I have a Muhle R39 and wanted to try something with a longer handle. Both razors are great and it's hard to choose between them. The Merkur 23c wins on price. It gives me a very close, comfortable shave after two passes with the grain. Highly recommendedQuality Price Value
- Really good razor

An excellent razor which is very easy to use. I had never used a safety razor before but I quickly adapted and would not go back to the plastic alternative.

I was advised by one of the English Shaving contacts to go for this razor as I am new to DE shaving. Absolutely perfect choice; I’ve been using it for a week now and I’m getting the best shave I’ve ever had. I am currently trying out different blades to find my perfect blade. Treat choice.

A truly wonderful German engineered razor.
I always wanted to give a safety razor a try and I am glad I did! This is a truly wonderful razor. Excellent quality at a great price. It gives such a close smooth shave and I didn’t even cut myself once. Recommended.Quality Price Value

- A very nice starter razor, the price is the best I could find for the same model.

So, a very nice starter razor. Not too aggressive, in fact finding the correct angle to shave and maintaining it, is probably one of the easiest I've used. Not as heavy as some, but no lightweight either, this razor sits firmly in the lower price rangeQuality Price Value
- Cost effective & plastic free :)
-
I've switched to this safety razor from disposable plastic razors to try and save on my waste, but with the added benefit of being much more cost effective! I was a bit nervous but this razor is really easy to use and I've been very pleased with the results. It's a little bit more fiddly on my underarms but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon.

I bought this to use instead of plastic disposable razors, I paired it with derby razor blades. Like others, I was a intimidated to make the switch to a de safety razor but it's been so easy to use! I also used to get bad razor burn but this has been much more gentle.

This is a great shaver. As a female I was a bit worried about using this type of shaver but it is great. Easier to use than the female disposable ones and gives a much better shave.

- Great razor for women
-
This should be included in the list of razors for women, as the longer handle with textured grip is ideal. Much gentler shave than multi-bladed disposable razors.

A good razor from Merkur, German quality, though it feels a little light in the hand. Compared to the Edwin Jagger DE89L the Merkur is not as good in the hand and not as good when it comes to the actuall shave. That said it is a solid razor to a very good price. Service from the english shaving company is very good and will continue to buy your products.

Ditching the plastic bic disposables under pressure from environmentally conscious daughter and this razor is a fantastic substitute. Good handle length, decent weight/balance, good quality and but no frills. Worries that I'd cut myself in adjusting to new razor were unfounded and coupled with good shaving soap/brush have really enjoyed the switch away from plastic.

This was my first safety razor so I don't have much to comapre it to, but overall it's great. The handle is just long enough to hold comfortably and it's got good grip even when wet and soapy.

I bought this on a recommendation from some blogs for a plastic free shave for women. It has totally lived up to expectations. The blogs recommended different blades to the ones which come with these so I bought a pack of those to (Astra Superior Platinum DE Razor Blades (5 Pack)). Im glad I did as the only downside was that the blade included was good for 2 shaves then it was not so special The razor though is fab it provides a fantastically smooth shave and feels strong and secure to hold. It actually feels like a treat to shave with this.

I’ve just ditched my cartridge razors and bought this razor as an intro to DE safety razors. Absolutely love this razor. Very good close shave without a huge risk of cuts and nicks. My shave is now 100% more comfortable . Superb. And great service from the ESC. Thanks.
