This was intended to replace my open-comb merkur. It lived up to the quality standards that I was accustomed to- it's extremely heavy, it feels great in your hand, and the adjustable head is extremely smooth.... like a high-end automobile. However, it's a sandwich design, so the top of the head just pops off like a pen cap, and the spring mechanism that holds it in place seems like it could wear out in due time, so no passing it down to the next generation I don't think. Also, it has a big head, and it's extremely difficult to get under your nose; I read this before ordering the product thinking that perhaps the other reviewers were incompetent, however I misjudged, because it simply misses a good 1/4" under your nose due to the size (though this gets smaller the more aggressive the setting). As a side note, this thing is brass, and if you drop it you'll see exactly how soft brass is.

All in all, I went back to my old Merkur- it was much easier to handle and gets every place you need it to, but I can't say anything else bad about the futur.

This is the best razor that has ever touched my face. Like every other american, I was sucked in to the more blades is better bs that schick and gillete sell. But, my face still got chopped and burned. Do you know how many blades you need for the best shave? Its definitely not 3 or 4. This double edge razor is very sharp, and when used correctly, will deliver the best shave you ever had. It has a nice weight to it; its not made of plastic. You have to control the shave, and angle it properly. You can change the angle of the blade too with the adjuster on the handle. It will take a week or two to get used to, and you will get some nicks when starting, but its worth it. You will end up having the best shaves ever. If you plan to get this, toss out the edge gel too, and buy some serious shave cream or shave soap. I personally suggest using this with shave soap and a badger brush for the ultimate shave, and some brave soldier code blue for after shave. Make sure to toss the blade that comes in the box, and buy a few extra packs of blades. If you are not sure if this is for you, dont second guess. Theres alot of info on the net about this razor; its very well reviewed. After using it, you will convince your friends to buy one.

I ordered this razor for my boyfriend for Christmas . The original package was opened and being taped back up, and it looks beat up. At first I thought it was used. They swapped the original razor blades with some cheap blades and Jammed back into the packaging. I was so embarrassed to give my boyfriend this as a Christmas gift, but with no days left I ended up with no gift!
