would a merkur slant bar 37 c be suitable for head shaving ? adverts say more of the blade is shown so wondered if it would be too keen .

Canuck said:It does show quite a bit more of the blade yes. Or more than say, the 34C anyway... the angle is different too. I've not cut my face with my 37 slant but within the first 2 days of owning it I'd cut my finger just picking it up out of the rack so it just goes to show that you do have to take a bit of care with one.
Mikael is crazy enough to head shave with a DE so with skill it's very possible, but if I were to have a go (which I'm tempted to one day) then the 37 slant wouldn't be my choice. I think it's asking for cuts to be honest.
