"Fantastic razor. Thank you"
"This is a great little razor. Lighter than some others. Good blade exposure and aggressiveness. Zero nicks or cuts first time using it."
"It has a great 2-piece design; razor blades are easy to change out. The knurled handle provides a good non-slip grip when wet. It is a great beginners razor, especially if you are new to safety razor shaving."
"DESIGN: it's a pretty short handle (I shave with my index and middle finger with my thumb), and sometimes I wish for a longer handle. But the build quality is fantastic, it's my first DE razor and I have no trouble adapting to it (very forgiving and gives me confidence). My only advice is try to shave with three fingers holding your current razor and see if you can get used to it. I'm impressed how quickly the item got shipped out and arrived at my place. The experience is as smooth as my skin after I used the blade - BBS *ba dum tsk (I'll show myself out...)"
"A superb purchasing experience. The razor itself is well made, my only complaint is that you can’t (or I haven’t figured it out) adjust the blade gap. Love the handle and the length."
"Switched from using electric clippers to a safety razor for shaving my head and I couldn’t be happier. Cleaner shave and no nicks. The razor is easy to handle, great grip and the gold finish is holding up exceptionally well!"
"This is my first safety razor and after extensive research and collaboration with friends it is the best starter razor for grip, weight to shave against my skin."
"Merkur 34C is an Amazing Razor. Even with a shorter handle the control is still outstanding no matter what blade you put in it. Feels great on the skin when shaving. A classic that is hard to beat!"
"Short handle makes for a close shave, versatile and good grip."
