Review: Can’t go wrong with a merkur 34 - I mean it’s the merkur 34. In my experience it’s an autopilot razor. People love putting feathers in them but I prefer not too because of razor burn possibility is increased exponentially. I put like a shark super chrome, Astra green, personna cc, or Gillette 7 o’clock super stainless and I get really good shaves. It’s not the closest shaver but it shaves pretty damn close. If you shave against the grain and start having issues just stop immediately. Some people can do it and some people can’t. That’s just life. But overall you can never go wrong with either the 34C or the 34G or the 34S. Kinda perfect. The only con I would say is they can be less efficient than something more aggressive. I mean it’s a low end medium aggressive razor. Typically I use it when I get tired of messing my technique up on other razors but theoretically this is the only razor I would ever need probably. I’m always amazed at how good the shaves turn out. Everyone should atleast use one of these instead of cartridge razors. I think society would be happier overall. It’s smooth for me provided I don’t use feather blades or something too sharp for my face in particular. Probably don’t use the blade it comes with. I’m not sure how long the plating lasts on this gold version but you have to take care of it. I clean all my razors with a baby toothbrush and dish soap every once and a while and I disassemble my razor after a shave, wash it and let it dry overnight aswell as the blade. Anyways happy easy shaving
Review: Extremely Smooth Gentle Shave - I got into DE shavers with a common starter from Walmart. I appreciate double edged shavers because I have thick hair and multi blades clog very easily. With that said I liked mine and after a year or two my basic shaver was falling apart so I decided to upgrade. First using this I noted the solid and slightly heavier feel, and obvious quality but it was the shave that impressed me. At first I thought it was entirely too gentle, not realizing how rough the other brand had actually been, but then noted I could shave downwards and upwards with ease. It was when I finished and noted not a single usual few nick spots or any burn what so ever when I applied some aftershave that I realized what a quality shave it was! I felt zero burn and not a single knick or raw spot even shaving both ways. Highly recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Smooth Gentle Shave
*by A***R on January 8, 2025*

I got into DE shavers with a common starter from Walmart. I appreciate double edged shavers because I have thick hair and multi blades clog very easily. With that said I liked mine and after a year or two my basic shaver was falling apart so I decided to upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Same as Merkur 34c but with gold-plated elegance
*by J***8 on March 31, 2024*

If you can afford it buy the Merkur 34g instead of the 34c. Both work well. I own a Merkur 34c ( chrome) and this Merkur 34g(gold). Both are identical except for one physical attribute; the gold plating. The gold plating makes this one a work of art and the most eye-pleasing de razor I own. Be gentle with gold plating as it is very thin and will wear off quickly. only use micro fiber towels and dish soap to clean. No metal polish please as this would quickly wear off the plating. 10/10 rating. —————-Wet-Shave Process-. wash face with soap, dry the face, use a pre-shave oil and apply six drop of it soften beard stubble. gently masage oil onto stubble. Start making lather with a synthetic shave brush. I use Proraso Shaving Cream. Apply shave soap lather to face and work into face for 2-3 mins. put new de blade in your Merkur 34g and tighten handle to secure the blade. run razor head under hot water to warm up blade. proceed to shave with the grain and don’t shave anywhere 2 times as you shouldn't shave over bare skin of your face. This is a mild razor so wash face off after the first pass. Apply the 2nd lather of shaving lather. rinse razor head off with hot water to remove any existing shaving lather and beard hair particles . Shave a second pass gently and let the razor’s own weight glide over your face. Complete by rinsing the face off of all shave lather with cool water. dry face with towel. Apply aftershave such as nivea aftershave lotion. Done
