Our verdict

A stainless steel two-piece razor and a stack of coated blades, ready for a first wet shave. The heavy closed comb head is forgiving, but it gives a milder shave than an open comb for coarse growth.

Overview

MERKUR machines this two-piece safety razor entirely from stainless steel and pairs it with a supply of Super Platinum double edge blades. The handle unscrews from the closed comb head to load each blade.

Stainless steel throughout means no plating to wear through, so the razor can last for decades. The closed comb head favors comfort over aggression, which may feel slow on thick, long stubble.

Who it's for

Newcomers to wet shaving and long-time users who want a razor that does not corrode. Shavers who prefer a lightweight razor or an adjustable gap should look at other designs.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Machined stainless steel, no plating
  • Closed comb head forgives poor angle
  • Knurled handle grips when wet
  • Blade supply included in the set
Cons
  • Weight in grams not listed
  • No adjustable blade gap
  • Two-piece design needs careful blade loading

Performance notes

Razor weight supplies the cutting pressure, so a light hand and a shallow angle give the cleanest result. The closed comb channels lather ahead of the blade and limits exposure, which cuts down on nicks. Platinum and PTFE coatings reduce friction on each pass.
