This razor can be disassembled into its individual parts (lid, comb and handle) like the proven Merkur travel razor, but has a 2 cm longer handle. The blade is clamped in both in a sandwich construction in the arc, which gives it the correct cutting angle and allows a particularly close shave - even with heavy beard growth. Disassembled, the razor finds room in the included leather case, which also holds a dispenser for ten razor blades. We have the case made from our Manufactum leather.

Merkur is one of those Solingen smithies specialising in one product group for almost 100 years: In Merkur’s case, this product is safety razors for double-edged razor blades. They are much easier and safer to operate than open razors but sharper and, factoring in blade costs, more economical than multi-blade razors.
