Being 25 years old and far from financially wealthy, I became sick of paying so much for cartridge blades and looked into my grandpa's way of shaving. After reading lots of reviews, I went with the Merkur Classic as my first safety razor and couldn't be happier.
First off, there's definitely a learning curve. I was hasty and impatient and the first couple weeks of shaving (I'm not that hairy of a guy, I only need to shave every other day) were a bit dreadful. If you buy this razor, ... Read More
Rating: - Great to learn with
If I had all the information on how to get a good shave with a single edge that is now available on the Internet, I would probably still be using my old Schick injector instead of abandoning it many years ago. Since that item is missing, I tried the Merkur 178 to apply this new (to me) knowledge. The heavy weight and handle length make it easy to get the right angle and pressure to learn the wet shaving method. So far I have been able to learn with this one with only very minimal damage to my face.
Rating: - Amazing difference
I bought this razor from another place, but I had been scoping it out here for awhile and felt I had to write a review. I'm 20 years old so I'm not an old timer with nostalgia, I just was looking for a better shave. It just happens to be a better shave that is much much cheaper.

Rating: - I like to shave again...
I really hate the multi-blade cartridge razors, and electric razors really irritate my skin. I decided to try wet-shaving using a safety razor, and after reading reviews, I went with the Merkur classic.
Although a little intimidating at first, the Merkur is actually very easy to use, and provides a nice, close shave. The key is to just be patient while you shave, and to pay attention to what you're doing. The single, straight edge makes shaping sideburns and facial hair pretty easy. Combine ... Read More

I started shaving in the very early 70's. My first razor was the Gillette Techmatic--anyone else remember these? It used a razor strip rather than blades and one got a new surface by turning a wheel to get fresh blade surface. My father was a Gillette double-edge user while I was growing up, and I ended up with one myself. The kind that has the little hangar-type doors that open up for blade change.
One problem with those--they gum up the mechanism over time with accumulated shaving cream. ... Read More
