Not as good as claimed
Posted by William on 18th Oct 2021
I have been using a double edged razor for the past 4 years.
The build quality of this unit is great but the handle is a little short in my opinion.
i was using a cheap generic local barbers branded razor up to this and had great success with Astra Platinum blades but cannot get anywhere as close a shave with this razor using the same blades, maybe im doing something wrong
its a good price and good build quality maybe i need to change the blades

Great little Razor
Posted by Mark on 8th Mar 2020
I've been using this Razor for just over a week now and have to say I love it, I'd heard many good reviews and it lives up to them. Some people feel the handle is too short I really like it actually but it's personal preference.I have fairly sensitive skin and this Razor is very forgiving yet still gives a really close shave, all in all a great buy.

Top quality for a great price
Posted by Conor on 25th Mar 2019
It’s my first time using a safety razor, but I know quality when I see it and this really has impressed me. I will never use disposable razors ever again after using this. For my first time even using a safety razor I was surprised at how easy I was able to utilize it!

Comfortable shave and adaptable to beard type/length
Posted by Mark on 19th Oct 2018
I have used the razor for the last month now and I am thrilled with the performance. Great for one day's growth or 5 day's growth, handling both with consummate ease. The build quality is also top drawer. I really should have bought this razor a lot sooner as an option in my den.

Lifetime Purchase

Within a week of owning this I know I'll probably die with this sitting in my bathroom. Great razor and a lovely finish.

Excellent

Well made, easy to use and not too aggressive for beginner. Was worried about the short handle before I bought it but it is fine. I hold it near the head anyway.

Best things are simple

This razor is a masterpiece. Perfectly designed and it is a pleasure to use. Just the right size and weight and it does what it promises.

Excellent quality and price
Posted by Manuel dos Reis on 24th Sep 2015
One of the best quality / price ratios. The razor has an excellent finish and the cutting head is very precise. Allows to reach difficult areas. Slightly more aggressive than the Feather AS D-2.

Nearly perfect
Posted by John on 1st Jul 2015
Fabulous shave, ideal weight and balance. One star removed because of the handle, which as one of the other reviewers has noted is slightly too short. If this could be extended while retaining the existing qualities I suspect it would be nearly impossible to better.

Great Razor
Posted by Ron on 15th Jun 2015
I have been using this for over a week now. Most impressed. I prefer this to the DE89 which i have been using for a few months. Both great razors but the 34c just has the edge for me. The smaller head makes it easier to do under the nose.

Great first razor

This razor is very good for a begginer. For me it works best with feather blades.

First Razor

Good little razor,but having used it over the last few months I find it a little bit small.My hand cramps up a little bit sometimes.Will be going for something a little longer next time

Great Shave
Posted by Zurcamny on 27th Jan 2015
As a first time user of this type of razor I came at it slightly nervously but shouldn't have worried. Great shave and very easy to use. Would recommend this as a great way to shave

Return to the DE
Posted by Jim on 17th Jan 2015
Having wandered from the DE safety razor 20 years ago for the convenience of cartridge multi bladed razors, I decided to go back to the old single blade. Having read the reviews on this site I took the plunge and purchased the 34c HD as an early Christmas present yo myself.
I was instantly impressed with the weight and the quality of the grip. I was transported back to when I first started shaving with my fathers DE safety razor which was an aggressive stainless steel weapon of a thing. This razor is not too aggressive so is good for beginners and advanced users alike. I had ordered the razor on the Saturday and had it in my hand on the Wednesday! Great service!

The perfect safety razor
Posted by Uinsin O'Riabhaigh on 18th Sep 2014
The Merkur 34c HD razor gives a perfect shave and is easy to clean. I have a Gillette Mach 3 with unused blades but being so pleased with the Merkur I will not use the Mach again.
Too me a good shave therapeutic, and I now shave more often and enjoy it.

Fantastic result
Posted by Gerry on 23rd May 2014
I too was fed up paying silly prices for replacement blades from my Gillette so I decided to give this a try. After a little bit of practice I soon got the feel for this razor. The quality of the shave is the without a doubt the best I have ever experienced. Until you have tried it you won't know what you are missing.

super razor
Posted by colm on 11th Jan 2014
I used a mach 3 for 12 years and hated shaving. I purchased this last month after reading a load of good reviews and it didn't disappoint. The razor gives a great shave. Very close with a feather blade. Shaving is no longer a chore. I love it....

Goodbye cartridge razors!!
Posted by Andrew on 21st Sep 2013
After realising that the multiblade cartridge razors, 'in my opinion' quality has slipped recently together with the ever increasing price, it was time for action. After a friend recommended trying a traditional DE razor and shave and watching numerous videos on the net it was time to act. Recommended to me by my experienced wetshaving friend was this product 'Merkur 34c'. Simply down to the fact that it is well made, competitively priced and an excellent razor to start DE shaving with i.e not too aggressive. The item came by post as stated promptly with sound packaging along with other shaving items purchased. The razor comes with one Merkur blade to get you started, so might be an option to purchase other blades for convenience. After using the razor and various different blades along with pre/post shaving cream and shaving soap with lather created with badger brush I am hooked and am loving the BBS feel. Goodbye to burns, rashes, cuts and ingrowing hairs. Can now shave every 2 days with a blade lasting 3 shaves comfortable. My skin feels as good now as ever. Don't be afraid of it, try it take your time, persevere and you wont regret it.

Have this about a year now and no regrets. Nice and weighty, rinses easily, easy to change blades. Its my first DE razor but I don't see a need to change it!

A brilliant razor
Posted by Travis on 21st Sep 2013
The Merkur 34c is a Fantastic little razor that feels weighty in the hand. I found the 34c very easy to use. I'm looking forward to trying the razor with different blades. Delivered half way around the globe in 7 days; thank you Shaving.ie
