Merkur revised the 37C somewhere around 2015 with an alteration that took all the danger out of it and presented a perfectly engineered slant that was for everyone, not just the brave. Super-smooth and very efficient. The previous version was tinged with just that lick of danger that it might bite at any point and so it remained one for the more experienced shaver. The revised model is an everyday slant.
So, what are the differences? How can you spot which is which?
Well, current model looks like this:
... and the pre-2015 looks like this:
Notice the thinner cap and the toothier comb? That's about all for material differences.
For the sake of comparison, here's the Razorock German Slant (on the right, set against the current model Merkur 37C):
The Razorock variant achieves the feel of the pre-2015 model but I think it does so by being somewhat less than perfectly engineered.
Happy hunting, if you're after the older model which suits a more practiced shaver. The current model is certainly a perfectly engineered slant and fit for all shavers.
