The Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor has a chrome finish. Its double edge design provides a very close shave. Its comfortable extra long handle is designed for a non-slip grip and works well with all hands especially larger hands.
 Simple, heavy duty, and highly effective, 2010-07-20
I've been using an electric Panasonic shaver for the past year and it was Gilette Mach 3, Mach 3 Turbo, etc etc before that. Just poking around on Youtube and various sites I felt that I wanted to try out an "old school" double edge razor. I'm 22 myself, so I've never known anything other than cartridge razors and Edge gel in a can. I can tell you right now that when my package arrived 45 minutes ago I ripped into it.
First impression of the razor was that it had a really nice heft to it. It's not heavy by any means, but it was nice to have something that felt substantial and that would last me years and years. It came with one Merkur brand blade in the box, but the literature is in German so I just tossed it. I also purchased Proraso Shaving Soap, Ultra Sensitive Skin 5.2 oz (147 g) and I really like it. Better than the Col. Conk soaps in my opinion.
After my first shave there was no irritation as I was accustomed to after shaving with Edge gel and Gilette Mach [insert number here]. It takes a tad more time to finish your shave but it is oh so worth it. Best shave of my life.
If you're on the fence about buying this razor, just get it. I like the length of the handle since I have relatively large hands. The angle of the blade isn't too agressive but it still shaves you nice and close. Do a little research on techniques for double edge (DE) blade shaving and get a decent quality brush and some soap and prepare to experience the best shaves of your life.

 Is Amazon (not market place sellers) selling fakes directly?? beware, 2010-07-18
Awhile back I purchased two packages of these blades directly from Amazon (not from a 3rd party Market Place seller). At the time, the price was about $18 or so and I thought that was a great deal since these razors usually retail much higher.
The razors showed up and I noticed a number of particular differences between my used old blades (bought from a supermarket). First the blade seemed a bit dull and dry when I shaved using the first blade in the package. It was so bad I had to throw it out immediately and tried the second..And then a third blade, etc..
Needless to say ALL the blades were terrible..ALL THE BLADES! I found it strange that out of 16 blades, I wasn't even able to get one good shave and had to go buy the blades at full retail cost in person at a supermarket, and use my old turbo blade in the meantime. Another thing I noticed was the blue strip seemed to be made out of plastic and was not lubricating.
Today is July 18, 2010 and I was thinking of buying some blades since I ran out and the price seems pretty reasonable...But then I noticed many reviews here with zero stars and talk of fakes.. Looks like I wasn't the only one.
I am not sure where these reviewers bought their blades from (Marketplace or directly from Amazon) but I can say this:
I bought my blades directly from Amazon, its a verified purchase and after reading the reviews here I think they sold me fakes.
Thanks Amazon..
Check your suppliers.

sharp and long lasting, 2010-04-27
Haven't tried any of the other double-edge blades. These work well are sharp and last a reasonable amount of time. And they don't tear up my face. No complaints

Pleasant Duty, 2010-07-30
After many years... perhaps too many... and often times even shaving with a straight-edge, I decided to go with modern times and try friends and relatives suggestions about Norelco products. I bought the Nivea, tried it and found it a very pleasant experience. And extremly close, as well. I bought one for my best friend and now he uses one,too. Ah, the wave of the future.

Panasonic delivers the sharpest blades for precise and accurate shaving, now with Nano Technology. While conventional shavers offer a range of 45° to 90° blades, this shaver comes with the sharpest blade angle at 30° - great for precision cutting. Nano Technology was also used to polish the industry's sharpest 30° blades to achieve even better cutting performance. Our top-of-the-line shavers feature an adjustable pivoting head for a more comfortable shave. The pivoting head rocks up and down, and back and forth, to follow the contours of your face. You can even adjust the amount of pivot based on your preference with the Pivot Action Selector. Now you can get the maxi...
Does a good job, 2010-07-25
I have used a succession of Remington electric shavers for years. The last couple however, have not wanted to hold a charge after a few months. I then went looking for different one. Consumer reports, rating sites, Amazon, etc. I finally decided on this one, partially because it was on sale. It works great, and I really like that it clearly displays the amount of charge remaining. I do think it requires a more frequent charge, as it seems to use about 10% of its power when I use it. Of course, being retired, I don't shave every day. Therefore when I do use it, it gets a real workout. My wife likes it because it is a lot less noisy that my old ones. Just a pleasant hum.

My favorite razor, 2010-07-09
This razor handles both 2 and 3 blade razor heads. It is hard to find a two head razor handle anymore (much cheaper than 3 blades and works just as good).

Includes Charging Stand Cleaning Brush
Great Shaver - Clunky Charger, 2010-07-14
The NORELCO Arcitec 1050 provides an excellent shave, cleans easily under running sink faucet. And I've always been impressed with Philips quality. However, traveling with the either of the two, provided, clunky chargers is problematic. The charger takes up a lot of room in my traveling gear. This is compared to my previous NORELCO Shaver with an internal charger. So, I travel with my old NORELCO and use the new Arcitec 1050 at home. Shaving with the Arcitec is comfortable, close and fast. Since I have Irish, red, naturally curly hair on both head and face the close AND comfortable shave is appreciated. Other shavers leave the hair too long and cause ingrown chin and neck hairs, or "Shave Bumps". I hope this will help your decision.

Best Gillette razors out there, 2010-03-25
These razors are easily the best Gillette razors on the market. They are much more precise than the 5 and six blade models and cut through thicker beards like mine much more easily than the two blade sensor excel blades. If you are only marginally happy with the other Gillette blades I highly recommend trying these out.

For best results use in conjunction with Proraso Pre and Post Shaving Cream. Suitable for most skin types.
A wonderful sensation, 2010-07-20
I finally "opened my eyes" recently and have switched from using cartridge shavers/canned shaving foams/ etc to the way shaving was meant to be done. Based upon the reviews, I purchased this product along with the Proraso shaving creme. Just two shaves in, I feel like I've emerged from the Dark Ages into the Light. This creme smells great, and feels incredibly great on my face and head (I also shave my head). I no longer feel my face burn and hours later, the scent lingers and the cooling sensation persists. I'll never go back to the overmarketed, overhyped days of "fast food" shaving.
