Merkur & Dovo HD 34C Safety Razor Chrome 8cm

Product Information

The Merkur 34C HD is one of our most popular safety razors and is the perfect choice if you're new to DE shaving. Made by Merkur in Solingen Germany, one of the world’s finest manufacturers of shaving equipment for over 100 years, using only the highest quality materials for production of their products. The stout, brass body gives it a dense, significant feel in your hands, earning it the nickname the Merkur Heavy Duty. There are a few complaints in razor reviews about this classic razor about the short size being one of them coming in at 3 inches total length.

A discussion I had on a different shaving subreddit caught my attention originally to this razor and I'm glad to have tried it. I have been at times disappointed with my head shaving results with the 34c; I shave my entire face and head every day, so I cover a lot of ground.The Groomed Man was established in 2011 with a view to providing everything you need for a traditional wet shave all in one place.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.After using this razor successfully since purchase in May 2019 I am dismayed to find that it has fallen apart. The head and closed comb simply unscrew from the handle and it is easy to insert a fresh razor blade.

How quick and easy blade replacement isn’t a big factor for me because pretty much all safety razors are really easy to get a new blade in. The Merkur company and brand name were taken over by Dovo in 1996, an independent German company based in Solingen founded in 1906. Saving resources: the durable razors come from regional production (Made in Germany), the interchangeable blades are cheaper than other systems. and the weight is evenly distributed along the length of the handle, achieving a well balanced easy to use razor.

The product is presented in a thick cardboard box, featuring the classic Merkur branding for authenticity. The shave is thorough, and handling of the open edge requires a bit of skill and practice, but can be acquired quickly. Replace the safety razor blade and then screw it back on—a deviation from the usual disposable razors with multiple blades. You will intuitively feel the correct setting angle of your plane and immediately admire the best shaving results. Care for the Merkur 34C safety razor like you would any other razor with a brass body and chrome lining.
