The MERKUR 34G razor series is also known among fans as HD, short for Heavy Duty. The razor earned this nickname in the 1980s due to its weight. The 24 carat gold-plated 34G is also sophisticated: Few other safety razors can match the smooth and gentle results offered by this classic. A safety razor with a closed comb is the all-rounder for classic wet shaving. You can intuitively feel the best angle of attack for the razor and immediately achieve ideal shaving results. The generous blade gap allows soap and hair to run off, for good cleaning and a hygienic shave.
