One of the best new rasors I have, shaves perfectly, smooth and soft
Comfortably the best shave chanel on YT.
37C is really not an aggressive razor. I despise aggressive razors, but when I use Merkur 37C I literally can't feel the blade on my face. There are aggressive slant razors on the market, but 37C is not one of them.
But despite being a mild razor, it is still very efficient. A great combination.
Nicely said, Thanks Milan.
I got this razor today. It works. Had a few nicks that I don’t normally have with the 34C. Ordered it from Geo came with a nice note and a cool sticker. I don’t think I would have gotten it faster if Geo delivered it on his Harley. Thanks Geo!!!
The 37C is one of my favorite razors. Cheers, Geo!
Woo Hoo!
I actually find the 37c a smoother shave than the 34c. Use a different Italian soap range, Saponificio Varesino Cubebe is a lovely soap. A big fan of the videos Geo, the UK are big fans.
Thanks Geo. I'd been using an electrical shaver for the last couple of years but had an old 34C and 37C in the cupboard. I saw one of your videos again recently and realised that lockdown was a nice time to enjoy those extra few minutes shaving. I've been on the 34C so far, but I'll be progressing to the 37C soon :) Nice tip for the angle on that final pass there, I'll give it a try.
Welcome back Tony!
I have this one and I'm always surprised how smooth the shave it gives is, considering how aggressive it is. I even get a great head shave with it.
The 37C doesn't know how good it is!
Just used the synthetic Shave Nation brush and Cella that I purchased from you a few days ago. I had a great day, and a great shave too. Will be purchasing more very soon. Thanks for making this chore that I hate, more enjoyable, interesting 👍🏻
This is my daily go to razor, I don't know for how long it's going to last, as I am using this razor since last more than four years and clean the razor regularly, I purchased this razor from AMAZON and next time I am going to purchase this razor from Shavenation 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
If you take care of it, I imagine it will last virtually forever.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You're just a cool Chicago Kinda Guy who makes learning new and/or refreshing one's wet shaving knowledge a pleasure.
Thanks Wolf! What you see is what you get. I go about it as if I'm talking to a brother... Glad you approve.
That's a shame I can't buy these stuffs from your shop... Unfortunately I searched everywhere in my city and the only thing I found was cartridge razors. But I found an old shavette and I think it just work fine! Thank you geo for giving me the right instructions and courage to change my shaving style. (BTW I live in Iran!)
We ship worldwide , maybe there are some limitations imposed because of well, you know...
I love i really love that razor. I'm happy to see an italian good soap. We italians we all go crazy for red cella and green cella as well. Thanks for the review.
Good stuff-I gotta try the green/organic Cella next...
The hand held guillotine that is great in removing stubble. It is a revolutionary shave.
Nicely put! I love a picture painted aptly with words.
Nicely done Geo💈💈 Class act all the way, thanks for all the demos and reviews. Although I've been doing this wet shaving for longer than I'd like to admit, I still get a kick out of watching a guy who knows his stuff. I love my slant, it's not a Merkur but it shaves phenomenal. Cella is good stuff, have used it for years and can recommend for any shave den. Great video and explanations as always. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Hi Terry- Thank for your kind words and long time support! I'll keep putting them out there if you keep watching!
I use a 37C that I purchased from shave nation as my daily driver. It's the best razor I've used for my coarse stubble & sensitive skin. I highly recommend it, especially with a smoother blade - I use Gillette Silver Blues. It's really efficient, so no need to always use a Feather. I wouldn't be too worried about it being "aggressive" - efficient really is a better word. Thanks geo!!
GSB are great blades! That razor + blade combo is great!
Cella! One of my favorites!great video!
Yummy!
I love my 37c! I pair with a feather, persona, or Nacet to make quick work of my thick coarse facial hair.
A winning combo!
Crackin’ ❤️ 🖤 shave! Cheers 🍻!
Geo, as a fairly new DE safety razor shaver moving from cartridges, thanks for the great guidance you provide in your videos.
Great razor with superb blade and soap
Having a thick growth. The 37C is a great razor for four day growth. I use either a Nacet blade or a blade made in Israel, I don't know the name off hand.
I agree excellent on several days growth.
Wow Geo….You really swing that slant around!!!
Ha Ha! Thanks Butch!
Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! That’s definitely a nice-looking razor! I hope you have been having a great week. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!
All good Mike-Hope you are too.
@@geofatboy thank you for not responding to my emails and sending me items I can't use
Nice work again.
