Heres a tip......he makes money selling razor stuff. Don't complain if he is charging a premium. Just shop else where. Also I think this is Downtown Vancouver Canada. Good luck getting anything cheap.
10 blades for about 8-10 bucks? r u crazy? The Merkur blades are scrap, comparing to other brands, like Astra Keramik or Feather. A puck of these Astras costs less than a dollar...
Maybe Merkur WAS good, now it's a bit of a gamble. Sloppy quality control and customer service. They where never the best. Pils and the Feather and Mühle where all better. Now it's the Mühle R89 and Edwin Jagger 89L that have the best prize/quality ratio.
These are good razors but not the best, as stated here. They aren't as solid as they look. The screw will eventually pull out of the top plate, making it useless. I've had several. The part looks like pot metal and solder to me. You should get about five years out of them.
@billdedrick im gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Merkurs are pretty good. Safety razors do last a while if you have a good one. Maybe the one you bought was not the best brand or it was a cheaper one. Plus there are plenty of people that have the gillette fatboys and superspeed's from the 50's and 60's and they work great. You cant say that they only last 5 years
@goatkiller68 Let me repeat what I wrote: I have had several MERKUR slant-bar razors and the screw pulled out of the top plate. Five years is an estimate based on MY experience. I now have a Jagger 89L; I'll see how long that lasts.
@goatkiller68 Did you see the words "I've had several" above? That means I've had several Merkurs. They are a great razor (especially the slant edge), but the screw eventually pulls out, in my experience.

Love guys with beards who hawk razors. This guy loves shaving so much he doesn't bother. :)

$8-$10 for a pack of blades? What a ripoff. The most I ever paid for a 10 pack of Merkur blades was $5. Even Feathers aren't that much.
