The MERKUR 42C was developed more than 100 years ago in the early days of planer shaving. Its original design and reliable quality make it a timeless classic: the hexagonal handle and knob provide a good grip even with wet, soapy fingers. The straight foam edge of the razor head, which has been tried and tested for 100 years, provides an intuitive and reliable smooth shave. The compact handle makes shaving a breeze and the closed comb is an all-rounder for classic wet shaving. The generous blade gap enables a high soap flow and protects the razor head from clogging with hair or foam residues.
