Review: Excellent heavy-weight razor - This is a high quality DE razor. It is a slant-type razor from Merkur, very well made and quite heavy (I have used many different DE razors over time and this is, by far, the heaviest). I had read online reviews that seemed to indicate that it is an aggressive razor, i.e., one which can be quite unforgiving. However, in my experience, this has not been the case at all. It does a very effective job in shaving and I have barely nicked myself once or twice over two weeks of shaving. I have used two brands of blades in it so far, the Merkur one that came with the razor and the blue (US-made) Personna. Both work well, but I prefer the Personnas slightly - blade choice is quite personal, so YMMV. It is best to let the razor glide due to its own weight and not apply downward pressure on it. I have found that three passes (with-,across-, and against-the-grain) with small strokes produces a very smooth (BBS) shave. One thing I have also noticed is that it does not pay to be too aggressive in ATG strokes - this seems to leave behind some post-shaving burn. A lighter hand seems to work very well - holding the blade around the balance point works well for this. The razor handle is very grippy and there is little danger of it slipping even with wet or soapy fingers. Loading the blade is a little bit more cumbersome than "butterfly-style" razors, but not really an issue. The slant head bends the blade quite significantly along a helical path and also varies blade exposure from one end to another. I don't know whether the slant made a huge difference since I haven't used straight Merkur razors, but, at the same time, I found no issues due to the slant itself. Overall, I am very happy with the buy. I have bought a "sampler set" of razor blades to figure out what works best with the 39c... More on that later. Update on 7/22/2017 Some additional feedback based on a few weeks' usage... I am extremely impressed by this razor. The biggest take-away is that it works very well with pretty much every blade I have tried. I very rarely nick or cut myself, even if I am not very mindful while shaving. I am quite puzzled by reviews that seem to indicate that this is an aggressive razor; while it may not be as "mild" as a Feather razor, I don't think it is aggressive at all. Instead, it is extremely efficient and produces super-smooth (near-BBS) shaves with just two passes - one with the grain and another against/across the grain. This is a brief synopsis of how it has paired up with different blades: - Merkur blade that came with razor: Good performance. No nicks or irritation. After trying other blades, this does not seem like the best best option, however. - Personna Blue: This blade works beautifully in a Feather, but somehow doesn't work well with the 39c. Performance was acceptable, but I needed to do a lot more work to get a smooth shave - the blade felt somewhat "blunt" compared to others. I need to test it a bit more. - Wilkinson Sword: Excellent performance. I rank this blade as #2 in terms of how well it works in the 39c. - Dorco ST-301: Nearly as good as the Wilkinson. I felt that it was a little less smooth and lost its sharpness a bit quicker than the Wilkinson. - Feather: Fair performance. In my opinion, it is a bit aggressive with the 39c. I did get a cut over a bumpy area in my face even while paying attention. Others have reported that the Feathers work very well in the 39c - for me, it ranked on par with the Personna Blue in terms of preference. - Astra SP: Great performance. I was shocked at how well it worked with the 39c. I have not had a better shave with a DE razor/blade combo than with the Astra and 39c. I need only two passes for an absolutely smooth, irritation-free shave. It is definitely my #1 choice for the razor so far. The blade is made in Russia (by Gillette); one minor nit is that the blade has a couple of glue spots to stick the wrapper to the blade. This does not wipe off the blade easily at all. I am sure it has no effect, but it is a bit annoying. Update on 8/4/2017 I thought I will add a quick update... As a test, I took the blade that worked the best on the 39c, the Astra SP, and swapped it into my old Feather razor to see how well the Feather does vs. the 39c. Wow, what a difference - the shaving experience with the Feather was nowhere near as nice as the Merkur. The heft of the razor and, I think, the slant head make a huge difference in producing a smoother shave with fewer passes. With the Feather, I needed to do one more pass to achieve the same close shave I could get with the 39c. Also, it did not feel as smooth as the 39c and also felt a lot less efficient in removing my stubble. Switching the blade back to the 39c, I could verify that the razor was making the difference since the shave experience with the same blade in the 39c got a lot better. I also have my routine nailed down to 2 passes, 1 WTG and 1 ATG, with slight touch-ups in hard to get to areas. So, 39c with Astra SP FTW so far!
Review: First class razor for sensitive skin. - Knows as the "Sledgehammer" this is one of the top rated slants safety razors and I agree. This razor isn't as aggressive as the Parker Semi-Slant which meant I got a comfortable shave that was nice and close without the irritation that I experienced with the Parker. My girlfriend borrowed it and once she shaved her legs with it, it never made it back to my shave den so I had to order a second one for myself. The build quality is very nice which is what I would expect from German manufacturing. Cleaning the razor and caring for it are easy because of it's simple design. The weight was good. Personally I would have liked it to be heavier however that is just a personal preference. Overall, this is a wonderful razor that should provide you years of close shaves. People with sensitive skin like me will appreciate how well it shaves without irritation. My favorite blade to use are the 7 AM blades which are reasonably priced and similar to the Rex Supply blades. Wisamet blades also work really well and I would like to add that this is a great razor for people who suffer from razor bumps.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a razor for a beginner? I have the de89 and cannot seem to get a close shave regardless of the blades, thought this may help my angle**
A: I definitely have to be careful when using this razor.  I will occasionally give myself a severe cut if I rush myself.   The shave is as close as you can get without peeling your face like a potato.  I don't recommend starting with a feather blade.   Have you tried a feather on your 89?

