  • Best selling safety razor
  • German made
  • Industrial design with chrome finish

One of our most popular items, the Merkur 34 C Heavy Duty Safety Razor is a chrome finished 2-piece DE razor. The comfortable handle is approximately 3" long and is designed with a thicker grip with non-slip knurling. It's shorter than something like a Fusion, but the shorter length actually makes it more maneuverable and is typical of the old Gillettes. One of the most well known wet shaving products on the market.

Due to the popularity, this item has taken on a number of names over the years such as Merkur HD, Merkur Heavy Duty, or 34C and combinations of all of those names as well. It's all the same product and it's remained unchanged since we've carried it.

It is average on the aggressiveness scale and, therefore, a continual first choice for new wet shavers. At the same time, it's not too mild so experienced classic shaving fans love it as well. You could buy this and be set for life...and even pass it along to your grandson. Just make sure to clean it per manufacturer recommendations and it will last for decades.

This razor uses all standard double edge blades for a close and comfortable shave and features a 2-piece design. Replacement blades are available.

Weight : 78 grams

Mercury 34C

What a great razor. Easy to maneuver. Well designed and crafted so that I look forward to using it each morning. Takes Perma Sharp and Personna Lab Blue blades like they were made for each other. This is a must-have razor in anyone’s collection.

I woulda coulda shoulda

Coming back to safety razors after a few decades (okay, six decades) away from them, I wanted to find the best razor option. I have average size hands, so I shied away from the Merkur 23C because it emphasizes its "big man, big hands" suitability. Instead, I opted for the Merkur 34C. I love it... The knurling on the handle provides perfect grip and control The weight does most of the work Easy to use and maintain Looks awesome, brings back fond memories as well But ... My fingers are cramping by the end of the shave as I deal with the short handle It is a great razor for those looking for average aggressiveness. But four shaves in, I am trying to figure out how in the world I can justify the expense of another razor so I can grab the 23C. Anyone with brilliant ideas please chime in! :)

What to say? It’s all been said.

Merkur 34C. It’s a classic. Has been for decades. Requires no design upgrade. Easy to load with a blade and use. Forgiving if used with a modicum of wet shaving knowledge (angle, no pressure, etc.) . Ideal for beginners. Tames aggressive blades, e.g. Feather HD. Perfect for travel. Your heart wouldn’t sink if you left it on the hotel sink when you departed. I thought I’d graduated past it after a decade into wet shaving. Found I wanted it again. Gave away my first one to someone starting out.

Awesome

Best razor I’ve ever used. Only bag thing was that it took me so long to finally decide to get it.

The right blade makes the difference

This razor comes with one Merkur blade. After using the razor, the first few shaves with this blade, I was beginning to think that it might be too mild since it was not cutting the hair that very good. But after changing to a Gillette silver blue, it was a great shave. The blade makes the difference in this razor.
