Safety razor models with a fixed blade gap are suitable for beginners, offering a close and gentle shave even for longer body hair. Examples include 23C (23001) or 34C (34001). When choosing a model, personal preferences (large/small, light/heavy) can guide the decision. We also recommend starting with an affordable model (e.g., 33C / 33001). This minimizes frustration in case the safety razor does not meet your expectations. Generally, one safety razor is rarely enough, as many opt for an additional one for the shower or travel.

This question cannot be answered universally, as it is a highly individual decision. Some people prefer large, heavy tools, while others favor small, lightweight ones. Experience has shown that personal preferences for tools should also guide your choice of safety razors. Feel free to read our blog on the different types of safety razors.

Models with a fixed blade gap are the gentlest options, making them suitable for all body areas. As always, care is essential when using sharp blades. The Model 24C features an extended razor head that now also covers the blade on the short sides. This ensures the blade is safely enclosed in tighter areas.

Adjustable safety razors are ideal for users who want flexibility and control over their shaving experience. These razors allow you to customize the blade gap to suit your individual needs, whether you prefer a gentler shave or a closer, more aggressive one. This versatility makes adjustable razors suitable for both beginners seeking comfort and experienced users looking for precision.

For example, the MERKUR Model 24C is an excellent choice for body shaving and provides additional features for enhanced customization. The adjustable settings cater to a variety of hair types and shaving preferences, ensuring a tailored and efficient shave for everyone.

Safety razors with a fixed blade gap are definitely suitable for women and are very effective for body shaving. Many young women appreciate safety razors because they are environmentally friendly, avoiding plastic, and easy to keep clean for a hygienic shave. According to our experience, women also choose models from across our entire range. Learn more in our blog!

The MERKUR Model 24C (24201) is specifically designed for body shaving. The extra-long handle provides extended reach, and the razor head covers the blade on the short sides for a safe shave even in tight areas.
The pink packaging includes usage instructions and 10 razor blades. With us, pink is directly more affordable compared to blue.

Our entry-level models offer a gentle and precise shave. Choose according to your skin type.

The classic double-edged blade is produced by many manufacturers worldwide and is widely available in stores. The best quality is typically the Rust-Free Platinum variant offered by most producers. You can find these blades in drugstores, numerous online shops, or directly on merkur-razors.com!

You can clean your safety razor and brush gently and effectively with a hair shampoo to remove the greasy residue of shaving soap. A mild dishwashing detergent is also suitable. The razor will shine again, and the brush hairs will be freed from grease. Acids are harmful to both razor and brush, as they attack the surfaces.

For particularly thick beard growth, we recommend the slant models 37C or 39C.
For an even more intense shaving experience, adjustable models are ideal (e.g.,Futur 700). With a larger blade gap (>0.6mm), the skin is massaged more, allowing for a deeper shave.
