Customer Review: Not many alternatives to this product, but fortunately, it does the trick
Summary: 5 Stars
I have worn a mustache and goatee for a while, but never bothered to clean up the area under my lip. I recently decided I wanted a cleaner look, and started searching for a "tool" to help. My existing tools consisted of a Gillette Fusion razor, a full-sized Wahl electric trimmer, and a pair of mustache scissors. The Gillette was for shaving the bulk of my face, the Wahl was for maintaining the right length on my goatee, and you can figure out what the scissors were for. Neither the razor nor the trimmer could handle the clean up under my lip, simply due to their size. Given the small size of the area I wanted hairless, they were just too big to fit.
Skipping over the details of my research, my first attempt for a solution was an electric trimmer that was sized for mustache and goatee trimming. I spent about $25, so kind of medium priced for these things. I tried it once and found it was not up to the task of creating a clean edge. Not even close. When I was done using it, things looked sloppier than when I started. I think the electrics are better suited to maintaining hair length than providing a clean shave/edge. I returned it (thank you, Target, for a generous return policy), realizing I probably needed a razor of some type, rather than a trimmer.
I didn't spend all that much time looking on-line (maybe 30 minutes??), and this Merkur razor was the only one I found that seemed like it might fit the bill. In spite of a negative review about the blades not being all that sharp, I decided to give it a try.
All-in-all, I'm very satisfied. It does seem that the blades could be sharper, but they do the job, and since I only use this for a small area (less than 2 square inches) and since I don't use it every day (I typically shave every day, but I do the under-the-lip cleanup every other shave), the lack of sharpness has not been a problem for me. The key is the width of the blade edges. I typically use the large edge, which is perfect for me. It allows me to shave just the area I want...bordered by lip on the top, mustache on the side, goatee on the bottom, and a narrow strip of hair in the middle. In addition to doing a nice job under the lip, I have also found that this razor does a nice job creating a cleaner edge around the perimeter of my goatee. My Gillette is probably sharper, but due to its size and multiple blades, it's not all that easy to get a clean edge with it. This Merkur gives you better visibility to what you're doing.
This thing is solidly made. I expect it will last a long time.
The one item final item I want to comment on is the size of this razor. It's downright miniature. The product dimensions are probably stated in the product description, but I didn't see it and/or it didn't register. It looked normal in the picture (there was nothing in the picture for size comparison), but everything about this thing is small. For someone with very large hands or fat fingers, this could be an issue...but for me, with average hands and fingers, its fine. Just looks like a toy.
