Merkur (Solingen) Safety Razors and Blades

Merkur safety razors are high quality, precision made, classic double-edge safety razors made in Solingen, Germany. They are designed to shave with the use of lots of hot water, a shaving brush, and good shaving soaps. When you are ready to shave, soak your brush in hot water (ideally just the bristles). Allow the excess water to drain from the bristles, then gently work up some lather with your brush on your soap. Badger hair efficiently releases hot water and lather together as it is brushed up and down the face, making a thick, rich, opaque layer of lather (much better lather than a person can make with fingertips alone.) A shaving brush also gently cleans the skin before shaving. The hot water softens the whiskers. The up and down brushing makes the whiskers stand straight up in the thick lather, so the shaving blade cuts the whiskers off most effectively. Shaving with a safety razor should always be done in the direction the whiskers grow or lay on the face. This is usually done gently pulling the razor down the face and neck. Notice we said gently. Most of us have gotten used to the disposable blades, which are not nearly as sharp and thin, and require more pressure against the face. After shaving with your safety razor for a period of time, if you feel that you would like a slightly closer shave, one can gently shave in the opposite direction. However those just starting out, people with more sensitive skin, or those prone to ingrown hairs should perhaps not avail themselves of this option as redness and razor burn are likely to happen. Just remember, the experience of fine shaving requires slower, careful, gentle strokes. Don't press down!! It is possible that while re-learning(!) the art of shaving, a nick or two is likely to happen to all of us. It's just your face telling you to wake up and pay attention to the wonders of fine shaving! After finishing your shave, thoroughly rinse the brush and the safety razor. They should give many years of effective use.
