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.
