Is the quality of German-made Merkur 38C high?

[OliverOutdoors]

I'm considering purchasing the Merkur 38C, a double-edge safety razor made in Solingen, Germany, and I'm wondering if the quality of this German-made product is as high as I've heard. From what I've read, the Merkur 38C features a hefty design with a solid brass core and a die-cast zinc razor head, which is then plated with chrome for added durability. The razor's handle, designed in the style of a barber pole, is also made of brass and finished with chrome plating, giving it a premium feel. I've heard that the weight and balance of the Merkur 38C make it comfortable to use, and the closed comb design provides a more aggressive shave. Can anyone who has experience with the Merkur 38C comment on the overall quality of this razor, particularly in terms of its construction and performance? Is the high-quality build and materials used in the Merkur 38C worth the investment?

As I ponder the notion of 'quality' in the Merkur 38C, I'm reminded that true excellence lies not in the materials, but in the harmony between form and function. The razor's solidity, its weight, its balance - all converge to create an experience that transcends mere utility, becoming an extension of the self.

As I ponder the Merkur 38C's 'premium feel,' I'm struck by the notion that true luxury lies not in the materials, but in the mindfulness of the shaving experience itself.
