Best praise vs top criticism for Merkur 34C

Best Praise
+38 pts
I started out with a Merkur 34C razor and a sample pack of blades. It’s a great razor and the sample pack allowed me to try different quality blades and discover what works for me.

34c shaves kind of like the Rockwell on a 2 or 3 plate. I used the 34c for a few years but it was just too mild so I got the 6s. I’d say if you have a 6s there’s nothing else really worth getting unless you’re just super into having a bunch of razors lol
