Good but not great4
It doesn't shave as closely as I would like, but for most of my cuts I'm using a comb any way so this is not a big deal. The build quality seems to be better than other Andis units I've seen, and it's fairly easy to clean. When you disassmemble the cutting assembly completely, however, it's a bit of a dance to get Humpty Dumpty all together again.

The big disappointment is that while the cutter is ceramic, the blade is not. WTF? Also, these cermaic cutters chip and break just like their steel counterparts. While I realize that steel and/or ceramic points are naturally going to be weak (structurally), I don't think they should be so fragile- especially when they only have to cut human hair.

So far so great!5
I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years, and I have a pretty simple style (high and tight -- kind of like a Marine cut). I've had 2 other clippers prior to this, and this is the best one yet. As the prior review states, the clipper is ceramic and moves against a steel comb. The primary advantage I find is that these clippers don't get nearly as hot as my old clippers did after 20 minutes of cutting.

As far as cutting close, I use the bare blade (no add'l or different combs used) right on my scalp and I don't think I could get any closer without using a razor. My head feels like the stubble on your chin at the end of the day. The disassembly has been fine, and the unit is easy to clean. The cord is nice and long, and seems to have plenty of power and sharpness for anything I need. I love it, and would buy again!

Andis Professional Outliner I I5
this is the best out liner outhere, i didn't buy from amazon, i got for 70 dollars, but amazon has it for 50 wow. i big save. i bought it like two years ago and still works like new, and to tell the true i cut my own hair every weekend and never gave me problems. i love it

Great So Far5
I've only had this trimmer for a month but it has been great to use so far. I'm an amateur barber who hasn't been cutting hair for a long time but this trimmer does everything that I expected it to. Using it is a lot better than using my clippers to do linings, which is what I had been doing before I made this purchase. It is a great tool for making lines and curves when cutting hair.

38C is a great shaver4
I purchased the Merkur 38C (chrome barberpole) as my first double edge (DE) razor in over 35 or so years. I had gotten tired of crappy shaves from multi-blade cartridge razors, with each cartridge costing so much. The last straw was a brand new Quattro cartridge that was so rough it felt like someone was dragging the jagged edge of a tin can across my face ... backwards.

After doing some research on DE razors and blades, I settled on and ordered the Merkur 38C, along with a sampler pack of blades and some high quality shave cream.

The good:

* The 38C is a heavy razor. This is an advantage because in DE shaving you want the razor and blade to do the work, not the pressure of pushing the blade against your face, as you must do with cartridge razors.

* The finish on my razor was pretty near perfect, so don't let the previous review put you off. If there is a problem, any reputable retailer should honour an exchange.

* The 38C is a somewhat "mild" razor. That is, the blade gap and angle afforded by the head design is such that even with the sharpest of blades you can shave comfortably ... given proper technique, of course. I wouldn't advise using a Feather blade as your first experience with this razor; use a somewhat milder blade. Being milder rather than very aggressive, this gives the user a lot of latitude with blade selection.

The less good:

* The barberpole pattern on the handle could be a little deeper. Some people have reported problems with the razor being a bit too slippery, but I have never had a problem.

* The razor is heavy. This is actually an advantage as noted above, but some people may not like the feel. So for me (and I suspect most people who try this razor), this is not a problem at all.

All-in-all, this is a great product. I won't downrate it for not be adjustable, because (duh), there are adjustable models from Merkur and other manufacturers. If that's what you need or want, then don't buy the 38C.

I have other DE razors which also can give really good shaves ... a Schick Stainless (aka Krona), a Feather Portable, a 1940s Gillette SuperSpeed. If I were forced to live with only one, I could easily live with the 38C as my only razor. Not that that will happen, mind you!

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!4
I recently decided to use a safety razor and did my due diligence to find out "WHAT'S THE BEST"!!! Knowing that the finest cutlery and machined products are made in Germany, I went with Merkur. In reviewing what this brand had to offer, I was attracted to the "Razor Dial" and "Butterfly Style" of the Merkur Vision #2000. Since I believe you get what you pay for, due to it's cost and features, this appeared to be the best for me. After purchasing the razor and putting it into action, I was glad my wife bought me the "Art of Shaving" starter kit, which contains the pre-shaving Aloe oil, cream, after-shave balm, fine Badger brush and CD. I say this because the CD was so informative regarding proper shaving techniques that I approached safety razor shaving and this Vision razor as if I never shaved with a safety razor before. Upon setting up my face for the first stroke I picked up the Vision #2000 and thought I had a 1lb piece of lead in my hand. This razor is heavy! In allowing the weight to be the only pressure I put to my face, the stroke was effortless and left a 75% clean face ( I have a heavy beard.) I found that the blade adjustment needed to be fairly closed, maybe a 3 out of 10 adjustments, otherwise I would need to call 911 or deal with the worst "razor burn" ever. That said, I re-lathered my face and started to shave against the grain, only allowing the weight of the razor to dictate the pressure. My face was like baby skin! This razor means business... To pull it around your face can only mean disaster! Enjoy that time when you shave, after all, you're not shaving your legs.

