GIVEAWAY! Let the PIFs continue! Merkur 37C slant razor

[tejolot3]

I'm in.

My go-to razor is a Merkur 34C. It was the first DE razor I got back over a decade ago when I first started, and I don't collect razors, so it's one of only two that I currently have and use. So I'm curious to compare it to my faithful old 34C.

Well, after a bout of new purchases, I'm trying to thin the heard in my shave den of things that don't get used, one of which is the Merkur 37C slant razor.

It's not a bad shaver, it is not more aggressive or more difficult to use than the 34C (except for straightening off sideburns, I sometime look a little like Spock). I just never use it. Frankly I can't tell the difference between the shave with a 34C or 37C, and I'm not alone. Some significant percentage of folks who use a slant swear by them, others wonder what all the hullabaloo is about. But to me, it's just clutter, so hopefully someone will adopt it and give it a good home.

If you've not tried a slant and want to see which camp you fall into, or if you have another slant and want to try this classic, hop on IN! This is open to international shavers, I hate to limit it, but if your shipping is way more than U.S. I may ask you to venmo or PayPal me shipping minus $9 (what I'd pay for a small one-rate box in the U.S.). But you're welcome to participate. I'll probably do the wheel of names next Saturday, August 31.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Always wanted to try a slant and see if I find it better or if I even notice a difference. Count me in and thank you.

The 34C is hard to beat, isn’t it? I wonder what percentage of members here have one and used it extensively, at least at some point in their shave journey.

Wonderful PIF!!

Slants don’t work for me, so respectfully not in. Someone will get a fine razor!!

+1! Yep, ‘The 34C is hard to beat..’ At least IME.

I'm in.
I lost my 37C years ago and remember enjoying the shaves with it. Thanks for a generous offer!

 

[Dools]

Not in. LOVE my 39C, for I think about 9-10 years now. Wonderful razor!

Good luck to all those that are "in".

Count me in. Never really looked at slants but it certainly interests me.

I often do a J-hook on the concave parts of my neck left and right of my Adam's apple. Is it advisable to do this with a slant, or will that draw blood?
