Description

The 34C is often known as the "Heavy Duty" or "Hefty" because of its large diameter handle, which gives an extra weight or heft in the hand. Spend some time on the wet shaving community forums and you will see that this is the razor most often recommended for wet shaving beginners, though it is equally suitable for the seasoned expert.

  • A 2 piece razor
  • Large diameter heavy handle.
  • Chrome plated.
  • Accepts any of the double edged blades that we sell.
  • Made in Solingen, Germany.
  • Ideal for beginner or expert.

Easy to use

Was skeptical about the size but it actually feels very comfortable in my hands.

Great way to get started with a safety razor.

A good shave

No more disposable plastic shavers for me although they have always produced a decent shave.
"Hefty" also gives a good shave, safe with no "nicks" or clogged hairs on the blade.
The handle is quite short and in some areas (around the chin) I need a few extra strokes to get that smooth feeling.
I have not tried any other similar products so cannot compare but I am quite happy using the "Hefty".

Overrated

Completely overrated, way way too mild. Very regrettable purchase. 2 stars is a bit generous.

A good start for someone looking to convert to a DE razor. I find the feather blades to be best on my sensitive skin and course hair (head+face) and the Proraso Cream is really nice, the menthol and eucalyptus definitely helps with irritation and the cream itself helps the blade glide like nobody’s business. Caution: you are likely to cut yourself as you start to find your technique and rhythm, and you’ll likely have some irritation here and there… time and experience is key, don’t rush, and you will find your rhythm.
