Overview

Bathroom shelves of wet shavers moving off cartridges suit this Merkur safety razor, which comes with blades ready to use. A double edge precision head shaves beards and tidies moustaches and brows.

Getting a classic safety razor with blades in the box makes the switch simple. The short handle and light weight suit smaller hands, while bigger hands may want more length.

Who it's for

First-time safety razor users and travelers suit this compact razor. Those preferring a heavy, long handle should look at other models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact short handle
  • Light to carry
  • Reusable and washable
Cons
  • Short handle for big hands
  • Light weight needs more control
  • Learning curve for angle

Performance notes

A safety razor cuts with one exposed edge at a time, so a steady angle and light pressure decide closeness. The light handle gives less natural glide than heavier razors. Fresh blades make the biggest difference to comfort.
