Merkur is a quality brand. I like them. I have a 15C and a 33C. Use the 15C mostly!!

Re: When you need just a,"little" shaver..........
I have six, three of them are variations of the 34C HD (one is actually a 34G).
Loaded up with an Astra SP and I get the best shaves out of the 34 than any other razor.

Re: When you need just a,"little" shaver..........
I'm taking it the SP is the superior platinum? I've not tried them. Think I will. I usually use Feather brand. I like the performance of them better than the Gillette or Wilkinson's. I've had some recommend Viking, but I didn't think they shaved as close as the Feather. But I shall give Astra SP a shot!!Steve Warden wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 8:06 pm I have six, three of them are variations of the 34C HD (one is actually a 34G).

You've probably already discovered this about the different brands of blades - for every guy that loves brand X and hates brand Y, there's another guy that loves brand Y and hates brand X.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:21 pmI'm taking it the SP is the superior platinum?

I've tried Feathers. Meh. For the price, I'll pass.
Sample packs of various brands are available on Amazon.

Re: When you need just a,"little" shaver..........
True about personal preferences. I've also not tried Merkur's brand. On the sample packs, was just looking at some on Amazon. One had both the Merkur Platinum and the Astra SP in the mix. So may get that one to try them out.Steve Warden wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:37 pm
