One of the best selling safety razors on Amazon. If you ignore the Chinese products, this is probably far-and-away the biggest seller.
  • Extra thick handle
  • Reliable grip
  • The closest shave without multi-blade skin irritation.
  • Uses inexpensive double edge blades.
  • Durable and precise.
  • The Heavy Duty 34C HD is designed with a thick built-for-comfort non-slip knurled grip.The popularity of the 34C HD comes from its head which uses its weight to deliver a close and comfortable shave. Easy to use, it's considered the perfect starter razor.
  • Made in Germany by MERKUR Stahlwaren GmbH & Co., a leading worldwide manufacturer of quality classic shaving equipment since 1896.
  • MERKUR razors are produced in Solingen, Germany, following German high technological and environmental standards. Solingen is called the "City of Blades" and is renowned for the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors made by famous firms such as WKC, DOVO, WĆ¼sthof, Zwilling J. A. Henckels, Bƶker, GĆ¼de, Hubertus, Diefenthal, Puma, Clauberg, Eickhorn, Linder, Carl Schmidt Sohn, Dreiturm, Herder, Martor Safety Knives, and numerous other manufacturers.

A safety razor is much cheaper than cartridge razors, and since the blades are dirt cheap, you can always have a fresh, razor-sharp blade. There are many youtube videos and websites with info on shaving with a safety razor. It appears to be something of a hobby. This razor is frequently mentioned as a favorite and a great choice for beginners. This is a manly product, but women can use it too.

For a good selection of well-regarded blades to try out, get a sampler pack such as the following: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVPK9PM/

For best results, do not use shaving foam from a can. Use soap or cream. Afficianados apply with a brush, but you can apply cream by hand. Proraso is an affordable Italian brand with a great reputation. Here is one of their best selling creams: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00837ZOI0/

The Amazon best-seller cream is Cremo here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WQH8SA/

How is this compared to Henson razors?

Henson is an entirely new concept. They'll shave similarly but Henson has the angle built-in so the learning curve is much lesser.

There is literally no need for something this expensive, unless you want the handle for brand clout. I had learned shaving with a DE shaver and I had a plastic handle with metal holder. It was 7 O'clock brand in my country then. It lasted me good 8-10 years before I gave in to Gillette Mach series.

DE shaving costs way less, but takes more time per shave. You end up being cautious about cuts. With Gillette, I could just run around and be done in 1-2 minutes. I am back to DE simply Cuz I was used to it and I have no morning rush now or worry about taking a bloody chin to a meeting.

As for cuts, I've used an Alum block that is now probably 18 years old.

I'm done in 1-2 mins with a safety razor and haven't cut myself since the first couple years. These are cheap and save you money when you factor in blades. First blade takes all the lubrication and the next blades are cutting dry. They're for people with giant, pristine never haul anything pick up trucks.

Safety is in the name. I never cut myself. The first blade removes the lubrication and the rest of the blades have none. It's a gimmick. You'll save thousands of dollars eventually I imagine although you're on Slickdeals...

You'll likely cut yourself finding the angle. Badger and Boar dot com is great. You can practice first on your arm!
Badger and Blade is the site you are looking for. Lots of good information there though.

And I can also shave with one of these just as fast as the Mach 3 or whatever Gillette cartridge I used to use. You don't have to take 30 minutes like some of these "shaving enthusiasts" do.

Merkur has been ultra high quality. Mine has been precisely engineered and machined. Tens of droppings has done nothing to it over the years. It's as good as it was on day one, and it was fantastic then (as it is now). I find myself looking for other products with the quality of Merkur.

Super highly recommend.

I've broken one but it took a lot of drops. I wonder if they would of replaced it. I bought the travel one which breaks down micro small. I like it better for shaving and it seems like it doesn't have the same weak point. I've also dropped it a ton.
