This Merkur Razor is specifically designed for shaving small areas, such as around the moustache, eyebrows and beard edges. The narrow head and light weight make it easy to maneuver to produce sharp, clean edges. It also works well for shaving areas in small areas such as beneath the nose. Note that this razor does not use standard double-edge blades and requires blades specifically made to fit this razor, such as the Merkur Moustache & Eyebrow blades.
