Nice Entry Safety Razor, Questionable Longevity
4 Stars
Nice Entry Safety Razor, Questionable Longevity
First, I'll state that this was my first safety razor. I used Gillette Sensor Excel cartridges for nearly 30 years until the plastic clips on my original handle finally gave out. Gillette doesn't really make them anymore, and I haven't found any other cartridge that does as good of a job. Having such a long history of barely thinking about what I was doing while shaving, switching to a safety razor was intimidating, but I wanted to try, for the closeness of the shave, as well as for environmental and cost reasons.Many online guides recommended the MK34c for beginners, and I would say that it's good for that. There's a learning curve, and I have managed to cut myself when rushing through a shave, but I've learned to trust the "safety" part of this razor, and it does a good job in general of protecting me from myself.The handle has a solid heft and compact construction. It's sturdily built, looks great, and the smaller size makes it easy to adjust the angle to match my face's contours. The simplicity of the design makes maintenance and use very easy and intuitive.My one gripe so far is that, while the handle itself is sturdy, the top head part that screws down onto the blade is not. It's some softer metal, plated with chrome. Even only screwing and unscrewing once every other day, the last four threads of the screw-in post on the head were stripped within nine months, rendering the entire razor non-functional.Thankfully, a replacement head only cost me $13 on merkur shave dot com (SKU 1549), including shipping, which is less than the cost of a 10 pack of my old cartridges, so I'm not too put out by the cost. I'm just a bit disappointed, since I would happily have spent an extra $20 for a brass or stainless head that doesn't wear out, but Merkur doesn't seem to make them.I'm going to be babying this replacement head. I'll report back if it lasts better with better maintenance.
