    Great shave Geo. I've since bought a Merkur 15C and it's quickly become one of my favourites. It's not too aggressive but it is very efficient, and as you say very easy to get up under the nose. I've always had smooth and safe shaves with it and so long as you fit a sharp blade it works really well. This seems to be a razor in the Merkur range that needs more publicity! :)

    I own the Merkur 15C, bought it from you Geo. I bought it mainly because we had hard well water at the time, and a three piece razor is easy to clean. It’s been a good shaving razor. I use the Merkur blades as well. Before that I shaved with an L1 Gillette Slim that belonged to my grandfather. I always used witch hazel after wards then the Proraso aftershave.

  • @saurus738
    @saurus738 4 роки тому +3

    As always, great information, love this guy! When I started the first time, I picked 34C (and EJ89) and it has been great, as I gain more experience then I start using this 15C, with event greater results. Close comb works best for me as I shave once a week only, I would recommend if you are a daily shaver, start with 34C or EJ89, less aggressive but gets the job done.

    I need to grow my beard probably 3 days to get what this guy gets in 1 day. A cartridge razer will last me roughly a year before I need to switch it out and even then it's cause I just wanted to switch it not that it stops shaving cleanly. Still it's nice to watch this guy teach how to properly shave.

    Hey Geo. Happy Easter from Canada. It appears that the Merkur 15C head is quite similar or the same as the 46C Bakelite razor. I have a 38C and 46C, and the heads are noticeably different. I find even a milder blade feels more aggressive in the 46C. A comparison video would be quite interesting and helpful. The 46C is a great travel razor. Shave on , and stay safe.

      I guess it's the luck of the draw... Sometimes they get a little scrunched up during shipping. You can roll the bottom over towards the top and push until it straightens out.

    Does anyone know when Merkur first produced this razor? I have seen one on ebay that claimed it was from the 1950s, but the basic design appears to be from the early 1900s, say about 1907.

      Yes, you can switch out the handle with something larger if you'd like. This is still under the R41 in terms of size and aggressiveness.

    • @BrettzGaming56
      @BrettzGaming56 4 роки тому

      I'd probably look into a 15c or even a Merkur 37c slant. Those will do better with a coarse beard than a mild de89.

      Yes, there is.
      It's Merkur 12c with barberpole handle.
      Merkur 12c has the same head as 15c, however its handle is longer and heavier than 15c.
      Sadly, I don't see Merkur 12c being sold on internet sites for shaving products.

    Geo, is 15C as efficient as the r41, but more manageable (i.e., less risky)? If so, it seems like the perfect sweet spot for those of us with sensitive skin but tough beards (and everyday shavers).
    Are there other razors that have a comparable shave to the 15C?

      If the R41 is too aggressive for you, the 15C may be just the ticket.
