Merkur & Dovo HD 34C Safety Razor Chrome 8cm

Product Information

The blade housing is incredibly easy to open. This holds up even when you have wet hands, revealing yet another reason why this razor is so good for people who shave in the shower or with a lot of water. If you find that many razors are not up to your facial hair, this Merkur safety razor is the best option for you. You will also notice that this is one of the more affordable Merkur safety razors around. The company makes great products but many command a high price.

Something else to note is that, as with all of the other razors on this list, the Futur is perfectly balanced. In addition, this is one of the easier to use razors. Though some safety razors can be a bit complicated (especially when you get higher up in price), it is always nice when you can buy something and make use of it right away. Rounding out this list is the Futur Adjustable Gold-Plated Razor. Every Merkur safety razor is a high-class product, so why not be a little flashy?

Our Highlights

The case ensures you know how elegant and seamless the razor is right off the bat. First impressions are important, and this model nails that. The latest addition is the Cutlass which, like its Scimitar razor, is finished in dark, polished grey and has the Bluebeard’s Revenge skull-and-crossbones logo engraved smartly on the head. As with most safety razors, the Cutlass comes in three parts: the handle, base plate and top plate. Blades are replaced by unscrewing the handle and taking all of this apart, then reassembling afterwards. The next razor, the Merkur 34Ccontinues the high-quality trend of the above models in a big way. This device, which is a 2-piece double edge safety model, offers a wide range of features to create one of the sturdiest models on this list. If you want something on the cheaper side, this is a great choice. It works as a perfect intro to safety razors as well. If you like to customize your shaves (and who doesn’t?), you can also adjust the 23C to your exact specifications. This is similar to the features on the 2000 Vision, and they always give you the shave you want.

The construction is very solid, so there is no flexing, or twisting when shaving and the satin finish allows it to just glide along the skin. The razor's body is fairly heavy, almost no pressure is needed to shave. Merkur Razors are well built and will become your lifetime shaving companion. Merkur 42C DE Safety Razor is a chrome plated brass double edge safety razor based on the classic Gillette 1904 model. Its hexagonal handle is coated with engraved chrome for improved grip and a retro style. The razor head, collar, and end cap are finished with polished chrome. This is a three piece razor where the top plate and base plate can be separated for easy blade insertion and razor maintenance. A classic, stylish razor offering the famous Merkur shave. This good-looking 3-piece razor has a heavy-duty head as well as a six-sided retro-handle that gives it a classy old-school look. Of course, that does not make the entire blade what it is, but it’s a nice touch.This adjustable-gap double edge razor has a special snap-on cap design that adds to the overall aesthetics and furthers the high standard set by the color. Are you ever wonder what makes such a difference between a classic razor and a Merkur Razor? All new razors are made of plastic, have multiple blades and other vibrating functions. Do they provide a good shave? Not really! Merkur Razors are designed with stainless steel and a single razor blade for a close and comfortable shave based on the balance provided by the razor handle. Using this high quality tool, you will reduce considerably ingrown hairs, post-shave pimples, or razor bumps. Most are of the closed-comb variety with a single, straight-edged safety bar set below, and just in front of the blade. These are best for those new to safety razor shaving and offer the most comfortable, safe shave. The safety razor shave is achieved through gentle scraping movements vertically towards the cutting edge. Horizontal movements of the blade should be avoided as they can lead to injuries. The edge of the comb serves to stretch the skin tight, so all whiskers are reached. The weight of the razor facilitates the gliding motion without the need for additional pressure. As with a straight razor, it is optimal to move the blade in a 30° angle to the surface of the skin. It is generally advised to hold the razor close to the head, but different handle lengths and weights allow for experimentation. This German handcraft master piece has been selected for several years as one of the most accomplished razor, and in 2011, the Merkur 34C has won the world's best razor award from About.com Readers' Choice Award.

What makes this 3-piece model special is that it comes with an extra-long handle as well as a lightweight DE head. Both of those features elevate the razor and mark it as one of the best around. All you need to do is twist the blade house open and drop a new one inside. Two steps and you’re off and shaving. As the name suggests, this model comes with an incredible gold finish that truly shines. There is nothing wrong with Merkur’s other silver-finished items, but the gold is truly something special.Open comb – The bottom safety bar on this razor is open comb which means rather than having a straight bar it has teeth that expose the razor. The open comb makes cutting through long growth easy and helps shaving debris to not become clogged in the blade area. All safety razors operate on the same general principles, but there are several different types available.

The great weight gives it a good feel in the hand, but it also means you don’t have to work too hard while shaving. Without a blade inserted, the Merkur 42C DE Safety Razor has a total weight of 66g, and a total length of 82mm. This iconic shaving product is one of the bestselling razors in the world, which explains why it is so difficult to find some supply. The Merkur 34C has a length of 8cm for a weight of 80g (2.8oz), the handle is carved to provide a perfect hold and ensure that the razor won't slip during shaving.As you embark on your grooming journey with Merkur, you become part of a tradition that honours the art of shaving and elevates it to a luxurious experience. Embrace innovation and discover the epitome of grooming excellence with Merkur – your trusted companion for a lifetime of luxurious grooming experiences. For example, the Futur Brushed Chrome is finished in a brushed satin chrome and has a smooth matte surfaced handle. That system also gathers less debris than other models and stops old hair from going onto the skin. In that way, it can also be used to stop ingrown hairs or other similar issues. It is also worth mentioning that the engraved handle offers a non-slip grip. That makes this model perfect for people who like to shave in the shower or whose hands often get wet frequently during the shaving process.
