Merkur 3 Piece Travel Safety Razor With Leather Case

A great idea. I will be adding to my wash bag for my next trip.

Great stuff! Indispensable for travelers. My other razor is somewhat heavier but I really don't see much difference.

A great little razor that gives a very close shave, and is very nicely designed for travelling.

Perhaps a little light but it is a travel one.

I've taken my first dive into DE shaving and after my first shave i was a convert. Before this revelation I was totally dispirited with shaving mainly using and the cost of a conventional cartridge razor. Over the years not realising i'd condensed the hateful chore down to as short a time as possible and tried everything from the expensive 'umpteen' blade cartridges down to the lowly single blade disposable face scrapers, all with no joy or fun. To my delight i've found that by actually throwing more time, ceremony and additional age old shaving 'peripherals' [badger brush, wool fat soap & alum block] to the issue of male grooming i'm now thoroughly enjoying it. I haven't used any other DE safety razors but i'd say the Merkur Travel Razor is an ideal starter razor. It is incredibly small in its deconstructed state but when screwed together is great for my smallish sized hands and is a good weight and well balanced. Not much pressure is required when shaving and there is enough weight in the head for it to do the work for you without giving an aggressive shave. Having just started i've had a couple of nicks [probably down to my ropey technique] but i've not had any shaving rash or redness. I do travel on a regular basis but i'm using this as my main razor which it is totally suited for and doesn't feel like a compromise in any way. I store it in the leather pouch in between shaves which means it needs to be taken apart and if anything is an advantage as it's a good reason to give it a proper clean between shaves, ensuring an excellent performance every time.

To be truthfull I thought this was going to be a "gimmicky" item...how wrong could I be. A little lighter than my everyday Merkur HD, but still a weighty, well balanced head giving a perfect shave and it packs away to nothing! An excellent razor could easily be used for everyday shaving.

Smaller than your palm with its leather case. Altough its shaft is short, it still weighs enough to slide on your face. Securing the blade after dismantling the razor is a small problem for me.

Excellent Razor, compact and easy to use

Excellent little razor, not too small though, just right!

Very smart bit of kit that packs away to a very small size. Delivers a good well balanced shave.

I bought this one to replace the travel razor I gave to one of my sons. Super razor - I use no other.

very nice as a travel razor and for use at home, as long as you feel comfortable with a slightly shorter handle.

Great little razor that is ideal for travel duties.

Had mine for about seven years now and it's my regular razor, not just a traveler. Nicely made and nice to look at. A little classic.
