Merkur 33C Classic Chrome Safety Razor
The Merkur 33C Classic Safety Double-Edge Safety Razor is a great little high-quality straight-cut razor that ticks off all the boxes for every kind of wet shaving enthusiast. The 33c classic safety razor produces a mild shave for daily shavers and a smooth shave at an affordable price. The Merkur 33c classic features an easy-to-grip, slimmed-down comfortable handle. Equivalent to his heftier brother the Merkur 33c classic is the lighter-weight version of the extremely popular Merkur 34C Heavy Duty with the same handle Length at 3" long.
Comparable in many ways the Merkur 33c has the same head, same length as the 34c HD but varies with a slightly narrower, shorter, and less weighty handle that allows enhanced precision and control for those sensitive areas. This lightweight razor gives the same fantastic shave as its heavier sibling and is a clear contender for one of the best DE razor for rookies, experienced shavers, and wet shaving enthusiasts alike!
Undoubtedly the 33c classic is a good razor for newcomers to wet shaving looking to develop confidence in DE shaving and for advancing their technique or experts who are looking for lightweight performance.

The head of the safety razor is manufactured using the zinc die-casting process for maximum precision around contours. For balance and weight, distribution brass is used for the handle body.

Customer Reviews
I highly recommend the Merkur 37C Heavy Duty Slant Chrome Safety Razor and Grownman Shave Co. The customer service is top notch.
The very fist time a saw this razor online I was very impressed with the futuristic look of it, but that was it. I heard that it was too aggressive, so my interest declined. Then, the more I learned about classic shaving, I found out that the world aggressive is pretty much misused. The better term is efficient. I thought I was going to slice my face with something like this. After reading great review about this razor, undecided to get one for myself. I was surprised how smooth this safety razor is. Yes, it is very efficient (aggressive), but that means less pases for a irritation free shave. My other concern was the handle. I thought it was going to be very slippery, bit it actually is not, even with my hands wet. The handle shape helps very much with the grip.
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.
Excellent product. Really enjoy shaving with it; my first safety razor !
Excellent razor, unique design and gives awesome shaves!
I am fond of the customer service overall.
Thanks for your kind words Samuel. I'm glad you are happy!
Great first razor for anyone! Different color to add to your den with this. I like to use feather and Gillette silver blues. Sharp blades for this mild razor work the best for me.
These are excellent quality. bought them before and will continue as long as they are this quality! Before coming to Grownman Shave, we’d purchased from another supplier. Wasn’t the same quality and it was painful. Thanks you and keep on!
