I made a couple of errors in this video, after getting myself properly mixed up; to clarify, the Merkur 39c slant bar razor is the long handled version of the Merkur 37c slant bar razor and measures between 100mm and 101mm. The Merkur 38c is the long handled version of the Merkur 34c. Sorry about that.
I found this razor gave a comfortable shave and for the first time, enjoyed the longer handle. There was a little blade feel, particularly on the first pass but it was a comfortable shave throughout three passes. I found it to be a very efficient razor and again, I've exercised the option to give it an extra mark for efficiency. I had a bbs shave with some minor post shave discomfort after Monday's shave which I improved upon after Wednesday's shave.
Monday's shave: Wednesday's shave:

Alum Block
Tarmac Cowboy pointed out that in the Marvel razor video, I mention buying my alum block from Connought Shaving for £3.90. Conny also bought one from them and confirms that it is a very clear bar.
