Kudos for including an "Art of Shaving" Merkur HD. The blades for it were priced at $9 for 10 blades, who charges that much? Even the Swedes are cheaper than that.
I'll rip the text for the HD, don't tell the Post!

The Art of Shaving Safety Razor
New York's luxury men's grooming brand offers a double-edged safety razor, handmade in Germany, with an elegant heavy chrome handle and a platinum razor blade.
Smooth Move: The sleek silver look was a big hit with our testers -- one described it as "the razor Pierce Brosnan would use." Our sensitive-skinned shaver (for whom shaving is "a tragic, uphill battle") praised it for being "virtually pain-free" and the single-blade style made grooming especially easy for our bearded tester.
Razor Burn: The razor's shape and style made it difficult for some to shave hard-to-reach areas. One tester complained that he ended up with a lot of cuts from the blade, while another said he couldn't get a close enough shave. Assembling the razor and loose blade seemed dangerous, and there are no instructions.
Details: Razor, $45 at www.theartofshaving.com. 10 safety blades, $9.
