Merkur 15C

The aesthetics were not specifically highlighted, but since Merkur razors typically have a classic and elegant design, it may be inferred to be aesthetically pleasing. - From the Wesley West video

The aesthetics weren't specifically addressed, but the razor visibly has a classic, no-frills design common to Merkur products. - From the geofatboy video

Despite being an open comb razor, which is typically associated with higher aggressiveness, the Merkur 15C surprisingly falls short in this area, being described as potentially the 'least aggressive open comb' available. - From the Wesley West video

Despite its smaller profile, the 15C's open comb design and the head's torqued-down design lead to a surprisingly aggressive shave, efficiently removing several days' worth of beard growth. - From the geofatboy video

The razor's aggressiveness is noted to be more than expected, suggesting it might be too much for beginners or those with sensitive skin. - From the Jeremy Sullivan video

As a 3 piece razor known for the Merkur quality, the construction is likely to be solid, but the blade alignment issue raises concerns about the precision in design. - From the Wesley West video

The 15C is solidly built as a three-piece razor, and the open comb design is well-executed, but the smaller, thinner handle might not convey the same sense of durability as heftier models. - From the geofatboy video

The quality of the razor's construction is implied to be solid, which is typical for Merkur razors known for their durability. - From the Jeremy Sullivan video

It has the same knurling on the handle as the 34C, providing a secure grip, though the handle's smaller size could be a concern for some users. - From the geofatboy video

The grip wasn’t specifically discussed, but Merkur handles are generally known for their good grip, so it can be assumed to perform reasonably well in this area. - From the Wesley West video

The handle is mentioned to be 'quite grippy,' which is beneficial for maintaining control while shaving, especially with wet hands. - From the Jeremy Sullivan video

With a handle length of about 3 inches, the razor might be on the shorter side, which could be a drawback for some users preferring a longer handle for better control. - From the Wesley West video

With a length of 3.25 inches or 82 millimeters, the 15C is comparable in length to the 34C but has a much thinner handle, potentially affecting its maneuverability for those with larger hands. - From the geofatboy video

At 2 ounces or 56 grams, the 15C is lighter than many razors. It may feel almost toy-like but manages to do its job well, which could be a pro or con depending on personal preference. - From the geofatboy video

At about 2.5 ounces, the razor is lightweight, which is favored for ease of handling and maneuverability during the shave. - From the Wesley West video
