I've been eyeing the Merkur 37C Heavy Duty Safety Razor, Slant Guard for a while now, and I'm really impressed with its features and user reviews. However, I was wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about the company's history. Specifically, when was the Merkur company founded? I know it's based in Solingen, Germany, which is famous for its high-quality razors, but I couldn't find any information on the company's origins. I'd love to learn more about the brand behind this excellent product, especially since it's been around for so long and has such a great reputation among wet shavers.
