The razor is btw, also available on eBay for the same price and free shipping but on eBay you can select the color to be either Black, Blue, Red or Chrome...even though the pulldown only gives me chrome as an option. Hm...maybe a black one if they have one.
That is not correct. The black, blue, and red are butterfly razors. They are really cheap. I got one. Not worth it.
I also hate all of you. I've got a Merkur 1904 OC that I love using, except I'm not a fan of the handle. Hopefully this will fit it. Order is in.
Hate me, I found it I have been using my Merkur 33 head on the handle and it is great. I have to to agree with others the head is a little off, but I love the handles look and feel. It was worth the price for the handle alone.
I also just ordered a Utopia from amazon. hey for 10 buck seems like a real bargain for a newbie like my self and any one else that's new to wet shaving that wants to save a few dollars !!
As you can see from the posts above to make sure the blade is lined up well.......I bought this razor exclusively for the handle so I do not know how it shaves....the handle is awesome!!
I used it with the head. You do have to pay attention to blade alignment but it is NOT difficult to get set. After that, it is a nice shave. The head was chromed well and had no rough edges. MAybe someday when I get a Merkur 3 piece or something. I can try to use the handle with it. For now I am pleased with my 10 dollar investment.
I found my monster creeping around the mailbox this afternoon. Talk about heavy! I tried and it fits my Merkur 1904 OC head, so I'll be using it for tonight's shave, along with the Derby blades that came with it. The head looks better in person than it does in the pics. Some day when I'm feeling brave I may try it.
Head tried with handle. This one seems to work well and both sides of the blade are parallel to the guard. The head is not the quality of EJ or Mühle but they are sold at a much higher price level. So far so good. Highly efficient with a mild smooth Big Ben on day 1. 2 Pass BBS. Good find Misphit, good find indeed.
