Solingen Merkur Shave Scraper 47C

Classic Scraper Shaves Cheaper Than Gilette

This Classic Merkur Razor has a longer handle and has been the most popular alternative to shaving with Gillette razor blades for years. This classic razor (also known as grandpa's scraper) allows you to easily shave completely smooth. It also prevents ingrown hairs. In addition, shaving is many times cheaper, because you can buy the blades in a set of 10 for only € 4.95. On average, you can shave a week with one blade.

Old-fashioned quality and simple to use

The razor is manufactured by Merkur in Solingen, Germany, which specializes in shaving products and is made to the highest quality standard. The blade is made of steel that is chrome-plated. This protects it from rust and makes it last for years. The pattern in the handle ensures that you always have a good grip. Replacing the blade is a matter of unscrewing the head and inserting the new blade, safely and quickly.

How do you shave with a classic razor?

Shaving with a scraper takes some getting used to. You hardly need to apply any pressure, the weight of the scraper itself provides enough pressure. Keep the blade at a 30-degree angle as much as possible. With a stiff/thicker beard use short strokes, with a lighter beard you can make longer strokes.
Cuts can only occur when placing the blade on your skin. In the beginning it is advisable to hold the guard against your skin and then change the angle to 30 degrees. It is best to pull your skin taut by tensing your face and neck muscles.

Take your time while shaving to get the best results.
