I enjoy using this razor and it's been quite good, but today (nine months after purchase) the threads gave way and the razor is now no longer functional
I'll be contacting support for a replacement and I hope this is just a fluke
Edit:
I was in contact with customer service and they explained how because I wasn't taking it apart to clean it shaving cream got onto the threads weakening and eventually destroying them!
As it was within warranty a new top plate was sent out free of charge and proper care instructions were provided to me. The customer service agent agreed it may be worth updating the product description to mention the need for understanding proper care for the product!
shaver is really easy to use and very durable
Should have bought this decades ago. Really gentle and a joy to shave with
I treated myself to Merkur 34c to replace my old cartridge razor.
Took a couple of shaves to get used to the shorter handle. But I've learned to work with the razor weight and can now get a smooth, close shave. The handle knurling means wetness doesn't effect grip and being a two piece set up is easy to clean
The 34C gives even results with both downwards and upwards passes. It's also gentle on my skin. I can see why everyone recommends it as the best safety razor to buy when you first start wet shaving.
I have used the 34C for only a couple of days and its short handle feels odd compared to what I am used to. I will look at the 23C as a more comfortable alternative. I could not recommend the 34C for this reason.
