This razor plane owes its elegant appearance to a PVD coating. PVD stands for "physical vapor deposition", in this process metal is transferred into a gas phase, in which carbon is then deposited on the material to be coated and forms a thin coating. Depending on its thickness, the light is refracted differently - in the case of our razor, the surface appears copper-colored to the human eye.
Otherwise, like the classic models from Merkur, the razor consists of three parts: Comb, lid and handle, into which it can also be disassembled. However, the handle here is particularly long, therefore lies comfortably in the hand and ensures better accessibility of all areas to be shaved. Thanks to the characteristic cross-knurling, it is safe to hold, for example, even in the shower.

Merkur is one of those Solingen smithies specialising in one product group for almost 100 years: In Merkur’s case, this product is safety razors for double-edged razor blades. They are much easier and safer to operate than open razors but sharper and, factoring in blade costs, more economical than multi-blade razors.