Bloodbanks rejoice3
Imagine a hatchet fight between you and the knife juggling Benihana Ninja guy who beheads shrimp and effortlessly flicks them on your plate even if he's blindfolded. Imagine Freddy Kruger and Edward Scissor-hands giving you an enthusiastic facial massage. Visualize falling head first into your kitchen sink garbage disposal. That's a pretty good approximation of what remains of your face after shaving with the Vision 2000 razor. I'm convinced that the doubling of life expectancy in our time can be traced not to cleaner hygiene and better medical care; but to the switch from these "safety" razors to Gillette Techmatics. I want to love this thing for it's sheer manliness and heft, and the fact that the blades are one tenth the price of Gillette cartridges. And I believe with the right technique and extreme care it can be tamed. Some tips: 1.DO NOT EXERT ANY PRESSURE WHILE SHAVING WITH THIS. 2.DIAL IT SO THE BLADE IS BARELY EXPOSED 3.USE AN ESSENTIAL OIL UNDER THE SHAVE LOTION. 4. DO NOT USE REPEATED OR RAPID STROKES. 5.DO NOT SHAVE WITH THIS LESS THAN 2 HOURS BEFORE YOU PLAN TO LEAVE THE HOUSE OR PUT ON ANY CLOTHING. 6. BUY THE BRICK SIZED STYPTIC BLOCK, OWN ONLY DARK COLORED FACE TOWELS, HAVE ALOE JELL CLOSE AT HAND, BE CERTAIN YOUR WILL IS PREPARED BY A COMPETENT LAWYER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS AND YOUR BATHROOM AND FACE WILL LOOK LIKE A CRIME SCENE. These may be the real WMD's that Saddam was producing.

(July 26, 2009) Like learning a martial art, practice and technique are what change you from a guy wearing white pajamas to a confident black belt. Fortunately and without needing corrective plastic surgery I finally mastered this razor and now I actually look forward to shaving. The secret, at least for me, was using the right blade....Feather...using a preshave oil to lubricate and protect the skin applied before and under the lather, (Strangely enough, olive oil works amazingly.) and the right shave cream...Proraso. With that approach, there hasn't been any profuse bleeding, or a single nick or cut for that matter and the shave is incredibly smooth. I can now give an enthusiastic 5 stars.

My first DE razor and I love it.5
I just love the form factor of this razor. It is simply a beautifully engineered device whose form compliments its unparalleled function. This razor is perfect for my style of shaving. It is VERY forgiving allowing a neophyte such as myself to obtain a near perfect BBS shave out of the gates.

I realize there are those who prefer a more aggressive razor. Me, I want one which will provide a close shave and at the same time be forgiving of any lapse of concentration. This is such a razor. I had serious reservations about DE shaving until I put this razor though its paces and it delivered an incredibly close shave with nary a nick and I managed this in the shower without a mirror.

My 1949 and 1951 Super Speeds are nice, but nearly as nice as the 38C. First of all, for me they simply do not provide as good a shave. They require considerably more attention and care while shaving than does the 38C and do not provide any better shave. In fact, for me, not as good a shave. Forget the ebay auctions! Forget the classic old razors! The 38C is more attractive and a better shaver. When you pick up the Super Speed or even the Fat Boy they will seem puny by comparison, their huge disproportionate heads (with their TTO mechanisms) notwithstanding.

The other razor I have to compare the 38C to is the Weishi and it BLOWS the Weishi away in every category except possibly blade replacement. The weight, balance, form factor and shave of the Merkur simply far surpass the rather hapless Weishi, which suffers in comparison to the incomparable 38C.

The 38C is the perfect marriage of form and function. It is esthetically a winner and functionally it is everything I had hoped for and more. Though it cost over twice what I paid for the Weishi it was worth every single penny and then some. It is so far the best value in a razor that I have.

Ease of blade replacement can arguably be nicked (pun intended) a point because it is not a TTO, but I decided not to do so because Merkur obviously adopted this approach to achieve their excellent shave characteristics as well as their outstanding form factor. The heft may take some time getting used to - it has for me, but I love the way it feels in my hand, looks on the sink and shaves my face. You cannot go wrong with this razor.

If you do not own this razor, do yourself a favor and go out and buy one pronto.

Addendum: I've since purchased the Futur and the Vision. Both capable razors but the 38C remains my favorite. Balance of the razor, closeness of the shave, comfort and ease of use are all in favor of the 38C.

