I might actually just do that, if not for the weight, it has a longer handle. It's so cheap anyway!
My recent package in the mail was a 37C and MWF.
So I loaded the 37C with the included Merkur blade, lathered up the MWF and had a fantastic shave.
Second shave with the 37C was a full head shave. Bit me a couple of times on the head, but again a fantastic close shave.
Third shave was great, fourth shave a Silver Blue went in as the blade and again has a great shave.
The 37C has given me some of the easiest closest shaves I've ever had. That with the MWF basically just replaced everything on my counter.
The merkur blade is way too harsh for me, especially in the slant... voskhod is nice tho
I've shaved a few times with the Silver Blue, and I'm not sure about it. Getting good shaves, but the feel is sort-of "vague". May try a Feather next...
I have my eye on a 37c. I'm still new and working on my technique. But I suspect that the 37c will be my third razor.
I currently have a Maggard MR6. My second razor will be an open comb, third will be a slant.
Well I have received the 37C and used it and here are my thoughts.
1. The Merkur blade that came with it sucked.
2. Using one of the 3 preferred brands that I currently have, I was getting a smooth shave.
3. It does shave better than my 34C
4. I see no reason to go with the 39C for the weight of the 37C is heavy enough
5. DO NOT put added pressure/weight to the safety razor
6. I have a big hands and fingers, the short handle is actually a perfect choice for it's better to hold it with two fingers than to grip the entire handle (large or small)
I understand why it's a better shave: the guillotine concept.
As for now I am a slant user. The only thing I am curious about is open-comb-slant. But I didn't see Merkur making one and if I go that route I would prefer Merkur that looks just like the 34C & 37C.
