Award Winning Merkur

Apparently my current razor, the Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic, is a pretty good razor, winning the About.com 2011 Readers’ Choice Award for best razor.  This is incredibly surprising considering it was stacked up against the likes of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide, Gillette Mach 3 and Shick Hydro 5. These "shaving systems" are a common sight in almost every store, with the Merkur only available online and in shaving boutiques. I guess people are finally beginning to value function and form over marketing hype.

From About's site - “Sometimes you hold a razor in your hand and it feels just right. The chrome finish 34C is one of those razors. The combination of weight, craftsmanship and looks make it the perfect entry into double-edged razor shaving. A true heavyweight classic!”

This is no surprise to me, the Merkur Classic HD has been around for nearly 100 years and is still a top seller. Check it out if you want to start shaving like a man and spend a total of $15 a year on razor blades at most.  Merkur Heavy Duty Double Edge Razor #34C + 5 Free DE Razor Blades

    That's old school. A lot more badass than my Gillette Fusion.

    It's certainly a very handsome razor, but I think I'll stick to my disposable :D

    That certainly is an old school razor, but I'll stick with my dispoables for the time being. Maybe in the near future though :D

    I really want a set of straight razors. Way outside my price range though. might try this one if it's really as good as you say.

    That's an amazing razor. I've never even seen one of them before. I think I'll stick with the electric one I have, though. Braun makes shaving easy.
