agreed. its what i use in-between full shaves when i need to keep the upper cheeks and lower neck trim. i also like the merkur 41c open comb but with a maggard mr5 handle.
looks nice.. set or adjustable?

Very nice handles. I got exactly this set up for a mate who'd never had a traditional wet shave along with a best badger brush and a blade sampler. My skin and beard likes Astras with that blade distance.
I'm going to get one of those one day. I love my Merkur Slant and Mergress. The Slant was my first wetshaving implement.
It's a non adjustable 2 piece. The wilkinson blade in this works a treat. Tried it in my flair tip and ended up doing a dance when I put alum on my neck. That razor works well with Personna blades. I'm not brave enough to take on a slant and I'm not sure I'll get one. I'm wanting to move back to my straights, at least for weekends and days off where I'm not so time pressured.
I do not understand where the Merkur 37C slant got such a reputation for being vicious. It gives a very close and comfortable shave without irritating the crap out of my skin. I would not be too afraid of that one if you were to try a slant out.Quote:

To those of us used to shaving with a single blade, open or guarded, keeping it moving in the correct direction, with a light touch, is second nature. To some beginners, moving a razor sideways seems to be safe, but as we all know... it's not. I have seen guys shaving on the television, literally slapping their face with one of those multi-bladed monstrosities.
To the original poster, that Merkur is a fine razor indeed... it's the one I always seem to come back to!
