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.
š± 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.