Geo could shave with glass and still not
get a nick. I wish i had that superpower!
Thank you for your sharing. I been using that for some time now, best razor! Have a good day. I learn to use a straight razor thanks to you!
Thank Miguel-I'm glad I could help.
Grazie Geo. You are a great the best and experienced. 37C like you... 🔝🔝
Thanks so much Danilo!
Great razor and brush combo. I use them on a regular basis
A winning combo!
Geo, loving the new close up shots and description of the razor, the Merkur made short work of your beard for sure:)
Thanks RK! Agreed, It's a much better visual of the razor. Now I get to go back and redo a few hundred other videos to bring them up to par... ummm JK.
@@geofatboy Lol, they are all perfect videos Geo:)
Merkur- Germany
Cella- Italy
Feather- Japan
Where/When did I see this blocks last time together….
Around the world shave!
I love Cella shaving soap.... great smell! Slant bars razors, they ARE aggressive but the do give a smooth shave. The green Cella after shave balm is a great balm, too! Thanks for posting this video!
Cella=Good! Thanks Bryan
Upgraded to 37C after using 34C for about 5 years. Wow, what a difference! So smooth, I thought I had forgotten to insert my Astra blade. Just as comfortable as the 34C, but a much closer shave. Wish I had switched years ago. Thanks for the video recommendation!
I'm use merkur 34c long time you recommend to upgrade to merkur 37c?
@@sukhoi3535 Absolutely. Easily a much closer shave, and since you’ve been using the 34C for a while, the move to the new razor will be easy for you.
@@jeffrubin8570 thank you Jeff 🌹🌹
Mine arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time this morning. Cracking razor.
What are your thoughts about the aggressiveness of the razor?
Waz up ma man! From Australia. Like legendary German WWII MG42, christened "buzz saw" for its devastating ability to cut Allies in droves, 37C is. German death scythe. Deadly effective in light hands and medium blade character. It is not aggressive per se if you know how to use it. Short handle allows unobstructed manipulation thru every nook n cranny of you face with easy. Heavy for its size with solid nickel plated copper handle. 10/10.
Woh! Vivid description! I think you're review was better than mine! 10/10
@@geofatboy Thank you!. Keep us informing...,
Another great video!! Please tell me your gonna be doing a black friday sale. I can't wait to start wet shaving!!
Always wanted to try that Cella shaving cream, but I apparently have an allergy to almond scented soaps...such a pity. I would buy of kilo brick of it if I could get past the red itchiness. Your shaving technique makes each shave more fun than chore. Thanks for posting.
Nice shave.
🤘😃🤘
Thanks geo great video ! After using lots of razors including the muhle r41( first gen) this slant became my favorite razor lately because I shave the once a week ,and the slant doesn’t clog at all very smooth shaving razor !
Nice video Geo 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Now I must use the 37C tomorrow.
Great video Geo
Sir, if possible make a comparison video of Parker semi-slant and this razor.
Clear the run ways!!
Hey Geo, going into the holidays, it'd be nice to have a list of your personnal picks for a complete shaving kit: best razor, soap, brush, blade and aftershave. I think a lot of people would like to try the products that have won you over!
Good one! Thanks for the recommendation.
Great video...🎄...thanks.
You have good shave ....
you have good life.
I have seen many of your videos and they are so informative. My question to you is do you ever go against the grain on your chin and mustache areas? I do and I was wondering if there is a method you would recommend to use when I shave these areas. Thanks for all your help and stay healthy in these difficult times.
Yeah he does, here’s an example. th-cam.com/video/GY1yvvs4CRk/w-d-xo.html
Here's another: th-cam.com/video/HMCyJJ7uzJU/w-d-xo.html Thanks Medmac!
Great video, I subscribed. I need an advise, for head shaving is it better the 34C or 37C? Is the 37C too much aggressive for the head in your opinion? Thanks in advance.
Firstly- Let me say I am honored to have the great Walter White chime in here. Secondly-He might prefer a longer handle for head shaving... Like the 38C or 39C-AKA Sledge Hammer.
Nice geo.. Thanks mate 💈🪒
Thanks for the useful video. I’ve been thinking of getting one of these but I am a little concerned about the protruding blade. Is it something to worry about re cuts to fingers or face?
Feather is an excellent example of a German or Italian product
Imho the Merkur slant is a mild razor but it still does a very good job.
Efficient for sure.
