Merkur
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- From reputable brands like Rockwell, Muhle, and Merkur, I know that’s a user tightening down too much on the handle.
- branched into TOOBS and Truefitt & Hill with this same Merkur.
- A Merkur is good, but the safest and easiest double edge razor to use is a Henson AL13 (the standard/mild, not the medium AL13-M).
- I have the Merkur and my first bulk blade buy was Gillette 7 o’clock yellows. I found this combination to be very forgiving but still gave excellent results.
- I started with a nice Merkur, lost it during a hurricane
Cons
- If cost is a concern, don't go for something like the Leaf or Merkur.
- If choosing between Razorock Gamechanger and Merkur, I'd hit the Razorock. Sadly Merkur's quality has been declining in recent years.
- I had a merkur as well and the chrome plating started to flake off in a few areas.
- I started using it when I got annoyed by how often my Merkur would get clogged with hair.
- Night and day to my modern Merkur, or anything else I've used.

But with dress watches you will be much better of checking out merkur, or baltany.
