Title: Nice size and weight - flawed finish
Product review: I have been using my Merkur 1904 razor for six months now and found it to have a flawed chrome plating where the blade meets the holder. This flaw in the plating seems to be causing rust spots on my blades. It is frustrating because the flaw is due to faulty workmanship - exterior surfaces on this razor are polished to a shine before plating, however the inside of the razor was not polished to a shine before plating. This is likely the cause of the plating flaw.This makes me hesitant to buy another Merkur because:1) I need to ship to Germany for a warranty claim - an extended period of time without my razor2) I read recently on Badger and Blade that people are having trouble with Merkur warranty claims since Merkur won't cover corrosion and plating flaws
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