Maybe a bit mild for a slant, not as aggressive as sth like Muhle R41. But more than R89 and similar closed combs.
Another great shave video Geo. Still the best performer. 😁. I have the 34c. I find it mild. On a scale of 1 to 10 for aggression, where would you put both razors? Thankyou.
Thanks Andrew 34C 4-5 37C 6-7
I'm debating for travel.....CELLO witch has the bowl...or....TOBOC shaving stick. I'm old and have grey titanium barb wire for a beard. I need cushion and slick (using a Fatboy '61/G2 for travel with Feathers) and thinking Cello may be the choice. I am a TOBOC shave soap person at home. Both lather well...but...Cello is soft soap and a really fast, thick lather "WITH A LOADING BOWL." that I like.
Great video. You have an older video of the 37C as well. I'm not new to wet shaving, started with R89 and been shaving with it for a couple years. Just got a 37C Slant to have a more aggressive (efficient) razor! We'll see how it goes but I'm hopeful. Got a Proraso healing gel tube just in case I cut myself (has happened with the R89 as well but only rarely). Should help stop any bleeding. That 37C made short work of your stubble.
I resemble the Merkur 37C to a compact sports car. It is smooth, but you have to keep it steady. Otherwise, it will draw blood.
@@MeteCanKarahasan Right! I've been using the 37C and it's been good. Surprisingly I haven't really cut myself, not even once. It can still happen later, especially with problem spots (pimples, moles). That's where I've cut myself before with the R89, problem spots like pimples. And I once cut my upper lip when shaving my moustache, the top part in the middle of the upper lip. That one bled for quite a long time, was annoying.
Maybe the 37C isn't as aggressive as I thought it would be. Or I've just learned how to shave properly.
Hey Geo I have one question can a coconut oil be used as a pre shave oil
Is it lubricating and moisturizing? I'd say yes then.
I don't have lots of facial hair, but use the 34C for shaving. What do you mean by more aggressive shave by the 37C, as you still did three passes on your shave? Is the 37C only for people with thick beards? Or would the 37C allow me to shave is fewer passes?
The 41C would allow you to shave with fewer passes-it os more aggressive:shavenation.com/search?q=R41
Geofatboy Sir Is it a cardinal Sin to use canned shaving cream? It seem the shave cream that works for me Nivea Mens Sensitive shave cream followed by Thayers witch Hazel and Nivea Sensitive shave balm using a Merkur 34C and Astra SP
You can use your canned shaving cream for cleaning purposes. Personally that is what I use it for and it leaves no soap residue, or limescale on my razors. They come out glissening and all that I have is left is drying them with a paper towel.
My post on the 37C has gotten corroded. This corrosion makes the removal hard to unscrew. How can this be cleansed or fixed. I clean weekly.
Try a good lubricant. Also white vinegar and water equal parts will help remove it.
Would like to see a Merkur 37c and the Fine Marvel razor comparison? Take care.
Cheers🥃😷
Greeting. Can you tell me how many days you shaving? Is it every day or every second or third day?
Geo,
I have the merkur future and get a lot of cuts. Would the 37C be a better way to get a close shave but not as harsh? Love you and your work. God Bless Jerry
Yes! I started with a futur clone and got lots of cuts due to how aggressive it is when dialed up, I switched to a 37C as my daily driver and now get a smooth, efficient shave. Usually no cuts, maybe a weeper if I'm not paying attention.
Great summary. It doesn't scrape, but a close shave will require some care not to cause irritation.
Great shave ! Can someone compare this razor with Yaqi slant . Thank you
I’ve been using a 96r Parker and a few disposable razors. My issue is (with pretty much any razor) is I have two moles, one on my neck the other on my cheek. I most always knick one or both those moles. Is there a razor that may be better? I thought about a Rockwell 6S but I’m not sure that’s the answer or maybe a better shave cream. I’ve been using Jack Black and it doesn’t seem very lubricating but I paid for it so I’m slowly working my way through it. Any products you would recommend? Thanks Geo!
Lighten up when you get to the mole and glide gently over the top of it. Get rid of Jack Black and implement a pre-shave and good shaving cream like Castle Forbes or TOBS.

Thanks Geo. I’m going to try the Taylor of Old Bond Street Cedarwood. I’ll search for a matching pre-shave too. I appreciate the advice. Think I lose a pint🩸 annually from shaving. 😝
@@geofatboy I just placed my order and I’m looking forward to giving the new products a try! I see your shop is close to my old neck of the woods but I fled to Wi 😂. Maybe next time I place an refill order I’ll do a curbside pickup if your still offering it. Thanks again. I’m excited to shave later this week! 😀
Cheers Geo, love the vids. Have you reviewed the Timor by any chance? Can’t find it in your videos. Ta.
