Merkur 34c Safety Razor HD "Hefty"

Razor was as described on website. A heavier razor cf the plastic ones
You feel like you're back in the days of real shaving again
Go a bit slower to avoid nicks, but the result is every bit as good as other shaving options

Like the heft. First ever proper safety razor. Works well.

Feels good, nice build and weight, and looks good too. Very prompt shipping as well.

First time back to using a safety raor in years and love this razor.

I have used it 3 times so far due to the fact that I shave at present once a week.
First time at the basin with the provided transparent shaving cream, great result only a tiny bit of a skin nick but superb overall finish .
Second time under the shower eith shaving gel , it worked o.k. but I nicked more skin on the chin due to my inexperience, good finish besides the nicking.
Third time at the basin as per first time and no problems so I will use that procedure and hone my skills further.
All in all much better than the mach 3 or Braun electric shaver before.
Will stick with it snd also take ot on my travels.
Long term quality still to be assessed at a later date but all good at present.
