This razor is well designed to offer you with the convenience of using it. You can use it with a shaving cream or soap and this makes it a perfect razor for men who enjoy wet shaving. This safety-razor will leave no traces of uneven shaved hair on the face because it offers a very clean, close and smooth shave.

PRO: It offers a very close shave with minimal skin irritations and this makes it suitable for use on sensitive skin types.

CON: Can’t be used on a dry shave. I give this merkur a credit when it comes to close shave, but you should be very careful when dry shaving. This applies to all razors, when you use them without shaving cream, the possibility of getting razor bumps / nicks and cuts is very high. Once you get this product, invest some money in a shaving gel / cream, if you can’t get them, then opt for baby powder.
