Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Safety Razor:
The Merkur 34C Double Edge Safety Razor is one of the all-time top selling safety razors. It has a classic, two piece, traditional design. It is a mild, yet very effective, shaver suitable for just about anyone. German 'Made in Solingen' quality, classic close shave capability, classic retro good looks and it uses all safety razor replacement blades.

Manufactured by Merkur Stahlwaren in Solingen, Germany, who have for many years manufactured the finest razors and grooming accessories, using high-quality materials and fine craftsmanship.

Muhle R106 Closed Comb Black Safety Razor - now discontinued, we recommend the Muhle R89 in its place.
This safety razor will give a mild yet close and comfortable shave and is perfect for beginners and experienced wet shavers alike.
The R89 Black features a smart black chrome handle and shiny chrome head, collar and base. The black handle is lightly knurled to ensure a reassuringly firm grip even when wet.The closed comb head ensures that not too much blade is exposed but it will still deliver a close, smooth shave.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Timor German Made Closed Comb Safety Razor
This Timor Safety Razor is made in Solingen, Germany by Giesen & Forsthof.
We recommend this razor for beginners to traditional wet shaving and for men with normal skin and beard types. This is a truly wonderfully efficient razor that shaves you closely with no post-shave irritation.
The Timor benefits from a low-profile head which makes shaving under the nose and shaving sideburns ever so easy.
The head is zinc die-casted with a shiny chrome plating while the long handle is made from solid brass with a shiny chrome plating. The handle benefits from a grooved finish that not only looks nicer than knurling this finish also delivers a firmer grip when the handle is wet.
The Timor is a mild shaver, similar to the Merkur 34c, the Muhle R89 and Jagger 89.

Would this be the same for someone with coarse facial hair?
@@pedroarellano4266 Start off with one of these razors, work on your technique and maybe 6 months on you will want a closer shaving razor. Thanks for watching.
Brian
those razors we can use them with any blade brand?
It would be nice if Executive Shaving could also stock some British made razors such as Edwin Jagger.
i need a stand that fits the timor razer :)
Love this guy. Watched the How to Shave With a Safety Razor video from 4 years ago just a couple of weeks ago. Glad to see you're still going strong, good sir!
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Everybody loves that video (myself included), I bet Brian is sick of hearing about it lol
@@silverbullet2008bb I don't know, I imagine he takes a lot of pride in his videos so I would think he would never tire of hearing it
Got into safety razors about two months ago, always shaved with cartridge. Bought the Supply razor and couldn't get used to it, kept cutting myself while not having as close a shave as I wanted. Followed Brian's advice and purchased the Timor. I can truly say I had the best self-shave of my life.
Thank you Brian !
Hi, you are welcome. Hope everything is still going well.
I just finished my first shave using the Timor 1325 - the stainless steel long handle version of the Timor Pure Shaver seen in this video. It's slightly more expensive but well worth the extra cost (45 euros vs 60 euros). The build quality is superb! The razor provides a close and absolutely nick free shave in about 3-4 passes.
The long handle is well weighted and knurled. You get a very good grip and you just allow the weight to do the work by gently gliding it along your skin. And it looks gorgeous! Makes you want to shave every time you get into your bathroom :)
Pair it with the Personna Platinum blades, another a spot on recommendation by the good folks at ESC and some of their lovely Natural shaving cream & Pre Shave oil and you are all set for the shave of your life !
Thanks ESC for stocking some of the best shaving supplies and for the awesome customer service!
You're right about the long handle Timor. It's well made and it's a very efficient, mild shaving razor.
Personna blades I have used for many years and they're the best for most men.
I'm glad you have found the right tools.
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback.
Brian
I really like your short videos. You get to the point and deliver great content. Thanks
Thanks for watching.
Brian
The first safety razor I ever purchased, from Executive Shaving of course, was the Merkur 'Barber Pole' model - It's quite mild I think and I enjoyed starting out with it; great for big hands (long, thick handle), nice weight at 120g (no manual pressure required at all really), looks good, well made, and a good price.
That will likely be the 38C you have, a fine razor but we sell few these days as Muhle in particular is now the dominant force, Timor is making up ground.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Just ordered my first Timor razor from Giesen & Forsthoff. Can't wait to get started!!! Many thanks to Brian for educating us all!
