Description

ABSOLUTELY NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!!!
I WILL NOT SHIP THIS ITEM INTERNATIONALLY!!!
You are bidding on an
EXTREMELY RARE 1930's MERKUR - SUPER SLANT
- Safety Razor. I've searched for a very long time, I've only ever seen two for sale, and I bought both of them.
THE RAZOR:
•
The
ORIGINAL SILVER
plating on the handle and the
ORIGINAL NICKLE
plating on the top-cap and the blade-guard are bright and shinny with signs of age, use, and very light plate loss.
•
There are no cracks nor hair-line fracture in the handle shaft.
•
The
ORIGINAL MERKUR
trademarks on the base of the handle are deep and legible, and the knurling is well textured.
•
The top-cap screws and unscrews
PERFECTLY SMOOTH
into the handle.
•
The blade-guard is strongly affixed to the handle without any movement whatsoever.
•
The blade-guard bars are laser straight without any bends whatsoever.
•
The razor has been sterilized in Barbicide and is ready for use.
THE SHAVE:
In my opinion (YMMV), this two piece razor provides an
UNPARALLELED SHAVE;
extremely efficient, extremely smooth with good blade feedback. This razor is more efficient
at removing whiskers and less irritating to the skin than its baby brother the Merkur 37C, and it delivers an effortless baby-butt-smooth shave after two passes. The razor weighs 79 grams, the handle is 3" long, and the blade-guards angle downward at an aggressive 9° (it sure does look vicious). I’ve owned and shaved with several hundred vintage and modern safety razors, and this Merkur Super Slant safety razor is without a doubt my very favorite safety razor; period. Lucky for you, I own two, and I only need one.
