A beast with good manners

This one was actually a gift for my son (who borrowed mine on his last visit and loved it). It's long and heavy but he's got big mitts and it fit his hands well. The "Sledgehammer" has a reputation for being aggressive and dangerous in the hands of a novice, but I find it to be quite well mannered and easy to use. With proper shaving techniques (good beard prep, short strokes with light-to-zero pressure going with the grain and X-grain), I get a super-smooth shave with absolutely no irritation -- even with my sensitive skin and medium-light beard. I prefer Gillette Platinum and Wilkinson blades with this razor, but as always, YMMV. Shipping from Fendrihan was fast, efficient, and very well packed.

Merkur 39C Slant Sledgehammer Double-Edge Safety Razor

Not sure why other reviewers find this razor so difficult and state that you need to be careful with this razor. It is a pleasure and a joy to use and gave me the closest shave I have ever had. Not only is the shave close, but it is irritation free. Can't think of shaving with anything else.

Merkur 39C Slant Sledgehammer Double-Edge Safety Razor

Like a fine sports car, this razor requires skill and awareness to tame its ���aggressive�۝ nature. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road and you�۪ll drive your way to a close, irritation-free shave every time. It slices through 3 days of growth with ease and achieves super-smooth results in only two passes. I have an extremely sensitive neck area, and the Sledgehammer has served to reduce irritation there by 90% or more due to its superior cutting ability.

Merkur 39C Slant Sledgehammer Double-Edge Safety Razor

I got the Merkur 39C as my first safety razor. The learning curve is fairly high I would say as it weighs a lot more than the Gillette Fusion I was using. This razor might not be the best choice for a first timer but once I got used to it and learned how to properly shave the difference is amazing, I have really coarse hair that grows in multiple directions pairing this Merkur with Feather blades is amazing. Zero razor burn no tugging on the hairs like I was feeling with the Fusion, I'll never go back.

Merkur 39C Slant Sledgehammer Double-Edge Safety Razor

Just got this razor. Fendrihan did an excellent job as usual in getting this product to me quickly and expertly packaged. Razor has a excellent weight and feel in the hand. I like the longer handle. Very close shave and pleasant to use. The next day my face still felt smooth. Not as intimidating as I thought it would be. I look forward to using this razor over the others. Nicely done Merkur.

Great review

The 1470 has a smaller knot, but a lot more backbone. It holds plenty of lather for a 3 pass shave. I've used it only have lathering, where it has worked fine. It hasn't spayed out a ton, but that could always change after using it more. It didn't bother me at all, but there was a very faint animal smell that lasted after a larger or two. Nice shipping from Fendrihan.

Purchased this beautifully crafted brush for my dad to celebrate his 93rd birthday. He has a nice head of white hair and was desperately in need of a new brush. He was thrilled with the look and feel of his new brush!

Excellent formulation. Great, persistent lather. Scent somewhat unusual, but nice and interesting. Scent does not linger long on the face after shaving. Great value.

This particular comb, however, is a touch above even other high-quality horn combs. It doesn't have the pungent animalic smell of other brands, though it clearly is real horn. The fit-and-finish of every element is top notch. The spacing of the comb tines is just right; it adjusts hair as much as one wants while gliding smoothly and not pulling at all. The weight is solid enough to make sure the comb will last a long time, while not being burdensome to hold. The size is the perfect middle-ground between too small to be of effect, and too large to comfortably handle. Lastly, it's a beautiful comb fit for display.

This is my favorite shave cream.Strong smokey scent. May not be for everyone but I use it in my Dirty Bird Scuttle and add a tiny bit of water to mix up a batch of hot lather.

Beautiful razor base stand. If I’m nitpicking it’s so much larger than most. It really stands out, and kinda doesn’t blend with the rest of the stands in my razor collection. But functionally it’s perfect.

Ideal for shorter hair and Garibaldi beard. The impressive things are the quality materials and the way it distributed natural oils. Flakes are gone.

This is a great brush. I think the soft bristles are perfect for relatively short hair and my Garibaldi beard. The big revelation is the way it distributed natural oils. My dry scalp and beard is eliminated. No flakes.
