The MERKUR 701001 is a timeless work of wet shaving art that has been manufactured in Germany since 1986. Often copied, but a MERKUR in the original. After you have clamped a razor blade in the lid with the Duo Clip, all you have to do is turn the handle to adjust the blade gap to your individual needs. That's all you need for your perfect shave - with a twist of the handle you can adjust the blade gap from coarse for long hair to gentle for your daily shave. Completely customised to your personal shaving experience. Generous foam grooves allow soap and hair to drain away for a hygienic shave.
