Review: Soft, elegant and excellent quality shave - I was surprised by the quality of this rake from the moment I took it out of the box. The metal handle has a good weight, feels sturdy and offers excellent grip. The shave is very smooth and precise, helping to reduce irritation compared to disposable rakes. In addition, its classic design gives an elegant touch to the bathroom. Without a doubt, it is an excellent investment for those looking for a comfortable and durable shave. I totally recommend it. Review: Highly Recommended - This is by far the best shaving tool I have ever used, and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever go back to modern cartridge razors again. Growing up, I remember seeing one of these classic safety razors sitting on my grandfather’s sink, and now I finally understand why he used it. The shave is incredibly smooth, clean, and comfortable compared to the expensive multi-blade razors sold everywhere today. What shocked me the most is how much better my skin feels afterward. No redness, no razor bumps, no excessive pulling, no irritation ... just a really good damn clean shave. Most modern razors feel overly aggressive on my skin, while this feels simple, controlled, and effective. The build quality is excellent, it feels solid in the hand, and the shaving experience honestly feels more refined and intentional than the plastic β€œhigh-tech” alternatives. I genuinely wish I had switched to this years ago. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and can confidently say this has completely changed the way I shave. Highly recommended. ## Features - π‡π„π€π•π˜π–π„πˆπ†π‡π“ π‘π€π™πŽπ‘: MERKUR 34C is a 2-piece safety razor with a heavy-duty handle.

Every DE razor has an optimum angle for shaving and most are trial and error but this has the most intuitive feedback, coupled with the weight and perfect length. The only drawback is you have to center the DE blade when loading it, as it will have more exposure on one side than the other usually. It’s really not a big deal once you drop the blade in to align it anyways. The metal is pot metal so it’s not indestructible and will chip if dropped on a hard surface. Mine chipped a tiny piece on the bottom baseplate when dropped in the bathroom but was still useable but I lost it in a move. With all that said I’m here leaving this because I’m buying another one. Best starter razor (advanced also) you can buy… just throw away the junk Merkur blades and buy a sample pack or literally any other de blade than German DE blades. Personna Lab Blue, Astra Green, Voshkod, Gillette Nacet, Wizamet, Feather (Feather blades are the sharpest DE blade in the world btw) will work fine. But the razor is great and I usually don’t write these but Amazon has so many fake reviews these days I figured it might help someone. Happy shaving and take your time if you’re new to wet shaving because it can take up to a month to learn technique but it’s like riding a bike after that **Q: Does this razor come with a blade?** A: I ordered mine January 2020 and got two Merkur Super Platinum blades in the box with the razor. **Q: Is this the Merkur 34c HD model?** A: These are our merchant numbers THis image is from another sellers listing and they don't indicate if its long or short handle63-MER-931-34C Merkur Doube-Edge Razor with Heavy Duty Short Handle63-MER-931-38C Merkur Doube-Edge Razor with Heavy Duty Long Handle **Q: Where is this razor manufactured?** A: Solingen Germany . Its a nice hunk of metal I don't think I would ever have to buy another razor for the rest of my life. I wasn't crazy about the Merker blades though. The Wilkinson Sword are pretty good, and the feathers I like the best. I gave a few away as gifts and everybody loved them . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft, elegant and excellent quality shave *by L***A on August 2, 2026* I was surprised by the quality of this rake from the moment I took it out of the box.

I had decided to try a different razor after using the Mach 3 for a decade and a halfish. I tried the dollar shave club 4 bladed razor and hated it. It tore up my face and had a really weird angle on the handle. Today I received in the mail the King of shaves hyperglide razor and the MERKUR 34c. (I am still waiting on my Harrys razor to show up per a recommendation). I tried the hyperglide on one side of my face and the MERKUR on the other side. The hyperglide was excellent! It was a very smooth shave with fewer passes than the Mach 3. The blades have a patented super hydrophilic coating that create a microscopic barrier between the blade and your skin. It was very smooth. I did nic myself once though. I think due to the odd angle of the handle. It bends away from the face rather than towards the face which is different from any other razor I have ever used. Hair did get stuck between the blades but a quick rinse and the whiskers came out nice and easy. I truly enjoyed the the shave. On the other side of my face I used the MERKUR 34c with feather blades. This razor is a double edge safety razor rather than today's standard cartridge style razors. This thing was amazballs! Any double edge blade will fit this razor. I bought a blade sampler package of different manufacturers but tried feather first. This thing was crazy smooth and had no irritation. The short handle is great for how I like to shave. The handle has a nice heft. Other safety razors have various length handles but the short handle was a personal preference for me. The control of the single blade was so much better especially for edge work on the side burns and goatee over the multi blade cartridge razors. I can't say this enough.... Best shave ever! Costs Mach 3 approx $10 for handle $3 per blade Kings shave hyperglide $10 for handle and $4 per blade Dollar shave club first handle free And $1.50 per blade but you have to sign up for monthly mailings. Canceling the subscription was not as easy as it should have been and you have to sign up for the subscription just to try it out. After I canceled they did offer me my money back. The hassle of canceling + the offer for my money back are a bit of a wash in my book. The MERKUR 34c was $30 for the handle and blades are $0.10 each. I also sprung for a 100% Badger hair shaving brush $15 and chrome stand $15 and some shave soap. The old school safety razor is fantastic! It's a bit more up front cost but ongoing replacement blades are far cheaper. On quality of shave alone the old school safety razor is far superior to all the cartridge razors ( and disposables) I have ever tried. Though the Mach 3 and the kings shave hyperglide do produce nice shaves. The old school safety razor produces a smoother better shave and has lower long term costs. (break even point including shave brush and stand is somewhere around a year depending how may blades you go through) The MERKUR with the stand and brush are also classy as hell! For traveling I think I will either go with the King of shaves hyperglide or the Harrys razor (pending trial). But for home I'm going with the Merkur 34c all the way! ## Frequently Bought Together - Merkur Mk34c Double Edge Razor with Heavy Duty Short Handle - Proraso Professional Shaving Brush - Proraso Shaving Soap --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5531021-merkur-mk34c-double-edge-razor-with-heavy-duty-short-handle](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5531021-merkur-mk34c-double-edge-razor-with-heavy-duty-short-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
