I bought this razor after reading some forums on testing / review for the razor safety. Pleasant and positive experience: - The cutting blades associated with the Derby is gentle and effective: a shave in 2 or 3 passes. In fact, no need to press, the sheer weight of the razor enough. We sometimes read that these razors are cutting machines: it's wrong! - The beard hair do not get stuck between the blades as the multi-blade razors: no razor tapping on each pass, efficiency maintained - In this simple model of Merkur, the blade is automatically adjusted and easy to change: operational immediately - The blades cost a little less than 10 cents a piece. This kind of razor is very quickly profitable. (If you have a tough beard, many blades brands exist based on the edge you want) - Complete cleaning of the razor is convenient and helps keep good hygiene. (Washing with hot water or with a little alcohol as needed)
In summary, it is very clean shaven, for cheap with elegant object and we take pleasure in doing these morning gestures. Moreover, we realize that marketing "multiple blade" pays is expensive for less effective. I bought 100 blades for 10 euros. I am alone for 2 years at a rate of one blade per week, is tell you! If I had known earlier ....
