I especially value the Merkur brand. I haven’t tried the other ones you mention yet. Excellent article, thank you. I wrote a piece comparing cartridge to safety razors. I find that safety razors are superior: http://permabuy.com/safety-razors-vs-cartridge-razors/
Hey Dominic! Which razor is that at the beginning of the article in the first first picture? My grandpa had it and I’ve been looking for it everywhere!
I’m not 100% sure because the image I used is a generic razor I got from a stock image library. However, I think it is pretty similar to the Parker Long-Handled razor, possibly a short-handled version.
I’ve had the Merkur long handle for just under 2 years. I really like the way it shaves. However, for no explained reason the comb on one side of the base plate just broke off. I never dropped it. I can’t seem to find a replacement base plate without purchasing the whole razor.
The fact that you are only recommending stuff on Amazon where you earn a kickback is going to skew your impartiality with your readers. Lots of good stuff isn’t available on Amazon. I suppose getting affiliate dollars is the whole point of the article. At least the principles are good.

Thanks Georgie, nice article. The Merkur is definitely a great safety razor, no doubt.
