Merkur 42C 1904 Double Edge Safety Razor

The Merkur 42C 1904 is a very nice 3 piece razor. It does not have the weight of my Merkur Progress Adjustable but it is enjoyable to shave with. It fits nicely into the Muhle Blade Guard making it my now go to razor for my travel kit. Been providing smooth close shaves with TOB Eaton shaving cream and KAI as well as Derby blades. Worth owning and a great value at $31.00

My great grandfather had a safety razor that I used to admire when I was a little boy. It looked masculine and elegant. Now, I have one that looks just like his. This razor has great weight to it, and the design on the handle improves the grip while making it look classy. I'm happy I got this razor. And believe it or not, I look forward to shaving everyday and I set aside time every morning so I can enjoy my shave.

You'll appreciate this razor for the quality shave it provides, and for the old school look. The slim handle is solid brass so the razor feels substantial yet nimble. The 42C is very inexpensive. It is my go-to razor for travel because of the fine shave and lightweight feel. Buy this razor and be a happy shaver!
