I don't really know if this item is quality or not. I haven't been able to get a good shave with it even after going over my whole face upwards of 10 times. I wish the product came with an instruction manual that told you how to use properly.

Like the new handle, love Feather blades, these should be the only blades you offer in my opinion. I probably should sign up for an account, you are my preferred razor store.

Great on the face, a classic for a reason

I've had many shaves with the 34c I bought from New England Shaving, and I have had excellent results with many different blades (Lord and Feather being my top 2 choices with the 34c). I have been at times disappointed with my head shaving results with the 34c; I shave my entire face and head every day, so I cover a lot of ground. I've mastered the 34c angles for my face (knowing at times it's not the most efficient razor out there), but have struggled with efficiency blindly doing the back of my head and across the non-handed side. I bought a Henson AL13 and have been delighted with that as a head solution. So my every day shave is Merkur 34c on my face and the Henson AL13 for my head, and all is well.

FAQs

What is the difference between Merkur 34C and 23C?

The main differences between the Merkur 34C and 23C lie in their handle design and weight, which significantly influence the shaving experience, especially in the context of wet shaving. 

The Merkur 34C features a shorter, extra thick handle that provides a firm grip and better control, making it ideal for those new to wet shaving or with smaller hands. 

In contrast, the Merkur 23C offers a longer, slimmer handle, suited for individuals with larger hands or those who prefer a lighter razor for a more traditional wet shaving experience. 

Both models are highly regarded in the wet shaving community, but the choice between them often comes down to personal preference in handle size and weight.

Is Merkur 34C good for sensitive skin?

Yes, the Merkur 34C is considered an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Its design facilitates a close, comfortable shave without applying excessive pressure that can lead to irritation. 

The safety razor's precise engineering minimizes the risk of nicks and cuts, common concerns for sensitive skin during wet shaving. 

When paired with a high-quality razor blade and proper shaving technique, the Merkur 34C can significantly reduce the discomfort often associated with shaving sensitive skin.

How long do Merkur blades last?

The longevity of a Merkur razor blade can vary depending on several factors, including the coarseness of the beard, the frequency of shaving, and the maintenance of the blade. 

On average, a Merkur razor blade is designed to provide optimal performance for 5 to 7 shaves. 

However, for those with sensitive skin or seeking the smoothest possible wet shaving experience, replacing the blade more frequently may be beneficial. 

Regularly changing the razor blade is key to maintaining a sharp, efficient cutting edge and ensuring a comfortable shave, particularly for users with sensitive skin.
