Merkur Safety Razor 38C Bicolor Alu — Black The Merkur Safety Razor 38C Bicolor Alu in Black combines the legendary balance of the 38C head with a lightweight aluminum body finished in matte black and chrome accents. This Merkur safety razor delivers a barbershop-close double-edge shave while feeling noticeably lighter in the hand than its solid-brass counterpart. The long, knurled handle gives confident grip on every pass.
Made in Solingen, Germany, the 38C bicolor safety razor uses standard double-edge blades, keeping refills affordable and reducing plastic waste compared with cartridge systems. The closed-comb head delivers a forgiving cut, while the heavier head atop the lighter handle creates a head-weighted feel that many wet-shavers prefer.
