Merkur - 34C Heavy Duty DE Safety Razor

I had been umming and ahing whether or not to move from my cartridge safety razor to a DE safety razor. The economics have always made sense but I was concerned about cutting myself.
After doing some research Merkur 34C seemed to be a good entry level razor.
I can gladly corroborate that view and I am very happy with my purchase.
Skeermes provided a most professional and speedy service with a personal touch.
I can highly recommend both the product and Sheermes if you are looking to get into the world of unhurried personal care time.

The rising cost of cartridge razors drove me to start looking for alternatives. Boy am I glad it did. The 34C with Feather blades gives the best shave I have ever had. I wish I could go back in time and convert to a "proper" razor sooner.

I picked up the Merkur 34C as my first safety razor, and honestly, I couldn’t have chosen better. The build feels solid and balanced in the hand, with just enough weight to let the razor do the work without pressing. I was nervous switching from cartridges, but the 34C gave me a smooth, irritation-free shave right from the start. The grip is excellent, even with wet hands, and the short handle actually gives me more control than I expected. It’s not overly aggressive, which I appreciate since I shave almost daily, Overall I think it’s a great razor.
