Blue and Red 38C?
- Thread starter fitzer
- Start date
that's the first I have seen or heard of them but your right they do look damm nice,
they look pretty sweet! I particularly like the red
Just in time for the blue state red state count this comming November
i would love for it to be a threaded fabric grip, the problem is that with the constant exposure to water and soaps, the colour would fade and the smell would be repugnant after a while,
maybe if done in nylon,

Color? Nope...not for me. Design money might have been better spent creating a "higher end" 38C product with the finish like that of the Edwin Jagger razors and a more pronounced Barber Pole handle like that of the finer English Aristocrat Gillettes. Just my opinion.... keep in mind I'm a older hip 47 year old. The color might appeal to younnger enthusiasts.
I don't yet have the Barber Pole Merkur but plan to get one when my 'Shaving Slush Fund' is replenished. As for the red and blue, I don't think I'd use them in my rotation, but they sure would add a little panache to the collection! Afterall, I am a Merkur guy! I have several classic DE's in my collection but the Merkurs are the razors I reach for every day.
Mike, I agree with ya 100%. To your description of an upscale 38C I would add a few gold accents (i.e some gold bands on the barrel) to top it off.
Merkur or Edwin Jager folks - Can you hear us?
Not for me either and i'm 28, if that means anything. I would just think that the color might come off or if there is a scratch it would expose the silver color. Who knows, 20 or 50 years later would this color hold up on these razors. I like the plane silver/crome.
Hmmm...I like the new colors, I am going to have to get one 
I am a bit partial to the matte silver version. Although, I do already have one if one counts soap/hard water film.
