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.
The MERKUR 11 INOX razor series is the original version of the two-piece safety razor from the 1920s. Crafted from satin-finished stainless steel, the 11 INOX is also sophisticated: few other safety razors can match the smooth and gentle shave this classic provides.
Honorably Designed and Made in Germany.
Two-Piece Safety Razor
Straight Cut, Open Tooth Comb
Comes in a folding box with one blade
A safety razor with an open comb is the original version of the classic safety razor. The blade rests securely on the 11 teeth without wobbling. You’ll intuitively feel the best angle for the razor and achieve perfect shaving results right away. The space between the teeth allows soap and hair to drain away, ensuring thorough cleaning and a hygienic shave.
Materials
Handle made of stainless steel (1.4301), razor head with cover and comb made of 316L / 1.4404 satin finish, Stainless Steel blades.

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.
