The Ultimate Guide to Merkur Safety Razors One of the world's most popular double-edged razor brands, and also very "user friendly" for beginner DE razor shavers, Merkur makes quite a few variations.... which leads to needing a proper guide for potential buyers. First patented in 1880, the modern safety razor is a shaving tool that utilizes a protective guard between the skin and the edge of the razor. Typically featuring a double head — hence the name “double-edge (DE) razor” — with two opposing sharp edges, the safety razor was the razor of choice among men until recent decades when the mass marketing of multi-bladed razor blades eclipsed DE shaving. A leading worldwide manufacturer of quality shaving equipment since 1906, the Merkur Solingen company is a subsidiary of DOVO Solingen Steelware. DOVO is an independent concern headquartered in Solingen, Germany producing a variety of men’s grooming accoutrements including scissors and manicure tools. In 2013, DOVO focused their corporate commitment to reestablish the Merkur brand as the world’s leading razor company. DOVO has greatly expanded their shave plane production, offering super premium platinum blades and 100% metal shavers (available in brass, non-corrosive steel or die-cast) with balanced ergonomic designs.
