Merkur of Solingen have been producing high quality safety razors and shaving equipment for over seventy years. Regardless of whether you prefer a thorough clean shave or want to give your beard the right contours, when you purchase Merkur products you acquire a piece of highest shaving culture for a cultivated start to the day. Merkur offers the right model and appropriate accessories for every beard type, thus ensuring the best conditions for an effective wet shave.
The Merkur Slant Bar Double-Edge Safety Razor has an amazingly crafted angled blade guard that performs a slight slicing movement while you are shaving, resulting in an unbelievably close shave. This particular razor is known for its aggressiveness so would be perfect for hair that is thicker or coarser than usual. However, don't be too afraid of it - paired up with the right blade, it is known to be great for sensitive skin too!
Many times, you'll read stories on shaving chatrooms about how this is some hard to use razor or it shouldn't be used if you're new to wet-shaving. Worry not- with the same attention to your angle and pressure applied during the shave, you should be able to get great results with this even if you are a beginner at traditional shaving.
Often paired with Feather, Kai or Gillette Platinum blades, the secret to a close shave without irritation is a sharp blade and few passes. Many people talk about the multipass shave, and while this is great as a general rule of thumb, it can sometimes cause irritation if you have sensitive skin or a course beard.
