The MERKUR 39C is an angled shaver for wiry and thick beard growth. With its heavy weight and angled shaving head, it handles even the most difficult tasks effortlessly and thoroughly. Its fans call it Sledgehammer, the sledgehammer for tough jobs. The knurled handle in the Barber Pole gives you a secure and comfortable grip. Angled razors are characterised by the twist in the comb and cover around the longitudinal axis. This makes the blade stiffer and gives it a sharper shaving angle. The large blade gap of the closed comb is good for the flow of lather and hair so that the cutting edge remains clean.
