Shaving Hardware Comparison Guide

  • The Solingen Barbershop Standard: Forged in Solingen, Germany since 1896. Models like the legendary Merkur 34C Heavy Duty (short handle, 0.71mm neutral gap) and Merkur 23C (long handle) provide distinct acoustic and tactile blade feedback prized by traditional wet shavers, while the Merkur Futur & Progress offer 6-stage dial adjustability.
  • Compared to Plastic Cartridges: Replaces expensive 5-blade plastic refills that tug hair below the skin line (causing ingrown hairs) with a single recyclable surgical steel edge costing pennies per week.

100 Years of Excellence: The Merkur 22C Convertible Set

Originally developed in the roaring 1920s, the MERKUR 22C is a masterclass in timeless German engineering. This remarkable set gives you total control over your grooming routine by including two interchangeable base plates, allowing you to seamlessly switch between a gentle daily shave and an aggressive heavy-beard takedown using the same iconic long handle.

🔱 The Convertible Experience: Two Razors in One

This premium set includes both of Merkur's legendary razor profiles:

  • The Straight Foam Edge (Closed Comb): Tried and tested for 100 years, this plate provides a highly protective, reliably smooth shave perfect for daily maintenance and sensitive skin.
  • The Toothed Edge (Open Comb): Swap to this plate when tackling several days of heavy growth or shaving longer body hair. The teeth guide long hairs directly to the blade, preventing clogs and ensuring a clean sweep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the handle feature a diamond cross knurl?

Safety razors are used in wet, slippery environments. The deeply engraved diamond-shaped cross knurling on the knob and handle of the 22C provides an exceptionally secure, tactile grip even when your fingers are coated in shaving soap and water.

How do I swap the comb plates?

The 22C features a traditional modular design. Simply unscrew the handle from the razor head, lift off the top plate and your blade, and swap the bottom guard plate (choosing either the closed or open comb). Reassemble and tighten the handle to secure the blade.

Which plate should I start with?

If you are new to traditional wet shaving or shave every day, we highly recommend starting with the Closed Comb (Straight Foam Edge) plate to master your technique. Once you are comfortable, or if you let your beard grow out for a week, swap to the Open Comb plate to clear the heavy growth effortlessly.

Standard shipping is tracked wherever available through destination postal/courier networks, and ships via reliable International Air Mail where tracked service is not available.

Refusing a parcel at customs results in actual round-trip courier return fees being deducted from your refund.

What is your return policy, 12-hour cancellation window, and 24-hour transit damage protocol?+

Orders operate on a strict 12-hour cancellation window from the time of purchase before locking for warehouse fulfillment.

Helpful Hardware Tips: (1) On Henson razors, ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade during assembly so the blade edge engages properly; (2) On DOVO carbon-steel straight razors, blot the blade dry after every shave and store outside steamy bathrooms to prevent oxidation.

Where are Merkur safety razors manufactured?+

All Merkur safety razors are precision-engineered and manufactured in Solingen, Germany—often referred to as the 'City of Blades.' They are renowned globally for their traditional craftsmanship and superior metallurgical quality.

What is the difference between Merkur closed comb and open comb razors?+

A closed comb razor, like the classic Merkur 34C, has a straight safety bar ideal for everyday shaving and sensitive skin. An open comb razor features teeth that channel thicker, longer hair directly to the blade, making it perfect for heavy beard growth.

Are Merkur razors heavy and durable?+

Yes. Most Merkur razors feature a heavy brass core finished with premium chrome plating. This engineered weight allows the razor to do all the work, requiring zero pressure and reducing skin irritation during your daily shave.
