Hello all, I just wanted to share what a great experience Im having with my 38C. I tend to prefer razors with bigger, longer handles and after my ATT R1 was such a bust, I saw how cheap the 38Cs are, so I figured why not.
Ive had a couple Merkur razors in the past, I started out with a 23C, then went to a 1908, then tried a 34C, then I went the Muhle R89/R41 route, then tried some vintage Gillettes and ended up with an ATT R1.
I was never a big Merkur fan because it seemed like you always had to align the blades and with my 34C, when it arrived the bottom plate was crooked, so I returned it.
This 38C is awesome though. Its flawless, the blades thus far have it perfectly and it gives me great, irritation free shaves with little to no nicks/cuts and gives me BBS shaves with 4 passes. I love the weight of it, the length of the handle and the way the handle looks.
Im actually considering picking up another one to keep around as a spare, just incase this one ever breaks.
