Merkur Black Handled Double Edge Safety Razor

The Merkur 2-Piece double edge safety razor design is a classic that is durable, easy to clean, and simple to use. It features an elegantly chromed closed-comb straight bar head with a standard fixed blade gap. The razor has an extra-long, heavy-weighted (4") smooth handle finished in stunning black. Merkur double edge safety razors offer the closest possible shave without the skin irritation sometimes experienced with multi-blade cartridge razor systems. These razors are compatible with inexpensive, recyclable double edge razor blades, saving you money while being environmentally friendly.

Manufactured in Solingen, Germany, Merkur razors are precision instruments designed to last a lifetime. When shaving, it is important to always hold the razor at about a 30-degree angle and to not apply pressure; instead, let the weight of the razor do the work. Shave in the direction your hair grows, also known as "with the grain," to help prevent irritation and razor bumps.
