When you put them in the razor does it matter which side is up? Just learning to use the Merkur 180. Do the blades go in with a certain side facing up?

No it does not matter at all. I actually flip the blade over after a couple of shaves. Happy shaving

Nope, there is no difference. The sides are the same. Either way is fine. Enjoy!

To my knowledge, it does not matter. Many years ago when safety razors were the only type other than a few electric brands, the side did not matter

Christy, no it does not matter what side of the blade is facing up or down.

tighten the blade all the way,hold the razor at a 30 degree angle and you should get a nice shave depending on the blade you are using i hope this helps

Mine came with two razor blades that were ok, so I bought Derby professional blades and they were sharper. There is a leaning curve to getting to a proper technique to using it.

If you use the shaver to go bald, they stay in the unit.If you use to create a close cut or stubble (using the "combs/fingers") they fall all around.

I have no idea. I thought the heads to improve the shave of a razor that itself was getting old. I've had this raiser for years with the same heads, The motor seems to be giveing out. I can't tell that the new blades of helped or that they are sharper than the old ones. After all my rambling I guess I should say that the blades lasted as long as the razor.

Any standard double edge blades will work. I tend to like the sharp blades in this razor as the razor is fairly mild. I always get great shaves form Gillette Silver Blues, Voskhods, Bic Chrome Platinums and Persona Medi Preps but the Feathers are really nice in this razor!

Hi Ronnie, the picture on Amazon shows the correct side up. I have had my nippers for a few months and love them. Steve

I usually just use them once and toss them. At 5 cents a blade it's worth it in my opinion. I've used a blade for 3 shaves and it still had life though so all depends on what you want.

Just pull off old blade carefully from shaft. As far as models that they fit it seems that direction of blade rotation is most important issue in ordering. Not sure of fit for other models.

Of course the pivoting blades are very important but I don't think the pivoting head makes any difference. I guess if you were an ape and had very little dexterity in your hand then it would matter. But if you hold the razor with a light and flexible grip, then you don't need the head to pivot. It's just one more thing that might break.

Ohhhh god yes the razor Un screws into 3 piece drop the blade in an reassemble. Just make sure after every use to dry the razor well, also I buy the 200 blade at once from derby off of here

Yes. They will work with German Merkur, as well as other double edge razors, even the older Gillette razors both adjustable and non-adjustable. EXCELLENT blades, better than a lot of others from Russia, India, Pakistan, and even Germany.

The Blades SLIDE-ON. Which is the best in my opinion. The razor handles last longer than those that have the two clips -one on each side. I dislike the the blades that click on to the handle also as the blades have a tendensy to "roll" off the their razor handle, when the razo gets clogged with soap.

I was supposed to receive some as a Christmas gift along with a Merkur safety razor, and the blades just arrived today (January 29th). They were ordered some time in the beginning to middle of December. The blades are high quality, however, I don't think the lower price was worth the wait.

The leading edge of the Razor just below the actual blade is where the "comb" would be found. Some razors are smooth some have an open comb where there are gaps between the teeth to direct the beard towards the blade and some have a closed comb which are less aggressive, but in between smooth and open comb.

That's a great question! I'm sorry if there is any confusion regarding which razor(s) you purchasing. The good news is that these are the same great blades you are used to! We changed the name earlier this year from Venus Divine to Venus Divine Sensitive to better represent the blades inside. It was a packaging change only and not to the product. If you receive a package that is different in color, it may be from an outdated promotion or from the previous production packaging. I hope this helps! ~ Rose, Gillette Community Manager

I also have the Merkur 34C and use these blades, so yes, these will fit your razor.
