Klingen eines guten Markenproduktes wie die Astra kosten um die 13 Euro, ja richtig, für 100 Klingen! While the 75mm (3”) handle may not feel perfect for those with larger hands, most shavers will find that this razor is very ease to use and offers a lot of control, making it particularly well-suited for those new to wet shaving. This is a three part razor and the cap and guard/mount unscrew from the handle to allow for easy insertion of the blade and cleaning of parts. This razor is made in Solingen Germany which is renowned for is excellent quality craftsmanship and is sold in a box with one Merkur safety razor blade. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.

Was habe ich nicht alles ausprobiert, Nass, Trocken, elektrisch Nass und mein Grundproblem blieb: Das Rasierergebnis war immer eher so "mittel". It glides almost on its own and with the high dead weight a razor needs less force when cutting the hair than a plastic razor. The 34c is an absolute heavy duty single blade razor weighing in at 77 grams which is much heavier than most razors of comparable size even though it's still an average safety razor weight and excellent build quality.

If you have read any of my other reviews, you probably know that I really like heavier safety razors. But there are parts of my face that are simply more nick-prone regardless of the razors I've used, such as certain areas of my throat and the sides of my mouth, and the underside of my nose is simply such that no matter what razor I use, I have trouble getting at those hairs. A discussion I had on a different shaving subreddit caught my attention originally to this razor and I'm glad to have tried it. The Merkur Heavy Duty Double Edge Safety Razor 34C is the perfect balance of classic design and modern shaving expertise.

Razor burn, red blotches, little nicks and profusely bleeding cuts, I've had all of those down the years. After the finished shave, you can loosen the razor head a little and clean the blade and the soap gap thoroughly under water. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I use this every third to day to shave with Feather brand blades, can't believe how great the old methods are - way more comfortable and close shave that any modern equivalent. Three-piece razors such as models 33001, 23001 or 24001 are suitable for beginners and all skin areas with their universal blade gap.Experience the timeless quality and durability of Merkur, the highest grade of excellence in shaving.

Shaving twice like this adds very little time but gives a remarkably close shave - much closer than anything I achieved with a 3 bladed disposable. Made by Merkur in Solingen Germany, one of the world’s finest manufacturers of shaving equipment for over 100 years, using only the highest quality materials for production of their products.Men with an extra coarse beard or facial hair may also find they need more firepower than the Merkur 34c heavy duty safety razor is capable of, if at this is at all necessary I highly suggest using the 34c in combination with more aggressive double edge razor blades.
