The MERKUR 42C 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 hexagonal handle and the knob provide a good grip even with wet, soapy fingers. The straight foam edge of the tried-and-true razor head, which has been around for 100 years, leads intuitively and reliably to a smooth shave. With the compact handle, shaving flows effortlessly, 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.
