Best praise vs top criticism for Merkur 37C
“I love the slant bars! I have a Parker as well, though I settled on the Merkur 37 C as my daily driver. That model combines the slant bar with a short handle. Anyway, enjoy that Parker, sir!”
“I would say, i agree with you. I have three Merkur razors. I’ve got a 37C, which isn’t great either, but definitely better than this one. It has a lack of chrome plating on the lower part of the top cap near the pins, and it doesn’t give me a great feeling in terms of the internal threading, but it works good. It’s certainly not as bad as the Progress. I also have a 41C, the cheapest one, which is a three-piece and its flawless.”
