The case ensures you know how elegant and seamless the razor is right off the bat. First impressions are important, and this model nails that.

Our range of razors caters to all preferences, whether you seek a classic double-edge safety razor or a modern, adjustable model. The pursuit of ultimate performance drives us to select only the finest materials, ensuring durability, precision, and a comfortable grip for an effortless shaving experience. The construction is very solid, so there is no flexing, or twisting when shaving and the satin finish allows it to just glide along the skin. The razor's body is fairly heavy, almost no pressure is needed to shave. Merkur Razors are well built and will become your lifetime shaving companion. This iconic shaving product is one of the bestselling razors in the world, which explains why it is so difficult to find some supply. The Merkur 34C has a length of 8cm for a weight of 80g (2.8oz), the handle is carved to provide a perfect hold and ensure that the razor won't slip during shaving. Bear in mind that each of these will have a slightly different sharpness and feel to it. My blade of choice is the Astra Superior Platinum because it gives a close shave, lasts a couple of weeks and isn’t too sharp, so I don’t need to worry too much about being precise with my technique. If you like to customize your shaves (and who doesn’t?), you can also adjust the 23C to your exact specifications. This is similar to the features on the 2000 Vision, and they always give you the shave you want.

As an extra bonus, the seamlessly crafted product looks incredible. It has the sleek look you’d expect from Merkur but with a few extra aspects that push it over the top. The extra-long shaft is particularly perfect for people with bigger hands or those who want more control. It complements the excellent non-slip grip so that you never have to worry about losing your way as you shave. The latest addition is the Cutlass which, like its Scimitar razor, is finished in dark, polished grey and has the Bluebeard’s Revenge skull-and-crossbones logo engraved smartly on the head. As with most safety razors, the Cutlass comes in three parts: the handle, base plate and top plate. Blades are replaced by unscrewing the handle and taking all of this apart, then reassembling afterwards.

This German handcraft master piece has been selected for several years as one of the most accomplished razor, and in 2011, the Merkur 34C has won the world's best razor award from About.com Readers' Choice Award. Add to basket Three parts – This razor is a three part unit that comes apart after unscrewing the handle which removes the head, the top cap, and the bottom comb. These types are very easy to get clean and looking new when taken apart and cleaned. Going beyond the heavy-duty use, the 34C HD acts as a solid razor. It has a classic head, a feature that uses exceptional weight to give the user a close and comfortable shave. For that reason, despite its sturdy build, the 34C HD is commonly regarded as a starter razor due to its blend of balance and size.I did find the 15c worked best, or I got the best out of the razor after 3 days of growth; otherwise, the open comb was unnecessary, and a straight safety bar would work better. Though it is easy to get caught up in the exterior of this razor, do not get fooled into thinking that’s all it can offer. The features are an exception as well. If you want something on the cheaper side, this is a great choice. It works as a perfect intro to safety razors as well. Rounding out this list is the Futur Adjustable Gold-Plated Razor. Every Merkur safety razor is a high-class product, so why not be a little flashy?
