MATERIAL
The head of the safety razor is manufactured using the zinc die-casting process since it creates instruments with maximum precision even for complex shapes. In order to ensure a comfortable weight distribution, we only use brass for the handle. The chrome finish protects the razor from corrosion and underlines the high-quality design.

PRODUCT DETAILS
A safety razor with a closed comb is the all-rounder for classic wet shaving. Intuitively, you will feel the best shaving angle for your safety razor and immediately achieve ideal shaving results. The generous blade gap allows high soap flow protecting the razor head from clogging with cut hair or lather residue.

Merkur 37C

This is a very smooth shaving razor and is one of my go-to razors and for that reason, I bought another to go in my travel bag. The only minor issue that I have with the Merkur 37C is if you have a heavy beard and don't shave for 3-4 days you may experience some pulling/tugging, this is caused by the stiffness of the whiskers and happens at the end of the razor where the blade exposure is the greatest this is uncomfortable but not a show stopper. Now you know so adjust to it and you will be very pleased with this razor.

Good shave, disappointing durability

I was using this as my regular razor for a little over a year, mainly with Feather blades. I've found I really need the sharpest blade possible to avoid irritation, and the slant bar works wonders here, versus the Merkur 23c I was using before. However, this razor is simply not built to last. It seems the screw wound up getting stripped out over time. The razor won't stay together anymore. I'll admit, I could've been better about maintenance, and I have moderately hard water, but the 23c is still going strong many years later, so I'm inclined to think the two-piece product design (and cheaping out on materials) is the problem more than me. There's no easy way to clean the internal receiving end. I decided to buy this because I'd had a Merkur razor that lasted for several years that I was reasonably happy with, and they have a buy-it-for-life reputation that now seems entirely undeserved to me. Even the Germans are doing planned obsolescence now, it seems... Without durability as their differentiating factor, there's no reason to buy this product over the competition. It's not inexpensive, it's not a modular design, and so I'm left with a $50 paperweight now.

My Daily Driver

I absolutely love this DE razor. I have sensitive skin and a very coarse beard and this razor combined with sharp blades is perfect for me. It's my daily driver and I pair it up with Dorco (my in expensive regular blade) or Feather. Both blades pair really well with this slant. This is now my daily driver and, although I'm fairly new to wet shaving, it didn't take me long to build confidence with this razor. I highly recommend this razor - even for noobs like me!

Customer review

This was actually my very first DE razor the wife bought me almost 25 years ago the guy at the knife shop told her it would help with the razor burn and irritation I always got from shavings with a cartage razor. He was right and she even splurged for a really high dollar Silver Tip Badger Hair brush that I still use today. I started of with the Merkur blades and the were great used them for years then I started using a Astra Platinum because I could by a 100 for real cheap it is now my go to blade. It finally got a tiny nick in the chrome on the guard. I then started shopping for another, Ikon Slant is not the same but I still use it from time to time. The Above the Tie Slant is the closest to the style of this razor and I use it about every other day 3 at the most but it is not a cheap razor at all but I'm guessing if this little pot metal and chrome razor is still in the mix after having it for over 25yrs the Above the Tie should last the rest of my life and be past on for generations to come. Don't be afraid of the slant bar give a try if you have a course beard and sensitive skin take your time at first until you get confidant with it and you will not be sorry you did.

Since the Merkur 34c is one of my favorite razors (I use it a LOT), when I wanted to buy my first slant razor opting for the Merkur 37c was not that difficult of a decision. Hence, I am not one bit surprised that after using this shaving weapon once, I already can tell how amazing it is. Of course, that might have much to do with the other gear I used as well. I just shaved with this thing this morning, after receiving it from Maggard's yesterday (there was a delay in shipping - NOT Maggard's fault - usually I get my gear in 2 days). I used the 37c (feather blade), Catie's Bubbles Le Piment De La Vie Soap, Maggard's brush, and Stirling Sandalwood AS splash. With the first swipe of the razor, I knew I had a winner. This thing sliced through my 3 day stubble with such ease I was actually alarmed. Within 2 passes, my face was completely smooth. I would call that success. After I rinsed my face and applied the AS I got dressed for work, sprayed on my favorite cologne (Bvlgari Man in Black), and left the house feeling (and smelling) like a freakin' rock star. And, as usual, Maggard's rules in every way imaginable.
