Is that because It seemed light? Is that handle hollow?
JohnnyO said:I do believe that the main problem you may encounter with a Merkur is the rather capitalist one of aquiring more of them S/Phil. However, worry not, by buying more kit you are supporting the workers & producers of the world. (& also getting yourself some truly gr8 shaves).

NotTheStig said:I had one for a while. It was nicely made and has a fairly aggressive head. Great for ploughing through the stubble. If you like the mildness of the Tech (like me) then you could try the 42 for the first pass then second and tidy up with the Tech (I did this for a while and this worked well for me). The handle is about the size of a Tech's so if you like the length it'll suit. The hexagonal shape feels unusual but I quite liked it. reminded me of an Ever Ready single edge razor.
I sold mine on here a few months back - stuck it on about 9am on a weekday and it was sold within about twenty minutes, so if you didn't like it it's a popular choice that could sell quickly.
