The Merkur 39C is a heavyweight slant bar double edge safety razor designed for efficient shaving of dense, wiry, and difficult beard growth. Made in Solingen, Germany, the 39C combines Merkur’s powerful slant bar shaving head with a long barber pole-style handle for added grip, leverage, and control.
Wet shaving enthusiasts often refer to the Merkur 39C as “The Sledgehammer” because of its substantial weight and highly efficient shaving performance. The slant bar head twists the blade slightly to create a more rigid edge and sharper shaving angle, producing a guillotine-style cutting action that helps slice through coarse beard growth with less pulling and resistance.
Its distinctive barber pole-shaped ribbed handle provides a secure non-slip grip while the heavier long handle design allows the razor to glide naturally with minimal pressure. When used with proper technique, the 39C delivers exceptionally close and smooth shaving results.
The generous blade gap promotes strong lather flow and helps resist clogging during shaving. The two-piece construction also allows for easy blade loading and cleaning, while the bright chrome-plated finish gives the razor a timeless traditional appearance.
