Thread: Should I?

I just happen to have the merkur vision 2000 also. It is heavy and it takes a while to dial in. When that is said I get ok shaves with it now. Before I got in to straights I used it exclusively for about a year. I've gotten some of my worst nicks ever from it (with Merkur blades). Safety razor – my .

It's not even close to a straight shave by any means, but I bet that no one but me notices.

Just make sure to buy good DE- blades to it. The Merkur blades that comes with it s ks big time. A sample blade pack might be a good idea. I use Feather, Wilkinson Sword and Gillette with mine. Also it takes a lot less pressure than the mock3 to do the job. Let it "go by its own weight". It does not give a lot of feedback, but it is easier to learn than the straights.
