I like the two piece design of the 37C. In the bigger picture both are inexpensive and you can recoup most of the purchase price on BST if it doesn't work out.
I had a 37C and sold it in favor of a Hoffritz Slant, which is gorgeous. Both razors shave equally as well and if you want to give a slant a go, I would not hesitate to give the Merkur a try.
A far more gorgeous 37C...Isn't the Hoffritz a rebranded Merkur? Basically the Germans and Europeans came up with a great design and they sold it to the American companies. Then Mr. Gillette came up with the Gillette slide. Same principal.

Sorry you don't like my post sir. Generalizations about any people are mostly unfair and unnecessary.The innovation doesn't matter. It just has to be pretty and Americans line up to get it! People make money on that premise everyday. Sad! It is what our society pushes. I would choose an original Merkur because the thinking behind it. The new one is not the same.

Take a breather guys. We're talking about a razor here. It's just shaving!
After reading a lot of reviews at their site, I pulled the trigger on the Maggards slant head. I will use my Rockwell handle with it, to give it some heft. At $19.95, it was a no brainer. Thanks!I find the RR slant to be a liiitle more aggressive than 37c. I prefer the Merkur over the RR. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but don't leave out of the equation the Maggard Slant. Very affordable too.

I too have found them a very good company to deal with, and will eventually try their own products.@Reinier Ramirez
You are very welcome. I think you will like it, fit and finish seems to be quite good, and I get excellent shaves from it. I prefer razors that are a notch more aggressive than the Merkur 34. This razor paired with a Polsilver, or Feather, or Gillette Nacet blade works very well for me. Take it easy in the beginning and I think you will be rewarded.

I have their slant and one of their 26mm synthetic brushes. These are excellent products for the price. The folks at the shop are very friendly too. I am a satisfied customer although I cannot order as much as I want from them because I am not in the US.
