Thread: Merkur 37C Quality Control

I am looking forward to using the 37c a lot, or at least as long as the razor does not break.

I know that when it comes YMMV always applies, but have noticed in my case that the 37C gives me a more comfortable shave with a feather blade than when paired with a Gillette Silver Blue. I was suprised because I love the Silver Blue when paired with either my Wilkinson Sword Classic razor or my DE 89.

I like Silver Blues, but the Feather is still the top of the heap IMHO. The old Gillette Swedes used to be equal in sharpness and smoother, but they are no longer made AFAIK.

I own both of these razors. No complaints about either, BUT the chrome on the EJ89 is outstanding at this price range. I've had mine several years, yet when I clean it up, she looks brand new.
