Product Information

It is also worth mentioning that the engraved handle offers a non-slip grip. That makes this model perfect for people who like to shave in the shower or whose hands often get wet frequently during the shaving process.

As the name suggests, this model comes with an incredible gold finish that truly shines. There is nothing wrong with Merkur’s other silver-finished items, but the gold is truly something special. The construction is very solid, so there is no flexing, or twisting when shaving and the satin finish allows it to just glide along the skin. The razor's body is fairly heavy, almost no pressure is needed to shave. Merkur Razors are well built and will become your lifetime shaving companion.

Merkur 42C DE Safety Razor is a chrome plated brass double edge safety razor based on the classic Gillette 1904 model. Its hexagonal handle is coated with engraved chrome for improved grip and a retro style. The razor head, collar, and end cap are finished with polished chrome. This is a three piece razor where the top plate and base plate can be separated for easy blade insertion and razor maintenance. A classic, stylish razor offering the famous Merkur shave. In addition, this is one of the easier to use razors. Though some safety razors can be a bit complicated (especially when you get higher up in price), it is always nice when you can buy something and make use of it right away. Established in 1896 in Solingen, Germany, Merkur has always held true to its core values of quality, innovation, and tradition. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every meticulously crafted razor and shaving accessory we produce. Each product is a masterpiece, blending German engineering prowess with a passion for delivering the perfect shave. The latest addition is the Cutlass which, like its Scimitar razor, is finished in dark, polished grey and has the Bluebeard’s Revenge skull-and-crossbones logo engraved smartly on the head. As with most safety razors, the Cutlass comes in three parts: the handle, base plate and top plate. Blades are replaced by unscrewing the handle and taking all of this apart, then reassembling afterwards.

The razor has a great weight as well. While it is not the lightest model you’ll encounter, it is perfectly balanced. That then translates to the shave, giving you a close, clean cut. It is also quite strong, holding up for a shave after shave.

As you embark on your grooming journey with Merkur, you become part of a tradition that honours the art of shaving and elevates it to a luxurious experience. Embrace innovation and discover the epitome of grooming excellence with Merkur – your trusted companion for a lifetime of luxurious grooming experiences. The Futur also has a number of useful extra features. To access and replace blades, the top pops off instead of unscrewing – simply lever one end off with your thumb. It’s also adjustable, allowing you to tweak the angle of the blade and the size of the gap between the razor’s edge and the safety bar below it. Just twist the bottom part of the handle. Handle – The short and slim handle is finely knurled. While this offers enough grip it does not offer as much as deeply knurled types, although they are usually heavier and may require more grip while the Merkur 15c is a fairly light razor. This makes regular maintenance very important - using a soft brush to remove light build-up and occasionally degreasing with hair shampoo or washing-up liquid prolongs the lifespan of the metal razor and removes matt spots. Separating, rinsing and drying the component pieces after each shave with also extend the lifetime of the razor.
