Stone throw away eh?Welcome from Glasgow. I
Been looking at it a while and seen it gets pretty solid reviews everywhere it has ever been discussed. That being said, 99% of people using de razors are shaving faces. Just curious to see how it handles on the old napper before I buy one. Can't be any worse than the garbage I have which to be honest is doing a decent job anyway.Hi, welcome and enjoy Gary!
I am sure some head shaving experts will be along shortly to give you some advice but I have the Merkur 34c and it is a superb razor and highly recommended on here.

Yea the blades rhat came with my amazon safety razor were a bit pish but then again I had never used a de before either so my skills were seriously lacking. After about 10 shaves or so I moved onto the astra sp blades and also got the red prorasso pot. Been having decent enough shaves for the past 6 months now and just fancy a better tool for the job. The one i have feels cheap and rattles a bit.Well judging by your avatar, I can't see much hair on that napper mate
I have not been DE shaving for that long and the 34c was my first razor I bought. The Muhle R89 may also be one for your consideration although in my opinion they are a very close match YMMV.
I would also suggest you get yourself some sample packs of blades and try them out.
The Astra SP is my go to blade.
Whatever you decide upon, Enjoy!
Yea the short handle and weight are the two main reasons I was looking at it. Just curious as to what else is about. Looking for a solid razor that will last a long time. I shave my head every second day so it will see plenty of action.The beauty of the 34c is that it is a heavy razor of solid construction and has a short handle which I am sure you would find suitable for all the shaving angles and turns you need to do in order to shave your napper.
This razor does not require any pressure while shaving due to its weight.
Hope this helps.
Hi Iain,@Wayne Pritchard - your avatar - by Steve McCurry - of the Magnum agency - Afghan girl with green eyes. It's an iconic image. I read stuff about her recently - the intervening 30 years have not been kind. I.
