Merkur & Dovo HD 34C Safety Razor Chrome 8cm

Product Information

The Merkur 34C HD safety razor is an outstanding choice for beginners and experienced wet shavers alike for many reasons. The blade you use is also able to cut hair without pulling it. This prevents ingrown hair or irritation down the line. The G stands for gold. Everything about the 34C safety razor except the Merkur 34G comes plated in gold instead of chrome, making it also a pretty women's safety razor.

Style: The Merkur 34C has a classic design that will appeal to many wet shavers. It features a chrome finish, which not only looks elegant but also helps protect the razor from corrosion. This design has stood the test of time, with the Merkur 34C remaining a popular choice among wet shavers for decades. There are a lot of excellent safety razors on the market ( this article also has a ton of information about the different types and designs specifically of the double edge safety razor). But some are best wielded by experienced hands. For the “newbie” I think there should be some specific parameters: The .71mm blade gap of the Merkur 34c HD lands it squarely in the realm of mild safety razors and you can tell because you get a close shave without a lot of cuts. The gap and the scalloped safety bar, which preps facial hair to be cut, are what make this safety razor feel like it really cares about your face. Grip Before a few years ago the most popular DE razor list was pretty stable. The original list I made in 2019:As for the shave, the closed-comb head of the DE89 delivers a similar experience to the Mercur 34C. It’s comfortable and feels precise, but even with fresh blades you do need to go over an area a few times to get a really close shave.

Muhle R89: The Muhle R89 has a similar design and performance to the Merkur 34C, offering a close and comfortable shave. Users who prefer a different brand may find the Muhle R89 a suitable alternative. The 34c provided a smooth, comfortable shave with no pulling of my beard, no unpleasant burn after each stroke, and surprisingly it was even fun.”– Sam L. The handle features an attractive cross hatch knurl pattern, giving the razor a particularly pleasant aesthetic. 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. With a sharp, high-quality blade like Feather, a close shave with little effort as possible. Try experimenting with different blades like Merkur, or Derby to find the best result for your safety razors. Generally, the first pass is done with the grain, the second pass across it, and more seasoned users will often go for a third against the grain for an even closer shave. As with all wet shaving, safety razors work best when used with quality shaving soaps and balms. How should you choose your razor blade?

All safety razors operate on the same general principles, but there are several different types available. Sure, seasoned wet shavers might have to do two or even three passes to be able to get a close and perfect shave but the point we are trying to make here is that this safety razor will still get the job done. You'd almost think the good people at Merkur had lost their minds. But really, they have really good minds and know how to make a solid razor for not a lot of money. Handle length: 2.99-inches | Weight: 3.17 ounces | Head type: Screw-off blade mechanism | Closed comb 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.