**Q: What's the difference between 37c and 37c HD ?**
A: Hi Amazon customer,There is no difference between the 37c and 37c HD because it is the same model.

**Q: Is this model the new production model that was released in 2015 or is it old stock?**
A: Hi Dr. Morris Fishbine, Yes, these are the new model that were produced in 2015.If you are interested in the old stock you may contact the seller before purchasing or search for a vintage Merkur 37c.

**Q: Do you need a special blade for the slant or will any D/E blade work?**
A: No, any modern (or even vintage) standard Double Edge (DE) safety razor blade will work with the Merkur 37C Slant razor and provide an excellent shave!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best shaves I've ever had - and also the worst
*by D***T on March 29, 2023*

TL;DR version: The 37c gives me the most comfortable, closest shaves I've *ever* had. *BUT* 4 years ago when I first got the 37c and tried shaving with it - as someone relatively new to double-edge shaving - it was terrible. The shaves I got resulted in a lot of cuts, razor burn, etc. What changed in those four years? My skills and technique shaving with a double edge razor. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Longer version: I recently decided to try to up my double-edge shaving game. I ran across a recommendation that *experienced* double-edge shavers should give slant razors a try. I already owned a slant razor - a Merkur 37c I had purchased four years earlier. I wasn't using it because when I originally tried it four years ago (admittedly as someone relatively new to double-edge shaving) it did not go well. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do remember getting lots of shaving nicks and razor burn. I put the razor aside and didn't touch it for four years. With a bit of trepidation, I decided to try the 37c again. I put my current blade of choice - Personna Lab Blue - into my 37c and gave it a try. *And got the best shave of my life* - by far! The shave I got was *extremely comfortable*, and *extremely close*. And there were no nicks, no weepers, no razor burn - no nothing! And every shave since then it's been the same. There is *no* going back to my old razor for me... I then tried some other blades in the 37c: I put in my previous blade of choice - Astra - and shaved with that. I got a good shave, but not as good as I got with the Personna. The Astra felt coarse, a bit rough. I had a couple of small 'weepers', and I noticed a bit of razor burn when I was done (a bit of razor burn used to be normal for me). To be sure, the Astra shaved better in the 37c than it did in my old razor, but it wasn't as good in the 37c as the Personna. I then tried the blade I originally used in the 37c when I first tried it four years previously - Feather. In the 37c the Feather shaved comfortably, but I did get a shaving nick with the Feather (the only nick I've had with any blade in the 37c this go around), and the slightest feeling of razor burn. In my testing I preferred the Personna over the Feather and liked the Feather much more than the Astra. Or course, your mileage may vary. One other thing -- my face tends to be very oily. Always has been. After I started using the 37c the oiliness of my face got a lot better. I had originally chalked it up to some changes I had made in my after-shave care, but when I decided to try another non-slant razor the oiliness was back - even with my new after-shave care. For some reason, it appears that the 37c isn't causing my face to get oily - which is GREAT. Maybe the shaving comfort I've noticed is responsible for the change. No matter - my 37c is here to stay! So, what is my beard like? One thing for sure - it grows every which way and usually NOT in the 'classic' directions. It's pretty coarse in spots, and less so in others. Some areas seem to grow faster than others. I've had to learn which direction to shave on each part of my face. When I shave, I do the recommended 3-pass shave - with the grain, across the grain, and finally against the grain. Again, because of how my beard grows, the 'correct' direction I need to shave varies depending on what part of my face I'm shaving. I shave every day, mostly because I've found I enjoy shaving with a double edge razor. Summary: I *really* like my Merkur 37c - even though my original experience with it four years ago with it wasn't so good.
