Review: Something old but new! - I didn't want to write a review about this product immediately and give a false review. I have had this DE razor now several weeks and can say it was a great investment. For a while now, I have been frustrated with buying expensive razor refills for my fusion razor and decided I wanted to try something old but new. I figured I would try jumping on the new trend of going back to an old style of shaving with no gimmicks. After looking at several review websites of DE razors I decided on this one. It seemed like a good intro razor for DE razor shaving. It has exceeded my expectations by far and wouldn't even consider putting my fusion razor back against my face, I have given the remainder of my fusion blades away. The razor itself has a nice hefty feel in your hand and feels sold, the textured handle has plenty of grip so it doesn't slip in your wet hands while shaving. I like the fact that the handle is black because I'm not a fan of all things chrome. This razor comes in a short and long handle design, I chose the long handle design because I am use to the handle length of the current razors out on the market so I didn't have to worry about adjusting how I hold it with a traditional short handle DE razor. I will say there is a learning curve, visit a blog or two on DE razor technique and you will understand what I mean. I get the same close shave as I have with my fusion now that I am starting to become more comfortable with DE razor Technique. I would say I have an average beard and with the right blade this razor will slice right through it. I found the merker blade that came with it to be a bit blah and not up to the job so I bought a 80 blade variety pack to see what can tame these wild whiskers. So far the Gillette 7oclock and feather blades have been top contenders for my go to blades with this razor. Hope any or all of this info helps you with your razor choice. In closing, if it was good enough for dad Then it's good enough for me. Sometimes the things of old were never broken and we shouldn't have tried to fix them, DE shaving is one of them. There is no need for fancy multi blade razors! Review: Fantastic Razor for Entering the Wet-Shave World - I purchased this razor as my entry into the world of traditional, wet shaving. At first, I tried another razor with a standard (i.e. short) handle. After years of using cartridge razors with long handles, it wasn't as comfortable for me. Thus, I searched for a better overall quality brand in a long handle version. I came across the Merkur 20C and am extremely happy with how it performs. Pros: - Excellent weight and balance. - Pattern on handle allows for solid grip even when wet. - Good length, especially for larger hands or those transitioning to this type of razor. - Excellent quality construction makes this an exceptional value for the price paid. - Outstanding entry razor...but may just be the only one you ever need. - Attractive appearance. Cons: - Only includes one blade in the package. Overall, I am extremely happy with the razor and the value that I received at this price point.

Overall I'm extremely happ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Razor with less cuts; fine balance *by L***A on April 13, 2020* Prior owner of a Edwin Jagger safety razor, which was a little too top heavy which resulted in knicks & cuts on occasion. I switched to Merkur on a suggestion of a friend and it was a good move. The grip handle material provides better connectivity to the hand; the balance is evenly weighed and, the shave is lighter providing no knicks & cuts. I gave it 4-stars because even though it is lighter and 'safer' IMO, the shave is not as "clean/close" as the Edwin, nor does it look as nice. However, after all that being said, the Merkur, overall is a better SAFETY razor for my skill set. ## Frequently Bought Together - Merkur Double Edge Blade Razor, Black - Merkur Razor Double Edge Razor Blades, MK-911, 10 Count (Pack of 1) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://bermuda.desertcart.com/products/26940606-20c-double-edge-safety-razor-long-handle-black-anodized-aluminum](https://bermuda.desertcart.com/products/26940606-20c-double-edge-safety-razor-long-handle-black-anodized-aluminum) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bermuda* *Store origin: BM* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
