Is there a problem lining up razor.

No problem as long as you follow the instructions that come with the razor.

Lining it up with what? The whole top piece comes off and the top piece has 2 pegs that align the razor blade and the base. It's pretty straight forward and (to me) impossible to screw it up.

As long as you match the guide marks on the side up, there is no issue. In my opinion it is fantastic!

I think you may be doing it wrong. Make sure it is screwed down tight. Be very careful they can cut you easy. angle the razor about 30deg angle and use lots of soap or shave cream

Hi Nicolas,Disappointingly, no, it was not ready to shave. I purchased it as a Christmas present for my husband. He liked it, but you almost expect it to be ready to use when it came out of the box. It is kind of like getting a toy on Christmas and forgot the batteries. So, my husband did have to use the leather strap to sharpen it. He did try to use it before realizing this. You can imagine that was not too comfortable. No major damage, but, again, you just awesome when you purchase it that it is ready to use.Other than that, it is a good straight edge razor.Hope this helps!Cathy Hi Nicolas,Disappointingly, no, it was not ready to shave.

The ends of the batteries with the single metal strip show be the postive. Just make sure that end is pointed towards the head of the razor.Charge the razor and it's like new.

Not that I'm aware of. Just put the blade in, and there it is. Shaves really close, so be careful.

I have not had a problem with the finish on my razor. I have had it for some time now, and it looks great.

Great question! I turn mine upside down (the thicker plastic end) and hang it there. I suppose it would depend on what type of razor you use. I hope that helps!

Sorry, I couldn't figure it out either. I would say, call customer service and ask them, that's what I may end up doing. And how does one make such an advanced razor, and not put the lock on it, but they put the locks on the previous razors. I never understood this.

I haven't experienced a problem. As a routine with all my razors, I put mineral oil on the screw portion of the razor (or in the case of butterfly opening razors on the movable portions of the mechanism). I do this when I first receive the razor and about every month or so thereafter. This seems to help maintain the integrity of the razors' functions even of cheap razors. I seldom hear about the failure of the screw portion of a razor usually it is the threads in the razor handle. But thank God, I have not have a failure of either one.

Do you mean the razor BLADE is curved in the razor head? If so it should not be; it should lay flat. Check to make sure the blade is installed correctly.

Yes. I had a lot of issues with razor burn and bumps. I actually have two of these. A small for travel and a large for home. I won't be going back to Gillette style anytime soon.

Those are the tough areas with this shaver. I will try to use the lock for those areas and see how it does. Thx.

I have to admit that when i first starting using it, my hand would cram a little because using a safety razor you should hold it a certain way to get a good shave. After about 3 months of shaving I have no issues. I cant speak to the longer version aside from using the standard bic that most people use today. I bought it for compact. There are some good youtube videos out there that can probably give you a better answer. Good luck, its a great razor!

Good Evening, The Merkur is very reliable and one of the smoothest shaves I have had from razors. Pimples will be irritated with any razor you buy, less so with a one blade than with more blades which will likely cause the pimply razor burn mess. I hope that helps.Good Day.

No. I bought this set with intentions to eventually update some of the pieces for my husband and bought a Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor for him to switch between regular shaving and safety razor. He loves it!

I don't have the Rick Harrison razor but the safety blades are usually standard in size. One of the most important things to look for when loading the razor is to look at the edge to make sure it is even around the plate. If it is not even remove the blade and flip it over, it should be even. I found that it seems to be important to a good shave. It takes awhile to get use to the safety razor, like allowing the weight of the head do the work, having the razor hot when you shave and keeping the angle right. It is a lot more inexpensive after practice a great shave.
