The MERKUR Model 38C Black Handle safety razor (Item No. 38011) was introduced at the beginning of the new millennium and has since become a popular choice for wet shavers who prefer a heavier razor with excellent balance. The long, solid handle with black anodized finish fits especially well in larger hands and provides outstanding control during every stroke.
The closed comb shaving head with straight cut geometry delivers a smooth, forgiving shave and is well suited for daily use. The long screw post ensures that the blade sits firmly and evenly, contributing to stable blade alignment and consistent shaving performance. This makes the MERKUR 38C a gentle yet efficient safety razor, also recommended for beginners in traditional wet shaving.
The razor features a two-piece construction: the lower head plate is permanently connected to the handle, while the top cap is released via the twist knob at the end of the handle. This design allows fast blade changes while keeping the blade securely clamped during shaving.
Thanks to its substantial weight of 113 grams, the MERKUR 38C lets the razor do most of the work, reducing the need for pressure and helping to minimize skin irritation. A MERKUR SUPER double edge blade is included so you can start shaving immediately.
Made by MERKUR in Solingen, Germany, this safety razor combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and timeless design for reliable, comfortable wet shaving.
