Merkur has made the 34C in Solingen for over a century. We've sold more of them than any other razor. Putting our mark on it was the obvious next step.

Nothing about the razor has changed. The closed comb head is the same mild-medium geometry that gives the 34C its reputation for a low-irritation shave without demanding perfect technique. The 76g knurled handle still provides the weight and grip that make it easy to find the angle and hold it. Blade changes are a two-second job: loosen the knurled nut at the base and the head slides free.

What's changed is the head. The Beard & Blade HERO logo is etched directly into the chrome, produced by Merkur in Germany in collaboration with us as a single limited run. Once this batch is gone, it's gone. It marks the razor as the version you bought from the people who've been recommending it for years, and it's backed accordingly, with a 100-day money-back guarantee and a 2-year warranty that the standard 34C doesn't carry.

Pair it with our Premium Razor Stand 14.15mm, machined to fit the 34C handle exactly, and a Safety Razor Blade Sampler to find the blade that suits your skin.

How to Use: Load a double edge blade and hold the razor at roughly 30 degrees to the skin. Use short, light strokes with the grain and no pressure. Rinse the head after every few strokes.
