Merkur & Dovo HD 34C Safety Razor Chrome 8cm

Product Information

Intuitively, you will feel the best shaving angle for your safety razor and immediately achieve ideal shaving results. Not only is the design beautiful, it's also practical as the knurled finish ensures a firm grip, which is especially important when shaving with damp or soapy hands. The Merkur 34c Heavy Duty Double Edge Safety Razor is a perfect safety razor for beginners new to wet shaving. This Merkur never gave me a cut on its first use although to get a closer cut you do have to find that perfect angle.

The Merkur 34C is a great first razor because it gives you the smooth shave that attracted you to safety razors in the first place.The chrome-plated finish feels smooth on your skin, but with a robust diamond-patterned non-slip knurling, it feels sure in your hands. 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. With my VDH handles (really re-branded Weishi 9306 and 9306CL), I had to use Astra Superior Platinum blades to get that lack of irritation, but the trade-off was that my shave wasn't as close as it could have been. All DE razor blades are a standardised size and shape and therefore any DE blades you purchase will be compatible with this razor. I also appreciated the fact that it was a 2-piece, I prefer that style as changing blades is easier.

Zwischen die beiden Teile wird eine handelsübliche Rasierklinge eingelegt und der Griff wird wieder angeschraubt. A discussion I had on a different shaving subreddit caught my attention originally to this razor and I'm glad to have tried it. In straight strokes perpendicular to the blade and the razor set at about 30° to the skin, I can hear the blade cutting the hair. 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. When you purchase a Merkur razor, you acquire a piece of the highest shaving culture for a cultivated start to the day.Je le trouve très supérieur aux autres peignes fermés et au célèbre Mühle R89 que j’ai possédé avant de le céder à un membre de ma famille. The stout, brass body gives it a dense, significant feel in your hands, earning it the nickname the Merkur Heavy Duty. It is commonly referred to as the Merkur “Heavy Duty” and I’ve also seen it marketed as the “Merkur Classic 2-Piece Double Edge Safety Razor”.

It is an extremely easy to use razor for anyone for anyone new to double edge safety razors, guys with sensitive skin, and guys who have been at this for years. Er hat ein gutes Gewicht, so dass kein zusätzlicher Druck ausgeübt werden muss und liegt toll in der Hand.My first shave using the blade provided and with Taylor of Bond Street Cedarwood shaving cream was comfortable, smooth and with no nicks or cuts. This makes the 34C slightly handle heavy compared to other safety razors although perfectly weighted.
