Customer Reviews of Merkur-Razor Double Edge Razor Blades
Customer Review: There are better
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using a Merkur safety razor for about a year now. I have tried several different blades and I must say that these are horrible. Compared to Feather or Derby blades (my favorites) these seem too stiff and not nearly sharp enough. I have a sharp jawline and I must say these blades do not conform to it at all. Several strokes in different directions and techniques trying to get the blade to cut, only left my face sore and far from smooth. With the Feather and/or Derby blades I can easily cut through over a weeks growth with no irritation and at worst 1-2 nicks if I'm in a hurry. Spend the extra dollar and pick up some feather blades, or spend the same and grab a pack of quality Derby blades.Customer Review: Merkur Blades Second to None
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the real wet-shaving ritual for about a month now, and with my order of the Merkur 1904 "#48" safety razor came one of the Merkur Supers. I had also ordered a sample pack from Amazon and traded some of these for some that my roommate bought as well. Without a doubt, the Merkur blades hold the finest in my opinion. For a solid shave and blade longevity, I would suggest these. They are not the sharpest (I would go with Feathers or Sharks if you want really sharp), but they seem to work pleasantly in my Merkur razor. Just a side note, for blades I've used that are similar, try Lord, Big Ben, and even Bic Chromes. Overall 5 stars for Merkur's blades and 5 stars for Merkur in general.Customer Review: Great disposable for the Dovo Straight Razor
Summary: 5 Stars
These can be snapped in half and used with disposable blade straight razor handles. Great blades that hold their edge for lots of shaves. When I was shaving my head, these are the ones that wouldn't dull on my coarse hair. If you're going to use a straight razor and don't want to invest in the premium ones, this is definitely a close second best (and a lot less work, since you won't need to keep your blade honed). Other double edge blades I've tried just didn't measure up and did not have the sharp precision blade of a Merkur. I'd like to compare the Merkur with others under a microscope. I bet those other blades are as jagged as they feel.Customer Review: Qualty razor
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had my Merkur DE (Double-Edge) razor for over a year now. Like many others I was tired of paying through the nose for cartrige-style blades and wanted another option. I did nick myself learning to use it properly, but it really is no big deal. Just go slow, use lots of good hot water and a quality shave cream (Proraso and Cremo both work fine). Change your blades once or twice a week - the blades are very sharp, but so cheap in comparison to the carts that they practically give them away, esp. if you buy in bulk. I have had good results with blades maufactured by Merkur, Feather, and Gilette 7 O'clock.
Customer Review: Great razors at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Short: I highly recommend the product.
These are great razors at a great price. I analyzed prices found on the Internet and it sounds like you will be paying 50 cents per blade. That price is more than fair for the quality of these blades. They are sharp, durable and you can recycle them after you are done. Can you do the same with Mach-3 cartridges? Tip -- buy them in bulk.
If you have spare time do your wallet a favor and calculate how much money you will save by switching to double edge razors. I can't believe I used to spend $120+ per year on Mach-3 systems!