Great video and recommendations. For any grip problems every beginner should have an alum block for the post shave. The alum block will also help you grip anything with wet fingers during the shave process, it really is amazing. Just wet the alum block or your fingers then rub them on the alum block.
This is the second time in a row that you've introduced a razor (Timor)that I've never heard of! These product videos are the equivalent of Graduate School for experienced wet shavers. ;-)
That's the general idea WolfRanger.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
My first and only safety razor is the Feather stainless steel razor. Expensive but totally worth the money. A feather razor and blade + Proraso products have given me the best shaves of my life, and I wish I’d tried safety razors 20 years ago.
The Feather razor is faultless, pricey but worth every penny. Thanks for watching.
i personally like the Murker style safety razors where you can turn the dial to increase or decrease the travel of the head. You can get a knockoff for real cheap (i paid $20 about 6 years ago) and it's so versitile for even longer hair and on the #1 setting it gives the closest shave i've ever gotten from a razor. That 1 razor because it's adjustable can do the job of 6 at a fixed setting. For me it was a no brainer
I love my Timor razor, I've been shaving with it for I think 4 years now and it always gives a great shave.
You're right, great build quality and a mild shaver.
Thanks for your feedback.
Brian
Is it good for hair
I bought the Timor from you guys last year. BEST PURCHASE EVER!
There are these zero waste companies who have no experience in making safety razors and it really turns people off buying them.
I think you need to make the Timor a star and get it recommended by zero waste influencers to beginners in the zero waste world!
Your products are high quality and the customer service was excellent!
Im almost in need of new blades. So thank you for keeps the cost of blades dirt cheap.
❤️ 🇦🇺
Thank you Bianca and thanks for watching.
Just bought a feather "popular" razor for $19 Canadian after watching your video on how to use these razors for beginners!
It may have plastic and have a slight rattle but feels like such a well build product that's made in japan.
My neck had some pretty bad razor burn and I often grew a beard just because I hated shaving over it but I've been using this razor for a bit over a week now and I'm starting to get a quicker shave with this cause it doesn't clog up as much as the multiblade razors. It also just glides over bumps very well, this made shaving something I enjoy instead of a painful chore.
I'm just using a cheap can of foamy Gillette might grab a brush and some nicer cream when I use up my supply but I'll definitely keep a can handy for a quick shave.
If anything.....at least try some good shaving cream. I use Nivea Men shaving gel with Zero alcohol. For an extra 1$ or so, very much worth it :)
Going from a foam to a decent cream or soap is game changing, give it a try.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
I purchased the R106 after watching your tutorial video, glad it’s still one of your favourites. Nice short video explaining the 3 razors
It's a superb razor for novice/more experienced wet shavers, it will always be up there in my top 3. Thanks for watching Darren!
Bought my first DE razor from Brian 2 years ago and haven’t looked back since - the Merkur 34C. It still features in my rotation and gives excellent results!
Thanks Brian!
Hi Gordon, I know who you are. The 34c is an all-time classic.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
I purchased the R106 after watching this. I would say the handle is a little too short, but it is overall an excellent product. Gentle on the face, I’ve yet to nick myself with it, and have now purchased two more, one for travel, and one for my weekend home. Until now it’s been Wilkinson Sword for me, not any longer. Good video, giving excellent advice. Thank you.
Great news! Thank you for watching.
You seem to have a good experience with the razor which is great to hear. Although coming to order one myself. What blades do you use or recommend for a beginner? I have no idea.
@@SkyZi9 He did mention the Personna blades . They are available on the ESC site
which Timor model is, the 1322 or 1321?
Thank you sir , im going with the Muhle R106
A wise decision!
Brian
Hi Brian. Great video! I had taken your products with me on my world-wide travels (when it was safe to do so). The ES large shaving brush travel holder is worth its weight in gold...hold every brush but the PAA Atomic Rocket brush. Loved all the samples shaving soaps, especially the Bay Rum. I can't wait to get back to Glasgow!
Hi Todd, be safe you on your travels.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Thank you so much for your advice.
Take care from Montréal, Québec
Thank you for watching and say safe.
@@ExecutiveShaving you welcome and stay safe as well
Got the timor after watching this video. Awesome recommendation .... thx ...
You have chosen well, the Timor is a well-made razor that delivers close yet comfortable shaves.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
I love the Parker Razors because of the weight and knurling on the handles. The Parker 56r is my favorite sofar. It's mild and very effective.
