Summary: Wow.
Comment: Excellent product; only one gripe: I was not informed as to how I was supposed to flip the bottom piece of the head up to allow a shave. My first try, I tried scraping with no results, so I shaved with the head slightly loosened and it worked. By this time I was wondering, "How the hell did this get five stars?! There's got to be more to it". Of course there was. Color me stupid, I felt like a dumbass, and finally figured I might as well try flipping the bottom half. Voilla! After that, it was goodbye Gillette, hello Merkur! I Dig the close shave, cheap blades, lather process, as well as the safety cap the razor produces when you flip the bottom half down. I was shaving with the safety on (like an idiot, though I still feel they should tell you to flip it), but once I figures it out, well, I'm guite satisfied. Buy this razor if you like a good, inexpensive, close shave from a classy and built-to last design. Five stars (as it was my own damn fault I couldn't shave right in the first place).

Summary: No more ingrown hairs
Comment: I'm a recent convert to old school shaving. This one was recommended to me because I have large hands. People also recommended the ones with the adjustments on them, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why a tension adjustment is meaningful in shaving. I figure the tensioner was just early an 20th century marketing device to sell more expensive shavers, so I got this one instead. It is a finely made tool, and it shaves as well as anything I've tried. I have a thick beard with very coarse hairs, so have had all kinds of problems with razor burn (with cartridge razors) and ingrown hairs (the drawback of electric shavers, which eventually drove me to the old school). This and a shaving brush is the cure for what ailed me. It takes a bit more attention, but the effort is worth it. I don't think it takes any longer than any other shaves. Certainly the results speak for themselves. As others point out, you do have to do a little research on how to use this kind of tool.

Summary: Top notch quality
Comment: I recently switched to double edge wet shaving and this was the razor I chose. I picked this one because I have larger hands (XL-XXL glove size) and I'm really glad I did. The handle is about 4 inches long and has plenty of room to maneuver my hand to just the right place for a comfortable hold.
The handle has a nice criss-cross etching that provides a very good grip, even with wet hands.
I looked at getting the more popular Merkur HD, but opted for the longer handle of this model. The head is the same as the Merkur HD, so you will get the same great shave from either.
This is a great first double edged safety razor. It's a very good quality metal and construction, should last many many years.

Summary: Never have to buy mach3 razors again!
Comment: My husband has been hinting around that he wanted one of these razors, like what his grandpa used to use. So I bought it for Father's Day for him. He absolutely loves it! And I love how smooth his face is now. No more expensive Mach3 razors!

Summary: Great Shave
Comment: I purchased this razor after reading some other sites saying double edge safety razors would give you a much better shave. I was a little worried though because some people had said it was a lot easier to cut yourself with this type than with a disposable. My worries went away though after my first shave. The Merkur glides over my face well and feels like I'd have to push hard to cut myself. In the past, I noticed I'd get some irritation with disposables and cheap shaving creams, but have found my skin feels great after using this razor with Proraso shaving cream. I totally recommend switching to this kind of razor.
