Author: Mert Ilhan This is the first "proper" DE that I bought, and I can advise it to any new-starter or veteran of wet-shaving. After trying some cheap Chinese DE variants, being unsatisfied by the experience, I took my chance with Merkur, which seems to never fail its customers. The hardest part was the "Which Merkur to start?" and after long hours of research, it was between 34 and 38C. As this is the new 38C with enhanced features (combining the best features), it was pretty easy to call last decision.
The 2-piece structure is same with 38C, a crucial point in replacing the razor blades. The blade is hefty, which is totally necessary for blade to cut the beard (not forcing the user to "scrape off"). All you need is to glide the blade, and it will be a German piece of art in your hand.
Long handle is something desired for people with bigger hands, but it does not create any problems with guys with smaller ones.
In summary, Merkur does it again, and delivers what "Solingen" stands for in wet-shaving...
