Merkur 34c HD Classic Chrome Double Edge Safety Razor
The Merkur 34C heavy duty chrome double-edged razor is understandably one of the most praised safety razors from Merkur razors among wet shavers. A triple threat in respect to value, performance, and shaveability.
Known to fans under the abbreviation "HD," short for Heavy Duty, the 34c is praised by shaving aficionados for an efficient and close shave or as a first safety razor for newcomers to wet shaving. Paired with Merkur blades or standard double-edge blades, the 34c delivers a consistently mild, smooth bbs shave.
It is one of the best and most acclaimed instruments of wet shaving for the last 80 years for the shaving experience and quality of craftsmanship it offers, particularly compared to cartridge razors!
MATERIAL
Merkur safety razors are known as perfectly weighted and balanced. The head of the safety razor is manufactured using the zinc die-casting process for maximum precision of shave, even for complex shapes. For a comfortable weight, distribution brass is used in the body handle, finished with nonslip knurling in a diamond pattern for a flawless grip in any wet shaving condition. Few other safety razors can compete with the smooth, comfortable shave this classic delivers!
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Merkur HD safety razor with a closed comb head is the all-rounder for the best shave. Paired with quality blades intuitively, you will feel the most suitable shaving angle for your safety razor and immediately achieve ideal shaving results.

Customer Reviews
The service from Grown Man Shave is “Spot On”. You cannot go wrong with the Merkur name and the 34G is no exception.
The Merkur shaves smooth as silk. I found it comfortably mild and efficient.
Merkur must be German for moderate. No crack on quality though, this is a well made item. My beard is pretty tough. I had to find a more aggressive razor and I was hoping this would be the one. I tried adjusting the angle and different blades and I never quite achieved a close shave, on my face. I did develop a bumpy chin from so many passes. I thought I would have to relegate this well made device to an adornment. I realized I had not tried it on my head. I never use the same razor for both. I loaded it with a Bolzano blade and had a really good head shave. This is the one but not for my face. I do believe this would be an excellent razor for someone with light to moderate beard coarseness. Grown man shave had this at the best price I had seen for this razor.
I highly recommend the Merkur 37C Heavy Duty Slant Chrome Safety Razor and Grownman Shave Co. The customer service is top notch.
Excellent product. Really enjoy shaving with it; my first safety razor !
