The 9 Best Men’s Razors Reviewed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s our list of the top razors currently available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Safety Razor: Merkur 38 (Barberpole)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the Futur may have been a stellar adjustable safety razor<\/a>, the equally impressive Merkur Barberpole is hands down the best safety razor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a swirl handle design that is reminiscent of the Barberpole that hangs outside of barbershops, the Merkur 38 sets the gold standard of which other safety razors are measured.  With an impressive heft of 3.92oz, you can let gravity take over as this double edge safety razor slices effortlessly through your whiskers with a single blade.  Without the need for any additional force by you in order to get a close shave, you won\u2019t open yourself up to surface nicks or mild irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond the weight of the razor, the narrow blade exposure will also make for a pretty comfortable shave since you can make several passes with significantly less irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to truly make the Merkur Barberpole shine to its fullest potential, you will want to make sure that you pick up a quality shave cream<\/a> to go along with it.  Personally, we loved the combination of this razor with Taylor of Old Bond Street shave cream \u2013 it provided predictably, yet stellar results when shaving.  The  Merkur Barberpole does have a universal blade setting.  While the starter blade provided by Merkur is enough to get you started, you can easily switch between other razor blades to find out which one will work best for both your facial hair and skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just note, that unlike other shave systems featured on our list, the Merkur Barberpole won\u2019t be that great when doing personal grooming elsewhere on your body.  The lack of a pivot movement will make it designed for face use only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a detailed look at a few features of the 38C that really got the attention of many:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
