  • Timeless masterpiece.
This is my 3rd adjustable razor and 4th Merkur. I have a Vikings Blade Emperor and a vintage Gillette Fatboy. I really love the adjustable razors. My thoughts are they can be dialed in better for each user and once you find the perfect blade for that razor it’s as good as it gets. I started with this on a setting of 1. I’m up to 4.5 and that’s as high as I’m going because that just a sweet spot for me. So far I’ve only used Astra SP blades for 3 shaves each. Tomorrow will be #3 with the current blade and it’s off to the next blade to see if the shave is any better which frankly will be difficult to achieve. I have never tried a Merkur future but this blows away the VB Emperor and I like the weight a little better than the Fatboy. I’m also a big fan of the Merkur 37c slant but I think the shave with this is just a little better. You don’t need special instructions (at least one review suggested) to reassemble. Look at both sides of the head and it will be self explanatory. It’s not that hard to know when it’s tight (from another review) just tighten until it feels snug then look at the setting. It’s on one at that point. As for disassembly, really, how hard is it to take anything apart? I started wet shaving long ago in the early 80s and learned (sometimes the hard way) with my dad’s Fatboy (now the one I own) and at this point probably own 25 DE razors and actually use 5-6 of them. I’d have to say at this point this is right up there with my 1955 SS red tip as one of my favorites. This could be a great razor for a beginner so long as you start low (1 would be good) on the setting and work up. The weight as I said earlier is fantastic. Zero pressure and it’s spot on with a good blade. Love the balance of this razor and the bright chrome finish is gorgeous. This will continue to be my daily razor at least until I find the perfect blade match and after that it will get lots of turns in the rotation. I really don’t see it being replaced at all unless Jagger or Muhle does a similar product with their head design. So if your looking for a adjustable my advice is simple, get this one unless you don’t own a slant bar yet. That should be every newbies 2nd razor. This should be #3. It’s fantastic and you can’t go wrong with it. ... show more

  • Good. Not spectacular.
After 10 years with a 'non adjustable' Merkur HD, it finally started to rot. Chrome delaminated and Zinc rot. Not ideal, but not bad given its life in my shower. I found after a while that I preferred using it loosened 1/2 turn. More aggressive cut, but shaves cleanly in 1 pass with no irritation this way. I ordered this to replace the old one thinking it would be the proper way to achieve what my backing off 1/2 turn did on the old one. In some respects, I suppose that is true. In others, I kinda miss the old way of doing it. When I got it, I paint penned in all the numbers and the alignment marks on the blade retainer. This worked well enough. But, I never had to care about this with the old razor. I found '4' is about as close as I could muster to match my old way of doing things. Its consistent, and it really isn't BAD. But I prefer my old shave. Not aggressive enough? Dunno. But 3 and 5 were not as good as 4, and 4 is not as good as the old way. Fit and finish are good, and it *is* a nice razor. But if I had it to do all over again, I'd just buy another HD and keep backing it off 1/2 turn. ... show more

  • Adjusts easily from mild to aggressive.
This is the wet shave adjustable I was always looking for. It easily adjusts from a setting for a mild shave to one that is aggressive for thick beards. One heads up, make sure to align the small groove on the end of the top plate with the triangle shape on the end of the bottom plate. If you don’t the settings will be different from what they should be. The only thing I wish is that it was made of stainless steel instead of white metal. It would have more heft and be more impact resistant in case you drop it, or bang it against the sink. ... show more

  • Excellent Razor but not for me personally
This is a top end Merkur product. It's a quality item. But I did not like it for subjective personal reasons. I found the handle too short and the grip nonexistent. The head is a great shape for beginners and since it's adjustable it's easier to tune it to the blade you use. Recommended if you think you will like the handle length and the ridges that run along it. ... show more

  • The best one out there for the price was sweet.
As stated in my headline all was true. With the ease of use, comfort, and feel I will never go back to the to cartridge razors. This was the best shave in years and for all of those contemplating giving the DE razors a whirl remember one thing, this isn't your dad's old razor from the 50s or 60s.
