Dunno, sounds odd to me. I've got a few, some 50 years old (model 37) and some new 37C and 37G razors and they all seem to work a treat on my coarse stubble. Any old blade, I'm not picky.What gives?
Exactly what I do. I've literally tried out hundreds of razors, and the Merkur 37 ended as my "daily" driver. Between quotes as I don't shave every day.Dunno, sounds odd to me.

I don't worry about blade alignment, some guys try to make it parallel to the cap, others wiggle it around to whatever but I simply put it over the cap posts and clamp down.
