Merkur 25c





German precision, classic three piece design from Merkur Solingen.  I've been using one of these for awhile now, good grip when it's wet and I like the long handle opposed to the shorter stubs that most safety razors have.  

The only thing I've found is to make sure the blade runs straight parallel to the edges of the cap and plate.  It seems sometimes after putting in a new blade and screwing it together, there is a slight deviation to one side.  As long as the blade is placed straight though, it locks in good when you put the razor back together.  Overall I like it, reasonably priced around 30$ give or take which is good compared to a lot of razors.. and just cause it's cheap it's no piece of junk, Merkur has been at it for almost 100 years
