Details
Founded in 1906, Dovo Merkur are a German based company producing some of the most renowned shaving implements in the industry. The Merkur 37C DE Safety Razor (Slant Head) is a heavyweight double edge safety razor.
Merkur have long been respected in the shaving industry due to the many years of quality craftsmanship they use to create some of the highest precision razors on the market.
This slant head razor produces an incredibly close shave and is recommended for those with particularly thick, coarse beard growth. Slant head razors are also said to cause less irritation, making them ideal for shavers with sensitive skin.
The handle features an attractive cross hatch knurl patterning for enhanced wet grip. It has a length of approximately 80mm and a weight of 85g, making it a relatively heavyweight razor that is nicely balanced and a pleasure to use.
It is described as being similar to the Merkur 34C DE Safety Razor (Closed Comb) but with the addition of a slanted blade exposure.
This razor includes one Merkur Super Platinum DE Razor Blade to get you started. This blade fits neatly and comfortable in between the two head parts. These blades are known for their unparalleled sharpness that offer a glidingly smooth shave.
The Merkur 37C DE Safety Razor (Slant Head) is compatible with all other DE razor blades, giving you the option to use whichever razor blades suit your own personal preference.
To take the best care of your razor, clean the parts with warm water after with every blade exchange and use a soft nail brush if desired. Slightly lubricate the mechanical parts regularly and do not overwind any screws.
The product is presented in a thick cardboard box, featuring the classic Merkur branding for authenticity.
When you purchase a Merkur razor, you acquire a piece of the highest shaving culture for a cultivated start to the day.
Customer Reviews
- Irritation Free Shave.

Well built, attractive razor which is nicely balanced and manoeuvrable. Very easy to use giving a mild, smooth, irritation free, yet efficient shave. It’s often recommended that it is a razor for experienced DE shavers, I’ve only been DE shaving for 5 weeks and I had no difficulty using it and experienced no nicks, in fact I found it easier to use than my Muhle R89 (a recommended beginner’s razor).

I'm relatively new to DE shaving and my other razors include Gillette slim adjustable and the Qshave Futur clone. Decided to start off with milder blades and have used Derby and Sharks so far with this. Finding the 37C not aggressive (roughly comparable to a 3.5 on the Qshave with the same blade) though is very effective and smooth. Quality construction, nice weight and balance and although slghtly short handle, you'll quickly adjust to. Looking forward now to see how a permasharp blade performs.

- Effective razor

Disclaimer: this is my first and so far only slant. My basis for comparison are two DEs with safety bar and one with an open comb.
The 37c is very effective, yet feels mild. The build quality is good, I just wish it were a three-piece as I find the base plate harder to clean if it's connected to the handle.Quality Price Value

Wawoo! Is "agressive" synonym of "quick and efficient"? If so then yes, this is an agressive razor (especialy when combined to Merkur blade included). I would recommend it to everyone (unless, without knowing I master all shaving techniques after one year of wet shaving). Last but but not the least - the packaging : yes, it's simple, it's made of paper and it's eco friendly. Period (definitely can not understand those criticizing it's not made of gold or plastic: I would be happy with a simple paper bag).

I am a total novice with safety razors, so I was of course a little apprehensive about buying the 37c, but all my fears were layed to rest after taking my time and being careful. This is an exceptional piece of kit, the weight, build and results of the shave from this little beauty is top draw and I would highly recommend for beginners and experts without a second thought.

- Good Razor

Many reviews say this razor is aggressive, in truth, it just goes the job more efficiently and feels a lot less aggressive than a Futur or Gillette Slim but seems to do the job well on coarse growth without being catchy or causing burn or rash.

- Mild and effective slant bar razor.

This is my 3rd Merkur razor but 1st ever slant bar razor. What can I say - it very mild, very comfortable, but really effective in terms of shaving, very good razor, next step is to try some different blades with it :)

- Perfect if you don't mind a DE with a short handle
-
A smooth shave without the nicks, cuts and razor burn. If you have used "aggressive" razors like the R41, you will appreciate this. Do note that the Merkur 37C has a short handle so those with above average hands might need some time to adjust.
