Merkur safety razor 39C slant

The Merkur 39C Slant Bar Safety Razor is the bigger brother of the Merkur 37C safety razor, which in turn is the aggressive version of the famous Merkur 34C model. The Merkur 39C razor, ideal for tough beards, differs from its little brother Merkur 37C due to its long handle and overall higher weight.
The intended aggressiveness of this razor is provided by Merkur’s design, which has perfectly implemented the oblique inclination of the razor blade once inserted into the razor. This is the cause of its controlled aggressiveness.
One of the highest quality razors ever from Merkur. The Merkur 39C Slant is a 2-piece safety razor: you have to unscrew the knob located on the bottom of the handle, lift the head and insert the blade.

Sold with a Merkur Super razor blade included in the package.

Length: 110mm
Handle Diameter:12mm
Weight:110gr

Tightening a safety razor correctly does not mean cranking it down hard until you damage the threads. Proper tightening usually involves a small final turn once you’ve reached the stop. In addition, to preserve the handle’s threading, it’s recommended to always join the head and handle while keeping them perfectly straight and aligned.

A well-maintained safety razor lasts a long time and stays looking good, which is why cleaning after every use is an essential step. Daily maintenance doesn’t require complicated procedures: after shaving, rinse thoroughly with warm water and a mild cleanser (such as hand soap or shampoo), then dry each part carefully.

We also recommend not leaving the blade installed and dirty in the razor. If it stays damp and covered with residue, the blade can start micro-oxidation; over time these marks can transfer or leave stains on the razor as well, worsening the appearance of the finish.

Special attention for zamak razors: with this material it’s important to disassemble, rinse, and dry every single component after use. In particular, the top cap thread is an area where water and residue can easily build up: if neglected, over time this can trigger corrosion and wear, eventually weakening the thread and compromising functionality.

To protect materials and finishes, avoid any “extreme” methods: do not boil the razor, do not put it in the dishwasher, and do not use harsh products or aggressive procedures. Even on high-quality razors, these practices can damage chrome plating, anodizing, and other coatings.

Do you have a brass razor and want to restore its shine? A simple remedy is to soak the components in a bowl with lemon juice for about 10–15 minutes. Then rinse and dry with a soft, scratch-free cloth for a clean, bright finish.
