistently gives me blood-free shaves. Maybe it's the weight of the head, meaning it needs no additional pressure, but it's proved to be a God-send. I recommend it used with the Israeli blades. Author: Fco. Javier Salamanca After a month of using, this machine has become very quickly in my favourite razor. It´s not agressive at all, just watch the angle and right pressure and it will give you a very good shave free of irritation. Author: Ivan Cousins My first shave with this razor left me with a bit of burn, but after getting some tips on a well known shavers forum i tried again but this time paid more attention to angle and technique and had a wonderful burn free,irritation free and cut free shave, i think this could quickly become a favourite of mine. If you have been thinking of trying a slant bar then don't think about it just do it you wont be disappointed. Author: DEREK RITCHIE I recently purchased this razor from you and with some aprehension , due to the warning in the reviews ,tried it with a feather blade, to my surprise using only the weight of the razor I had the closest shave of my life. I would recommend this razor to any DE shaver, not just the experienced shaver as per the reviews, This has become my favorite shaving tool. AGAIN 1ST CLASS PRODUCT AND SERVICE. Author: Luke Crisford "experienced shaver" i thought my nearly 20 years of shaving with a DE would stand me in good stead but this along with feather blades is a whole different experience. Effortless and the best shave i have ever had outside a barbers PLEASE NOTE: Only account holders are allowed to rate and review products - please log in and revisit this page to add your review.
