Merkur 34C Double Edge (DE) Safety Razor

The Merkur 34C has a classic design, looks fantastic, but is also highly functional. If you want a safety razor that offers superb performance, but also has a timeless style, this is the perfect choice. 

This is an incredibly popular razor and benefits from a heavy-duty design. The handle is thick and chunky which gives you a firm grip for your shaving routine. This is aided by the knurled diamond pattern on the handle that gives extra grip. The handle end also has a ridged tip which helps the balance but also gives more purchase.

In total, the handle length is 75mm, and it has a thick diameter of 11mm. Despite this thickness, the razor still performs well and has brilliant balance. The head has a safety guard to protect your skin, and you can expect a mild, but comfortable shave. As a result, this could be the perfect razor for first-time close shavers who are transitioning from an electrical device. 

In terms of durability, the handle and head are made from polished chrome and stainless steel. This means the Merkur 34C will last for years, but make it look incredibly stylish too. The head and closed comb simply unscrew from the handle and it is easy to insert a fresh razor blade.
