Review: Get a styptic stick or alum bar, just in case… - At age 55 I now finally know what a close shave actually feels like. I’ve always used Gillette mach 3’s before, but with increased costs of cartridge refills and lower quality control, i felt the need for a more affordable alternative and I am far from disappointed by the change. First time using a DE safety razor and it was a doddle to use, there is no mysticism to using it, just shave, i used regular shaving foam without a brush and followed up with my regular balm and aftershave to finish. This razor feels natural in the hand, is the perfect weight and size and is very easy to control, no fuss, no cuts, just a smooth shave that actually leaves your skin feeling refreshed. The supplied blade is adequate, but I cant wait to try some more premium brands. If you’re standing on the fence about trying one, I highly recommend this Merkur, as soon as you open the box, you know you are holding a premium piece of equipment. Review: Wish I'd bought this sooner - 2 months ago, in a bid to further reduce my waste footprint, I decided to go back to wet shaving with a safety razor after a break of 30+ years. Unfortunately, I tried to save money by buying a cheap (probably chinese) safety razor with a butterfly mechanism, and for the next 2 months of shaving daily I've suffered razor burn, nicks and irritation. So when, last week, the butterfly mechanism on the cheap razor failed I decided to do what I should've done in the first place and ordered this Merkur 34c. It arrived today, and, with a Wilkinson Sword blade fitted, it has just tackled 3 days growth with no worries at all. I have achieved a BBS, 3 pass shave with absolutely no nicks, burn or irritation at all. The best shave I've had in years and I can't wait to go again tomorrow If you're looking for the push to buy this razor, let this review be it! I promise you won't regret it ## Features - Merkur 34c ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002A8JO1Q | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,374 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 101 in Men's Razors | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | MERKUR | | Brand Name | MERKUR | | Colour | Silver | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,484 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04045284011133 | | Handle Material | Brass | | Handle material | Brass | | Item Dimensions | 5.1 x 10.2 x 10.2 centimetres | | Item Weight | 59 Grams | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Merkur | | Manufacturer Part Number | 90 34 001-- | | Material Type | Chrome | | Model Number | MK34C | | Number of Blades | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of blades | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | The closest shave without multi-blade skin irritation.

But the weight is necessary to cut well without applying pressure. **Q: Where do i get spare blades from?** A: Hello,there are a large number of retailers on amazon.co.uk selling replacement safety razor blades or retailers such as Tesco and super drug do stock them. **Q: Dose this razor give a very close shave and is it heavy in weight. Is it good for sensitive skin** A: I found that the Astra blades combined with this razor gives an excellent, close shave. I have sensitive skin and use the Sandalwood shaving cream from Taylors of Bond Street and have never suffered any irritation. I've been using this combination for about five years ... it is also saving huge spending on modern blades and razors! **Q: hello how long is the lenght of the razor** A: About 4 inches long. Seems quite compact but actually very comfortable and agile to use. I think the weight is the key feature that makes it so good. I'm impressed with it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get a styptic stick or alum bar, just in case… *by H***N on 28 October 2025* At age 55 I now finally know what a close shave actually feels like.

I promise you won't regret it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You'll never go back *by G***W on 25 February 2016* So, after a couple of months of umming and ahhing, I finally made the jump to DE shaving and I'm so glad I did. If you're sick of forking out for cartridges, want to add a bit of class to your shave or just want a better shave, buy a DE razor! This is my first one so maybe I jumped in at the deep end with the Heavy Classic but I already love it. I've been using it for about two weeks and I've got my technique pretty much spot on now. At first I was alarmed at how short it is and wondered if an extension screwed into the bottom but it's so weighty and well made that it feels great in your hand in no time and I found myself wondering why I'd ever thought it was too short. You may feel a degree of trepidation over the exposed blade but it's called a Safety Razor for a reason, obviously take care but don't be scared of it. Whereas with cartridge shaves the moveable head means you don't need to alter the angle of the razor much, with DE it's all about the angle. After my first shave I wondered what all the fuss was about; one of my friends had recommended it, I'd read that they are the best shave you'll ever have and yet there I was far from clean shaven. The following morning I took my time and paid attention to the angle and came away knowing I'd made a great purchase. I'm in the Army so shaving is (excluding weekends) a daily occurrence for me. I'd recently started using Body Shop Macca root shave cream which is a superb, thick, velvety cream and it greatly improved my shaving experience, to coin a phrase, but I was still getting heat rash on my neck, something which has been completely banished with the DE. If like me, shaving is something you have to do regularly, do it well - get a DE razor; you'll enjoy shaving again. Get a good quality brush and a top notch cream, I would recommend the aforementioned Body Shop Macca root or Taylor of Old Bond Street. I bought a tub of the Lemon & Lime cream when I bought the razor and it's brilliant stuff and smells great. I also bought 100 Astra blades and so far appear to be getting 5 good shaves per blade. Also I would suggest buying some sort of pouch or case as the Heavy Classic doesn't come with one. Treat yourself. ## Frequently Bought Together - Merkur Mk34c Double Edge Razor with Heavy Duty Short Handle - Proraso Professional Shaving Brush - Proraso Shaving Soap --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/163537526-merkur-and-dovo-hd-34c-safety-razor-chrome-8cm](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/163537526-merkur-and-dovo-hd-34c-safety-razor-chrome-8cm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
