Newbie with ripped face

Pro tip: avoid ebaying for razors around Christmas time and Father's day. Prices tend to go a little crazy when spouses go razor shopping for that "I've always wanted to try one of those" razors.
Wise words indeed.

Similarly January and February are usually a good time to buy as unwanted presents go on the market and quite a few folks need to liquidate assets gathering dust due to cash flow problems

Got my eye on an Merkur 34c HD now on the bay it's an unwanted gift with about 30 blades just working out what to bid to its brand new on a faux leather case

If it's a the one described as "Merkur style 34C HD" be mindful of the word "style". The word "style" might be used glibly or it might mean that it's a razor that looks or shaves like a Merkur 34C HD. Even if it is in the style of a Merkur 34C it could be a very good razor. Eyes wide open and all that.

Hello, I'm a newbie too, hope my technique improves before I give up and go back to my hydro 5. For info, I'm using a 34c, astra Sp, Derby soap in a bowl and a vulvix brush

I'm sure it will I'm sure shaving traditionally is more enjoyable even if the shave isn't brilliant, I've had Turkish shaves done that wasn't that close but very enjoyable
