Merkur 37C

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I bought a Merkur 37c, and love everything about it. The handle is great. The weight is great. And I am comfortable the shave is much smoother both while shaving and in the final result.
- If you want to try something a little different, but not radically different, look at a Merkur 37c. Its form factor is the same as the 34c, but the head is a slant head. It will give you a closer shave than the 34, with no drop in smoo...
- before I got the Rocca, for years I used a Merkur 37c. It’s a slant and works wonders on 2, 3, or 4 days’ growth. It’s less than half the cost of the Rocca, and is truly stellar on 2-4 day stubble.
- When you decide to try “something more aggressive,” look at the Merkur 37c. It has the same form factor as the 34c, but uses a slant head. I find it to be incredibly smooth both in the shave itself as well as in the result.
- My suggestion to you is the Merkur 37c. It feels just like the 34, but is more aggressive. No learning curve; you shave with it just like you shave with your 34, and yet it yields a closer shave.
Cons
- I had the 37C for awhile but I would recommend the RazoRock German 37 for a clone that’s a three piece so you can get a nicer handle (and it’s cheaper)

If you want to try something a little different, but not radically different, look at a Merkur 37c. Its form factor is the same as the 34c, but the head is a slant head. It will give you a closer shave than the 34, with no drop in smoothness or ease of use.

Finally, if you want something different, have a look at the Merkur 37c. While it’s a slant, there is no difference in technique from what you are using right now.
The 37c works best for me on two days growth. Lots of Redditors say the same about shaving in general, but I find it to be a razor-by-razor thing.
My preference is a Merkur 37c. It’s a slant design and it gives a better shave for me than either of the other two. It feels smooth as glass when shaving and the result is perfect. The result is about the same as the R41, but the comfort while shaving is much higher with the Merkur.
I have both the R41 and the Merkur 37c, and would strongly recommend the 37c over the R41. The shave itself is much, much smoother with the Merkur, and the result is the same. The curious thing about the Merkur is that I can put any blade in it and get a great, close shave.
Merkur 37c. In my world it’s a perfect razor. Smooth but efficient. I can get a BBS shave with almost any blade
