Emil Hermes (not surprisingly) is also the name of company's founder. The first razors constructed by Merkur already presented a safety comb in which was fixed a removable wedge-shaped blade that had to be sharpened regularly. During '900 Merkur patented several blades models and all their safety razors are marked with "Made in Solingen" and "Germany". After Emil Hermes's death in 1957, his family carried forward the business. Over the years Merkur production is still very classic , and for this reason, today all Merkur products on the marketplace always keep the same flavor of the past. In 1996 Dovo, the most famous Merkur customer then, takes over the company itself. In fact Dovo and Merkur still continue today the work with two separated productions while being part of the same company.
