Safety Razor 38B

MERKUR 38B is a long-handled, heavyweight safety razor that turns the brand’s gentle straight-bar head into a tool with noticeably greater reach and momentum. Its 101gr working weight encourages slow, deliberate strokes: once the angle is set, the razor can glide through prepared stubble with almost no added pressure. The black anodised aluminium sleeve gives the handle a modern contrast, while the underlying brass and bright chrome-plated details provide substance and durability. A spacious blade gap helps lather and cut hair rinse freely from the closed head without making the shaving character unnecessarily harsh. It is an excellent everyday choice for larger hands or anyone who prefers a substantial razor with calm, predictable behaviour.

What does it do?: The fixed straight safety bar supports controlled blade contact, while the generous gap allows effective lather flow and easy rinsing. Its weight and 100mm length add reach and help maintain steady motion across broader or harder-to-access areas.

Material and construction: Brass handle with a black anodised aluminium sleeve; die-cast zinc head with galvanised, bright chrome-plated surfaces. Two-piece, straight-bar head for standard double-edge blades. Product dimensions 100 × 41 × 25mm; weight 101gr.
