The wife bought me one of the cute little Merkur things for Christmas. I've been using it to clean up above the ears and to get those 5-6 hairs right under the nose that always seem to leave a tiny bit of stubble on days I want a really perfect shave. I also find it work to tame those wild eyebrow hairs I'm starting to get, but I need to be really careful not to shave off too much. Does anyone else use one of these? Have you found any other uses for it?
Can it shave your face? I ask because before I grew my goatee back I had a stashe and a soul patch and always had a hard time navigating the narrows between. I almost bought one at the time.
Yes, it has two sides. The wider side has a HUGE blade gap that works well on the eyebrows and over the ears. The narrow side is basically a 1/8" wide razor that appears designed for detail work.
I love the idea of it and think they'd be very useful, but cooncatbob has pointed out the one reason I haven't purchased one yet - the only blades you can get for it are made by Merkur.
