TAURKENAM

TAURKENAM 38B safety razor black barber pole handle

SKU CH-NP1Z-4TK32

A German-made double-edge safety razor with a long barber-pole brass handle, closed comb and two-piece design for a close, irritation-free shave using standard blades

  • Secure grip with wet hands thanks to barber pole handle
  • Precise control from long heavy brass handle
  • Smooth shave without irritation via closed comb design
  • Easy cleaning with generous blade gap drainage
  • Low cost per shave using standard double-edge blades

Black Barber-Pole Handle Grip

The TAURKENAM 38B is a double-edge safety razor built around a long, heavy brass handle finished in black anodised aluminium with a barber-pole knurl. The two-piece construction separates at the head for straightforward blade changes, and the closed-comb straight bar is designed to give a smooth shave with reduced irritation. Made in Germany, it uses no plastic parts and accepts any standard double-edge blade.

Wet-Shavers Wanting Weight And Balance

This razor suits traditional wet-shavers who prefer a hefty, well-balanced tool that tracks steadily across the skin without excessive pressure. The generous blade gap helps soap and hair rinse away cleanly, aiding hygiene between passes. Buyers looking for a lightweight travel razor, an adjustable aggression setting, or a pivoting cartridge head will not find those features here.

Simple Two-Piece Assembly

Unscrew the handle from the head, place a standard double-edge blade onto the posts, and reassemble — no tools required. The knurled barber-pole texture maintains grip even with wet, soapy fingers, reducing the chance of dropping the head during changes. The most common issue is over-tightening the joint, which can make the next blade swap unnecessarily stiff.

Questions about this item

Which blades fit the Merkur 38B double-edge safety razor?

Any standard double-edge razor blade fits the Merkur 38B, so you can choose the brand you prefer.

Will my existing Merkur 38C handle accept the 38B head?

The 38B was developed from the 38C in the early 2000s, but the supplier data does not confirm whether heads are interchangeable between the two models.

How can I verify the razor is shaving correctly after the first use?

A smooth, nick-free shave with easy rinsing of soap and hair through the generous blade gap shows the closed-comb head is working as intended.
