HD 34G Safety Razor Gold

Disappointing

The shave is not as close as my previous razors so never quite get as good clean a shave as would like. There is also a bit of a design flaw - the bottom of the head (that the blade sits on) juts out a lot in all directions and the corners are quite sharp so when shaving in front of your ears you can scratch and cut yourself with the edge or the razor itself (not the blade!). It's a lovely looking razor, but having got this as a gift for a special birthday I am disappointed that it's not as functionally good as it is aesthetically.

Amazing piece of kit.
My first DE razor and took me 2 weeks of everyday shaving to get the hang of things

Recommend this razor for everyone, looks great in the gold finish...cannot go wrong

Also shout out the The Traditional Shaving Company great service, !

Thank you

what can I say about this razor that has not already been said a great go to razor shaves well with any blade great weight and balance middle of the road on aggression suitable for novice and experienced DE shavers. I already have this razor in chrome . But when I seen the bargain price TSC were selling it at I could not resist adding the gold version to my collection .lovely gold finish very aristocratic worth having. TSC fantastic professional service as always thanks again guys.

This is the second Merkur HD that I've purchased as I just had to have one in gold - it's a stunning looker. This was the first DE razor that I bought on the recommendation of so many on the forums. Great for both new and experienced shavers alike and just so smooth and close. Great heft enables fantastic results with the lightest of touches.

Don,t leave a plain steel blade (e.g. Treet) in this - as opposed to stainless - it will corrode like crazy , both razor and blade.Wish they'd told me this.Razor shaves well.

What can I say about this razor that hasn't already been said in other reviews? A lovely little razor. It's a good weight, is well balanced and controllable - a very desirable attribute especially when you're shaving around places like the nostrils! Coupled with a decent blade it gives a first-rate shave and a pleasing shaving experience.
One of the good features about it, which is probably why it's recommended particularly for 'novices', is that you don't need to get your fingers anywhere near the blade when you're rinsing it after a shave: just hold the stem and twist the end to loosen it. Great for the experienced as well. And the gold plate? Classy! I'd recommend this razor to anyone. Oh, and the guys at The Traditional Shaving Co. will make sure it's well packed before shipping! 5***** for the razor; 5***** for the packaging & service. What more could you ask?

Great little razor

Utterly thrilled with my purchase. This is my first foray into "high-end" shaving and after a couple shaves, I have to say what a treat! First class shaving, . Precision German Engineering at its best again.

Saves alot of money to use safety razors instead of the plastic gillette stuff and it looks very classy. This razor is great! And you feel indeed like a King when shaving. The gold looks great! The only thing is perhaps that the handle is a bit short, though still it shaves with great precision and the weight feels perfect in the hand! I would get this and throw out the modern plastic razors! Shaving feels more like a nice hobby now then a chore.

Doesn t come with enclosure case, just a thrown away box. But the razor is great. Overall I like it very much.

I bought this to replace another Merkur and was very pleased with the balance, blade angle and look and feel of the razor. It does a great job and doesn t feel as aggressive as my previous model.

Top quality razor, and looks sensational in gold plated finish.

Brilliant. This is my first safety razor and I found it very easy to use.

Utterly amazing piece of kit also the gold makes you feel like a King when your shaving!

I like it better in gold than in silver. Otherwise a great razor

An excellent well balanced razor that really gives a smooth shave.

Ok just a little aggressive for me. Think I ll stick to my ikon feather and Edwin j

Classic shape & Design 5*****

Does the job perfectly. My first DE razor. I m now enjoying the closest shave I have ever had and razor burn around my neck has completely gone.

Brilliant

Just beautiful. Gold raises the class factor up by a notch for a razor that is already classy on its own. Highly recommended for beginners looking to upgrade their shaving equipment.

Excellent and swift transaction, would recommend traditional shaving. The Merkur 34G shaves extremely well.
