Merkur Travel Razor 46C Alu — Matte The Merkur Travel Razor 46C Alu in matte finish is a precision wet-shaving tool built for life on the road. This Merkur travel razor shares the celebrated head geometry of the 33C and 34C, then adds a clever two-piece handle that unscrews to pack flat in a Dopp kit, backpack, or carry-on.
