This razor features a slant Merkur head, designed to give a more aggressive shave. More blade is exposed on one side than the other, which means that it cuts more like the slice of a knife - this makes it ideal for folks with coarse, wiry hair. For most people, this is a safety razor they pick up after having learned how to shave comfortably with a more standard design.
The thicker, engine-turned handle provides excellent grip and is easily maneuvered for those trimming the neckline of their beard.