Hmmm-I can't recall if Ive ever done a Timor video. Let me check.
@@geofatboy lovely, many thanks.
9:12 You accidentally said Merkur 34C. A good shaving video, well done!
Can I go back and change that? Nope.
Because of you I’ve been shaving with a safety razor for about 4 months now takes me about 20 minutes to shave and I shave with a 34c maybe in a about a year or two I will upgrade to the 37c
4yrs I’ve been using a 34c it’s just so good.
Can u recommend a top 15 of soaps? Please? Top. 10.or top. 15.of soaps
My favorite soap is Abschaum and I can really recommend it.
I recommend Michel’s wools fat and anything from A&E
Speick from germany🌼🌼👍
Top 15? How about a Top 5?
@@geofatboy Speick, Truefitt&hill, saponificio Varesino, and your top favorite is....
Is this Cella product cream or soap?
It's a shaving cream.
Greetings from Greece. Geo i have one question. my facial hair are not so thick ( here in Greece we say, from one hair to an other hair, you need a 20 euro cab to get there!!) Are Slants for me?
Ha Ha-Good one Traianos! A 37C or Parker Semi-Slant will be fine. They are actually very smooth shaving, even with milder beards. You can also tone it down with a milder blade. bit.ly/Merkur37CSlantBarSN bit.ly/ParkerSemiSlantSN
@@geofatboy thanks for your time. i am a big fun of you.
Hi Geo! I've been wet shaving with safety razors for a few years now, and I've been tossing around the idea of looking for a more aggressive razor. The slanted Merkur 37c interests me a lot though I'm curious if you would recommend it for daily use? I'm in the Navy and do have to shave every day, and I'm usually a three pass shaver because my hair grows in a bunch of directions. I just wasn't sure if an aggressive razor such as this would be ideal for daily use? Thanks in advance for getting back to me, assuming you read this.
It should also be noted that my facial hair isn't particularly coarse either, if that matters
Hi Tyler-Check your email. Question answered there....
I've only tried one slant, the Razorock german slant 37. The first WG pass is exquisite, but across it destroys my face with any blade I put... I don't know if it's a manufacturing defect... Does anyone have this kind of problem with slants...???
Did you make sure the blade is aligned with the plate? The blade reveal has to be even all across the plate.
@@starlodear2987 Thank you, I do make sure of that as Geo also says to do. And it always happens to me, with any well placed blade... I am thinking that it should not be a problem of manufacture or bad blade placement. If it were so I would happen from the first pass, not only with the across one (against nor I think)
I am very interested in the concept of slant because of my hard beard. I will look for information if there are different types of slant for another opportunity.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Hi Geo, happy new year! I have a gillete tech ball end, and one Wilkinson tto. Planning to upgrade right now, cause I go to army. So everyday shave. Should I buy this safety razor? Thanks.
Are you in the army now? If not, just get a cheap van der Hagen because it will be a bitch to break or lose a 50 dollar razor
I've got this one. Can be a bit unforgiving until you get used to it but it certainly gives a close shave. I think this is a "don't try this at home" scenario, if I did this with a Feather blade I'd end up in the hospital! 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Is the 37c more aggressive than the R41?
Get some.
HI Geo - How does it compare to the open tooth 15C? The 15C is my daily, and have been using it for several years.
Probably much more aggressive as the 15c is very mild
Slant with a Feather blade...braver than me by a mile...
Nice and easy!
@@geofatboy ill take your word for it...i like my nostril flaps just the way they are.
👍👍👍
👍
Whatever the razor model is, blade is same. I do the same thing everytime :)
Blade exposure and razor angle also come into play
@@geofatboy but blade choice is same ;)
You didn't go against the grain on the goatee area
Not this time, but check out my previous vids. Gotta switch it up!
How do you know when 30 seconds have passed after using the alum block ?
You check your watch or phone... or take a guess. It's not that critical.
If you go over 30 seconds you will begin to go blind. :-)
@@nietztsuki Hahahaha….Good one!
You never know what kind of questions you see here by our shave nation brethren.
FEATHER blade is very expensive for me.
Mmmmmm......Cella.....mmmmm...
You like or you don't like?
