I've seen Merkur Mustache razors.... having a mustache/goatee I'm intrigued. I always use a Norelco beard trimmer... it would be cool to have a razor do all of that. Has anyone used one or know anything about them?

I have a Merkur Mustache razor and it does a very poor job. The blades are no good and I found myself cutting myself.
I am not downgrading Merkur razors in general, my favorate razor is a Merkur Slant Bar (I think it is the finest razor in the world).
I have a rather large handlebar moustache and I trim under the ends of my moustache at the end of my lip with my slant bar.
I hope this advice will help you.

Stan's right, the blades in those razors are junk, mine won't cut the hair on my arm let alone my whiskers. Kinda turned me off to Merkur, but now I have a HD, Slant and a Progress and I love then. The HD came with a Merkur blade and it was great also. Don't know why the blades for the mustache razors suck but the whole 5 pack that i bought were dull.
Hmmm..... weird - I have one, and the blades I have work just fine. I find that if your try to cut dry hair, it is miserable, but provided you soften the hair with warm water, and cut damp hair, I find mine to work surprisingly well. If you have any shave oils, or a quality shave gel (non aerosol - something like King Of Shaves Gel) it makes all the difference in the world.
Initially though - I was trying to cut dry hair, and was not a happy camper. If a lot of guys are having bad experiences though - might want to pass, and stay on the safe side.

I found using hair conditioner in advance made a difference, but for trimming up my mustache and goatee, it's just much easier to use an electric!

I have tried shaving oils, puck soaps, English tub creams etc.
The blades would not cut, I had to apply pressure to the razor before it would trim the moustache, that is when I would cut myself.
These blades are very dull, in my opion, as compaired to the regular Merkur DE Blades, in sharpness I would rate Merkur DE Blades on a scale of 1 to 10 a 7, Feather DE Blades a 10.
I would rate the sharpness of the Moustache Razor Blades by Merkur a 1.
It has the sharpness of the top of a tin can.
It's too bad as Merkur makes a fine line of razors and blades.

Schick used to make a great moustache trimmer. It was called the Injector. I've found nothing works better.
Brandon,
You could always use tweezers.
