When I received this razor I was first disappointed with the finish and had difficultly unscrewing and putting it back together. The second time trying to unscrew the razor it would not come apart. Never got to shave with this razor, returned it and purchased a more expensive razor. Very disappointing after reading such good reviews about Merkur razors.

I bought this razor about a year ago. It was my first safety razor and step into the world of wet shaving. I love the experience and feeling of having a clean and close shave without the irritation. As time progressed the razor showed signs of wear and now I am getting a replacement. While the construction is not the worst, I do agree with the other people who said a razor that unscrews (like this one) is not the best. Eventually the wear resulted in sub-standard shaves and plenty of nicks and cuts on my face. If possible, I recommend investing double the money and going with an adjustable razor.

I've been using this razor (my first DE) for five months now. I LOVE this thing - what used to be a chore in the morning is now a daily routine that I actually look forward to. The 1904 provides a great shave, and looks really cool to boot. Combined with either Astra Platinums or Feathers it is a shaving tool to be reckoned with, at an unbelievably good price.

Been using this razor for 6 months. Fantastic. Only trouble spot is getting a grip on it when it's wet to change the blade, but it's something I've long ago gotten used to. I get a super shave with this thing. Tried the Astra blades and they're a great value. My favourite blade in this are the Lord blades. Very sharp and they last a long time. I get between 4 and 8 shaves per blade.