Very close shave5
This razor works better than any disposable type and is 10 times sharper. Be very Careful when using. This is a must buy if you are seeking alternatives to the throw away razors.

Great Quality4
This was intended to replace my open-comb merkur. It lived up to the quality standards that I was accustomed to- it's extremely heavy, it feels great in your hand, and the adjustable head is extremely smooth.... like a high-end automobile. However, it's a sandwich design, so the top of the head just pops off like a pen cap, and the spring mechanism that holds it in place seems like it could wear out in due time, so no passing it down to the next generation I don't think. Also, it has a big head, and it's extremely difficult to get under your nose; I read this before ordering the product thinking that perhaps the other reviewers were incompetent, however I misjudged, because it simply misses a good 1/4" under your nose due to the size (though this gets smaller the more aggressive the setting). As a side note, this thing is brass, and if you drop it you'll see exactly how soft brass is.

All in all, I went back to my old Merkur- it was much easier to handle and gets every place you need it to, but I can't say anything else bad about the futur.

top notch, blows away any other razor you have tried5
This is the best razor that has ever touched my face. Like every other american, I was sucked in to the more blades is better bs that schick and gillete sell. But, my face still got chopped and burned. Do you know how many blades you need for the best shave? Its definitely not 3 or 4. This double edge razor is very sharp, and when used correctly, will deliver the best shave you ever had. It has a nice weight to it; its not made of plastic. You have to control the shave, and angle it properly. You can change the angle of the blade too with the adjuster on the handle. It will take a week or two to get used to, and you will get some nicks when starting, but its worth it. You will end up having the best shaves ever. If you plan to get this, toss out the edge gel too, and buy some serious shave cream or shave soap. I personally suggest using this with shave soap and a badger brush for the ultimate shave, and some brave soldier code blue for after shave. Make sure to toss the blade that comes in the box, and buy a few extra packs of blades. If you are not sure if this is for you, dont second guess. Theres alot of info on the net about this razor; its very well reviewed. After using it, you will convince your friends to buy one.

nice item, very heavy, but don't expect Gillette fusion performance3
I wanted to find a razor that would enable me to give the middle finger to Gilette, save some money and not have to buy their latest overpriced razor everytime they release a new one. I tried and tried, but there's no way my skin can take this type of single blade razor. My only criticism of this razor is that it is very smooth and if you need to adjust the blade height with wet hands....be very careful. I suggest you get a Merkur with a knurled handle.

Fantastic5
The other guy who reviewed this probably just doesn't know how to shave. This razor will give you a much less "rough cut" than any razor you'll find on wal-mart's shelves. If you got a rough cut from it, you're pressing too hard. So learn how to shave properly, THEN blame the instrument if it isn't to your liking. Also, you'll spend less on replacement razors. No more paying 20-25 dollars for FOUR cartridges.

Best razor ever5
This is my second Merkur safety razor, the first one I liked and felt i got a pretty good shave. now this one, I don't know what or why the little teeth on it work so well but it does seem to help. I find my shaving has gotten to be so much smoother and easier.
I've tried a variety of blades and find so far my favorite are the Wilkerson sword and the Derby extra.

old not always better3
Love the look but already went back to new razor
just too rough of a cut

Great Razor!5
I'm African American and a military officer. Clean shaves are a must daily and I've tried it all...magic shave, mach 3, Fusion (or as I call it mach 5), Norelco Nivea for men shavers and clippers. All had their positives but mixing chemicals daily became tiring and in-grown hairs were unsightly. So, after much research I decided to try wet-shaving. This has made a world of difference.

The Merkur HD is my first razor. Using Art of Shaving products and Merkur blades, I'm able to get a close shave with no razor burn/bumps. Occasionally I'll get an in-grown but I blame my technique (I still cut myself every now and then...usually when I'm in a rush). This razor definitely has some weight to it and I find the blade loading/unloading simple although not as cool as the "butterfly" razors.

I highly recommend this product for a beginner. Blades are equally as important. I have found Merkur blades to be the happy medium between quality and sharpness although Feather's clearly are samurai sword sharp. Make sure you get a good quality badger brush and shaving cream/soap. Good luck!

safety razors versus disposables4
I have this razor and like it. But since it s the first safety razor I ve used in 25 years, i can t tell you how it compares to others. Since I was hesitant about buying a safety razor after years of using modern razors with multi blade disposables, I am commenting on that aspect. I was driven by the need to spend less on blades, and contribute less into the waste stream, but I didn t know if I d find shaving with it equivalent to my Mach 3.

My attitude on shaving is that you need to shave both with and against the grain in a hot, steamy environment, because the goal is a shave so close that you have completely smooth skin. A safety razor will do that, and with much less expense in blades.

