Merkur - 38C Long Handle Barber Pole Safety Razor, Chrome

The 38C razor is one of Merkur's heavyweights in the range. Long-time fans also call him Merkur Barber Pole. It owes its nickname to the characteristic shape of its fluted handle, which was designed based on a Barber Pole. With its non-slip grip, it offers you a firm hold and thanks to its high weight, every move is made with stoic calm. It's a heavy duty razor, made to handle your beard.

This safety razor is longer and heavier than the standard 34C but still suitable for all users due to the closed comb non aggressive design. It will be a great match with a classic Merkur blade or a more aggressive Japanese blade like Feather or KAI.

Material: Brass handle, die-cast zinc razor head, electroplated surfaces, bright chrome
Blade Description: Closed comb, straight cut
Handle Lock: Long screw, two-piece razor
Handle Diameter: 1.2 in
Dimensions: 4.2 cm x 2.5 cm x 10.2 cm

Classic, sturdy, and built for longevity, Merkur is the highest grade of excellence. Crafted and constructed with German engineering and manufacturing.
