Adjustable double edge razor from German Merkur in stainless steel with a chrome-plated satin finish. Thanks to the adjustable system, the angle of the razor head can be set to six different levels, for a closer and more comfortable shave.
Robust and dependable design for lifetime use. A double edge razorblade lasts up to three times as long as a regular razor cartridge with a 3-blade system.
Used with traditional safety (double edge) blades, such as Solingen, Merkur, Feather, etc.
One Merkur Super Platinum razor blade is included.

Had a lot of experience with both Muhle R89 and traditional straight razors. Needed something in between as there isn't always time to use the straight razor. Very happy with the solution.
It clearly feels like it is made of high quality. It is slightly heavier than other razors, but it gives a completely different feeling and balance. The advantage of it being in one piece is that others, which are in two parts, tend to unscrew when you shave. If you want to take the next step after using a safety razor for a while, you should definitely buy this one. Nice rasping sound when you shave.
Very satisfied! The only downside (very minor though) is that the brushed surface doesn’t glide well against the skin. It's also a bit difficult to aim precisely when refining the edge against the beard. Otherwise, a very good purchase.
The blades don't sit quite straight. Also, I find it cumbersome. Tried it a few times, but it's an exception now.
I've had a couple of different models before, and the first change was to one with a longer handle. I wanted to try this one because it's adjustable. It's much better, and with new blades from Feather, it shaves super well. The adjustment is really good, as the difference is noticeable right away.
Is heavy and solid, and it's easy to change blades. So far, I've only used it on the lowest setting, but it works well.
Adjustable! With Feathers blades, perfect for me.
I thought I was upgrading from a cheaper basic razor, but this was a significant step down. It feels like the blade isn't completely fixed or straight, leading to an uneven and unreliable shave. The heavier weight, which I thought would provide balance, is more of a problem than an advantage. I will go back to my simpler razor. It's a shame that this can't be returned.
*five stars (seems like you can't edit your review)
Really good quality. It's quick to change the razor blade. Suitable weight but far too aggressive for me even on the mildest setting. If it had been a little milder, it would have received stars.
