Review: Absolute Perfection - I'm a woman and use this for my legs and armpits, usually with Persona razor blades. This never ever cuts me, and always gives me a fantastic shave. I only replace the blade every month at most! It cuts closer than any other type of razor, and the weight of it makes it easy to hold. IT'S EASY TO RINSE OUT. It holds on to less hair than those 4-5 blade fancy razors, and I can unscrew it DURING my shower a little to easily and safely rinse out hair. Review: Wonderful razor! You will not be disappointed - This is an AMAZING razor. I’ve been a double-edge safety razor shaver for about 15-16 years now. I have two Parker razors that have served me well and a cheap Weishi. I wanted to try something different and saw great reviews on this. I wanted something heavy and that was NOT a twist to open (TTO) for a change. This one is 113 grams without blade. I have used Big Ben blades most of my wet shaving time. Flawless shave with this Merkur. I usually shave every other day. I’m shaving more often now just because it’s such a great razor with ZERO irritation. I mean that. NONE. I have yet to even nick myself. I use an alum block after shaving and don’t get any irritation. I also purchased the 34C which has the same head but lighter at 78 grams. Also highly recommended. It would be hard to pick between the two. If you can afford it, get one of each! ## Features - π…π„π€π“π”π‘πˆππ† 𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐄𝐑 ππŽπ‹π„ 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐄: The MERKUR 38C features a Barber Pole Long Heavy Handle, offering excellent balance and control.

This never ever cuts me, and always gives me a fantastic shave. I only replace the blade every month at most! It cuts closer than any other type of razor, and the weight of it makes it easy to hold. IT'S EASY TO RINSE OUT. It holds on to less hair than those 4-5 blade fancy razors, and I can unscrew it DURING my shower a little to easily and safely rinse out hair. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful razor! You will not be disappointed *by N***S on April 5, 2026* This is an AMAZING razor. I’ve been a double-edge safety razor shaver for about 15-16 years now. I have two Parker razors that have served me well and a cheap Weishi. I wanted to try something different and saw great reviews on this. I wanted something heavy and that was NOT a twist to open (TTO) for a change. This one is 113 grams without blade. I have used Big Ben blades most of my wet shaving time. Flawless shave with this Merkur. I usually shave every other day. I’m shaving more often now just because it’s such a great razor with ZERO irritation. I mean that. NONE.

It would be hard to pick between the two. If you can afford it, get one of each! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid razor that looks great & shaves well *by M***2 on March 2, 2021* I upgraded to this razor to one I got in a wet-shaving kit years and years ago (not sure about the manufacturer of that one), and am really happy with the Merkur. The weight of the head makes getting a close shave practically effortless, since you don't need to add any additional pressure to hack off the stubble. I'm not really an expert at identifying how aggressive a razor is, but I would guess that this razor falls on the milder side of the spectrum. I feel like I would have to try to cut/knick myself to draw blood with this razor, yet that comes at no expense to the quality of the shave. Everyone's face is different though, and a lot will depend on the quality of lather & how well-suited the blade is for your own style of shaving. (Personally I use Gillette 7 O'Clocks, Nacets, & Dorco Prime Platinums most often). While I knew that the handle had no knurling when I bought it (which is what I'm used to), I'm certain that some would complain about how slick the handle can be. Personally, I think it's bad judgment to handle & shave with *any* razor while your hands are slippery from soap. I just wipe my hands and the handle off with a towel, and it's fine. Would I buy it again? It's an attractive razor, but I primarily chose this one because my wife has the classic 38C, and I wanted to be able to tell them apart. I can't help but note that I essentially paid more for the aesthetic of the razor, which arguably has (albeit slightly) reduced functionality due to the lack of knurling on the handle. It is quite an enjoyable shave, however, and it's almost a piece of decor unto itself after rinsing and leaving it on a stand. Overall, I recommend this razor to people that have experience with wet-shaving or are used to a smooth handle. If you like it mostly for the aesthetic though, I would probably encourage to wait for it to go on sale. ## Frequently Bought Together - MERKUR 38C Double Edge Safety Razor - Bright Chrome, Extra Large Barber Pole Grip Brass Handle, Made in Germany, Plastic-Free, Two Piece Design, Closed Comb, Straight Bar - Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/6458733-merkur-38c-double-edge-safety-razor-bright-chrome-extra-large](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/6458733-merkur-38c-double-edge-safety-razor-bright-chrome-extra-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