But since it is somewhat larger and clumsier than a disposable, I still keep my disposable at hand to clean up in and around my lips, nose, ears, and adam s apple. used this way, the Mach 3 s blade will last a very long time, since they are only doing final touch up.

I see it in the same way that a groundskeeper might handle a big area: you use the tractor mower to do the large acreages, the little riding mower to do the intermediate work, and the hand-held weed whip to do the detail work: no one machine is perfect for the entire job, but in combination you get the job done quickly and cheaply.

I found Wilkinson blades to be sharper than the Merkur blades offered with this razor, and I d like a way to have a friction lock on the knurled know so that I could OPEN up the blade angle slightly without the loosened knob then moving to a completely loose position. Otherwise, the razor seems to work fine.

Merkur HD - the best razor5
This is probably the best razor available, all categories. I us it with Derby Extra blades, every day. Highly recommended.

a no-nonsense safety razor5
Solingen/Merkur have no illusions when it comes to wet shaving. They produce a superior quality classic safety razor and equally superior double-edge blades. The result is a lifetime of superior shaving experiences.

Unique to the Merkur Classic safety razors is the design of the top, which screws down into the handle by means of a threaded shaft, a simple and reliable method for holding the blade in place.

The blades alone are well-worth the money, lasting two to three times longer than inexpensive brands and combined with a one of the classic safety razors, you'll never want to use any thing else.

a must for your merkur razor, sharp and to the point shaving5
not much to be said other than you need these for your merkur razor. These are very sharp, and will give you an amazing shave. If you are new to merkur double edge razors, start slow, and with short strokes; shave with the grain of your face. Switch to other side of the blade after each pass, and rinse in hot water, and then do again. You will become a shaving pro in no time, and wonder how you shaved your whole life without these. Keep your extra blades packed in their original box, and outside the bathroom, such as in a closet until you need to use them.

Best blades for a Merkur razor5
If you have ever thought about using a safety razor, you are on the right track. I have tried every type of razor out there: disposable, electric, Mach V, whatever. Every one of them has always cut my skin, left razor burn, and my skin has bumps.

This Christmas, my wife bought my Proraso, Merkur safety razor, and these blades after doing her search and I have to say I will never go back. This is the best way to shave out there. Its not as convenient as the disposable blades, but your skin will thank you. I have had zero razor burn or skin bumps since December so bye bye any cheap alternatives for me.

Great, but expensive.4
Very sharp, and lasts a long time. I recommend using it with pacific shaving oil to reduce nicks and cuts. If it did not cost so much more than others I would give it 5 stars.

Everyone loves a good Boss5
I have used almost all of the Boss fragrances for men over the years and have yet to find one I didn't like. This one is in the top two for sure. It's not flowery and not musky. It is a real man's scent.

Good Stuff5
This is one of my favorite cologne. It is woodsy and long lasting. The rumor is that Boss is dropping it from its line. That's a shame.

If you only buy ONE cologne...5
My latest obsession is with colognes and I bought all 10 of the ones mentioned in "So you want to start wearing cologne" guide on amazon.com, plus a few others. They haven't all arrived yet, but I have to say that this cologne is awesome. It's a brighter and more cheery scent (if there is such a thing) than Cool Water which is also pretty dern good, and less citrusy than Tommy. The price is pretty mid-range for the designer colognes and both my wife and I love it. It is not pretentious, more fun-loving and great for all occasion wear and lasts a long time. The high notes last maybe 2-3 hours but the lingering scent is fine all on its own. I am going through this much quicker than the others with Candies being a close second. If you're willing to spend the money get this one, if you'd like to spend ten or fifteen bucks less for another great one get CANDIES which is more spicy but still awesome as well. I liked this one so much that I have HUGO DARK BLUE on its way and look forward to reviewing it for you. Hope this helps!

Go Easy!5
Hugo Boss is definitely an interesting and yummy cologne for men. I bought Gio Armani for husband in the past. However, the price for a small bottle turned us away from it. The size of the bottle and the price makes this a great value.

One word of caution is to go easy with the amount that you spray on. It is potent. My husband normally squirts 3 sprays onto his neck. He started out with one spray and it is strong. The aroma lasts all day. It is sweet and spicey which makes it unique.

While I was nervous to buy a cologne without testing it first, it was a no-brainer after reading reviews on other websites. You will not regret purchasing this cologne!

Incredible Fragrance!5
I absolutely love this cologne! It smells fantastic, lasts a long time, and always gets great compliments!

I had used this cologne several years ago, but had moved on to trying others since then. Other colognes smelled nice, but just weren't quite of the same caliber as Hugo. So, when it was time to buy a new cologne, I had to have this fantastic fragrance again.

I'm glad I decided to buy this one again! It was like coming back to an old friend. This fragrance is the best around, in my opinion. It's also well priced for the 5oz. bottle. Do yourself a favor and buy this cologne NOW!
