Here's a simple trick to achieve a light touch with the Merkur 37C: try holding the razor like a pencil, with your fingertips resting on the handle. This will help you maintain control while applying minimal pressure.

I totally get it, minimizing clutter while maintaining your daily routine can be a challenge! The Merkur 34C's compact size is definitely a great asset for travel, but I think what's even more important is its ease of use and gentle learning curve, especially when you're on the go.

I apologize for not knowing the answer earlier, but I'm glad someone could clarify that the handle is indeed chrome-plated brass.

I've had similar experiences. Using shave butter with light pressure helps reduce irritation. Give it a try on a few days' growth. Good luck!

I've been there! Transitioning to shaving powders helped reduce razor bumps for me. It's essential to patch test and follow instructions. Long-term impacts vary; personal experience counts. Good luck!
