The MERKUR 33C was developed over 100 years ago in the early days of safety razors. Its original design and reliable quality make it a timeless classic: The handle and the knob with the cross knurling in a diamond shape provide a good grip even with wet, soapy fingers. The straight foam edge of the tried-and-true razor head ensures a smooth shave. With its compact handle, the shave flows smoothly and nimbly, and the closed comb is a versatile tool for classic wet shaving. The generous blade gap allows for a high flow of soap and protects the razor head from clogging with hair or foam residue.
