the look of the razor
"the look of the razor hanging on the rack in the bathroom, looks great, husband is very happy with the shave. highly recommend ."
Solid and well designed
"First de safety razor I have ever owned. I love it. Gives a great shave and isn’t any harder to use than a cartridge razor. Plus it doesn’t generate any plastics. It’s a mild shave, so I might try a more aggressive razor or blade next but I will definitely have this one for the rest of my life. Would recommend"
Works great!
"This razor is well designed. I have another one that I like as well, but this one seems better. The blade angle is perfect and doesn't pull or catch at all."
Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor
"First safety razor, works great!"
Great razor
"Easy to use for beginners"
Good value and a mild razor.
"I like the weight handling of this razor. I had another one earlier, but I dropped it accidentally, and it broke. However, I am finding this one less satisfying to use because my beard seems too heavy. It’s taking longer to get a close shave. When I’m next in Calgary, I’ll drop in to the store and check out some other options. I’ll keep this one too, but has a spare."
great
"as good as expected"
Great starter safety razor
"I recently bought two for my stepsons. I have used a safety razor for year and just upgraded to a Kamisori. I figured it was time they stepped up from their Gillettes."
Great shave
"Straightforward shave, love it. I recommend it, and what a cool price for quality."
Q&A
- How long is the double extra long handle? And even though the model name explicitly isn’t advertised, is it the same one in the link I posted in my previous question? https://www.theenglishshavingcompany.com/merkur-24c-long-handle-lady-s-de-safety-razor.html I think you may have already answered that part. But I wanted to double check. Thanks!
- Hey Kathryn, It is the same as the one on the link you've included. and the handle measures 4 3/4 incesh, about 12 cm long. With the head on, the razor totals at 5 inches. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help, Alex
- Yes the double extra long handle is what I was asking about. So what model number is that then? Because other sites said it was the 24C. And yes I want a closed comb. This is the model to which I am referring to. Which are you talking about? https://www.theenglishshavingcompany.com/merkur-24c-long-handle-lady-s-de-safety-razor.html
- Hey Kathryn, It looks like it would be the 24c and we may not have it listed/advertised as that on the website. Here is the link to the extra long handle, closed face razor you're after. There are three options to pick from on this page, one of which is the double extra long which is the one you're looking for. https://www.kentofinglewood.com/products/merkur-double-edge-safety-razor-straight-cut-extra-long-handle-chrome?variant=30413034619020 Alex
- What is the model name of the double extra long handle? Is it the 24c? I am interested in the Merkur 24C Long Handle Lady's DE Safety Razor.
- Hey there! The merkur with the longer handle and open tooth comb is the 25c. The 24c has a shorter handle to it. If you're looking for the double extra long handle, it does not come with the open comb, only with the closed comb. but here is the link to it! https://www.kentofinglewood.com/products/merkur-double-edge-safety-razor-straight-cut-extra-long-handle-chrome?variant=30413034619020 Alex
- How long is the double extra long handle?
- Hey Kathryn, The extra long handle is about 4.5 inches (11cm) long and totals 5 inches (12cm) with the head on! Alex
