What are the benefits of using Merkur razors?
There are several benefits to using our razors with traditional wet shaving compared to dry shaving:
· Shaving with our razors will provide the closest possible shave.
· It's very cost-effective, saving you a lot of money over time compared to disposable razors.
· It's better for the environment. Mother Earth will thank you!
· It's a skill you can hone! You don't have to rely on your barber anymore once you master your wet shaving skills.
· Less razor bumps and irritation and tremendously reduces the risk of ingrown hairs.
How do I care for my razors?
Generally speaking, not much special care is required other than rinsing your razor out with water to clean out any gunk.
To clean the razor, we recommend using a gentle dish soap solution to give it a deeper clean and then towel drying. If necessary, use a non-abrasive soft pad with a vinegar solution to polish out any discoloration that might appear over time.
Can I use your razors on any part of my body?
Absolutely! Our razors are perfect for any part of your body, from head to toe and everywhere in between. The added benefit of being able to control the amount of blade exposure lets you dial into a new level of comfort for a smooth and hassle-free shave, even for the most sensistive areas.
Can Merkur razors be used by both men and women?
Yes indeed! Merkur razors are made with everyone and every body in mind. That means our razors are guaranteed to deliver the best shave for anyone.
How often should I replace the blades?
To best maintain the closeness of your shave, we suggest replacing the blade on average every 5-10 shaves.
As every shaving routine is unique, the frequency of changing blades will vary, in which some people can even go a few months before replacing.
Ultimately there is no right answer to this other than experimenting with Merkur razors and blades to discover what works best for you!
Are your products natural?
Yes! All of our soft good products are made using natural ingredients that are carefully formulated to create skin-friendly shaving products.
Do you offer extended warranties?
We offer free replacements, free returns and a 100% quality guarantee up to 60 days after purchasing the razor to customers who purchased their product(s) directly from our website or our Amazon Store. After this point, we're happy to help you get any replacement parts you need free of charge, we just ask that you cover the cost of shipping the parts ($7 flat rate to the United States, $10 flat rate in Canada).
We are not able to offer support on any orders that were purchased from a 3rd party retailer, in which they operate on their own policies regarding refunds and warranties. We encourage you to contact the store or seller from which you purchased if you experience any issues.