I wouldn't say the 65R is mild, we class that as a close shaving razor.
It's amazing value for money, made in India.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving I said the 56r not the 65r. The 56r came out a year ago actually it's fairly new. With the 56r I can do a three shave pass and have zero irritation. Comparing that to say my 74r which is more on the aggressive side which I can do two passes and accomplish the same results as the 56r.
@@RobertNES816 The Parker 56R and 65R share the same head.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving I saw that. But they must not feel aggressive to me 🤷🏻♂️ they glide like a mild Razor.
@@ExecutiveShaving Wow! Didn't know the parkers are made in my backyard! Thanks for this information, Brain!
I had tried the Muhle R106 and is amazing. I recommend it to beginners
Hi Diogo, thanks for watching and your feedback. The MÜHLE R106 is a great razor for beginners!
That Timor looks great. harder to get in the US. I like the handle size: 3.15" (inches) / 80mm, since I tend to put my pinky finger at the bottom end of the handle.
Some experienced safety razor shavers say that using a mild razor with a sharp blade is very effective. That seems to be exactly what you combined with those razors paired with Personna blades.
Thanks for the lesson.
We're so glad we could help! We ship to the US and have the Timor in stock at the moment: bit.ly/3sWLWyI
Just watched your shaving video, as a beginner to safety razors (haven’t tried yet) you sold me. Putting in my first order through you guys today. Going with the beginner kit and lathering bowl.
We're delighted to hear that you're making the switch to using a safety razor, the starter kit is the perfect place to start! You'll have to update us with how you get on 👍
@@ExecutiveShaving will do, I can’t wait 😁
Another great video Brian 👍
It got me thinking... What is *your* no.1 favourite razor of all time?
The OneBlade Genesis.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving Hmm... a bit too pricey for me to try. Maybe i'll give one a shot if I ever win the Lottery! 👍 all the best!
Do you recommend a brand of blades for specifically shaving your head, I’m finding the personna platinum chrome to be good on my face but not getting a close enough shave on my head. I have a full head of hair so my stubble might be too course for these blades?
Feather, japanese sharpened blades
I find those Personna blades to be extremely finicky - they work great in some razors and are absolutely unusable in others. Just my 2 cents.
Your opinion is valuable for others.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
The Personna Israeli Red is the best for me! I also like Dorco, Shark, Astra, Lord.
Thank you so much for all your videos. Very informative, and to the point. Please keep up the good work.
Great to hear George, thank you for watching.
I think the Fatip Testina Gentile is the best for a beginner. It’s better than the DE89 and made of brass. I’m an aggressive open comb man but I love the Gentile. Super efficient and a better shaver than the DE89!
Good to know!
As a beginner, what am I looking for ? I hear so many terms and to me they all look the same, what features do I look for?!!
James - watch the video, I explain why these three are good for a beginner.
This too: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/blog/post/recommended-safety-razors-for-beginners

For my 1st safety razor, I recently got one thats manufactured in my country. very affordable and well made. maybe later i'll jump to one of these
Thanks for watching!
Καλησπέρα.και ποια είναι αυτή φιλαράκι;
@@MitsakosWestSide nipavo pogotonomia. Βγαίνει σε butterfly και closed comb. Καλημέρα!
I really appreciate this video! it seems like an investment at first but the blades are super cheap!
You're right, the replacement blades are way cheaper compared to cartridge blades, moreover, this way of shaving is better for your skin and the planet (the blades can be recycled).
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Does anybody know if you can buy Judas Priest razor blades as shown on their classic British Steel album?
Joking aside, I'm still juggling which safety razor to start out on. Maybe I am leaning towards the Merkur but that Timor is looking just as tempting now... 🤔
Hi Fabian, all three razors we recommend will do a good job for you.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Hello Clarice. We meet again...
Just started using a safety razor again and love it👍
Brian, which is your favorite safety razor?
Hi Jason, the best safety razor we have just now is our new stainless steel Outlaw razor - www.executive-shaving.co.uk/executive-shaving-all-stainless-steel-outlaw-double-edge-safety-razor - just recently arrived in stock.
Can you give me the exact name and model of that Timor razor? I just can't find it... please
As far as I know, we are the only retailer that sells that razor, Timor make 500 at a time for us: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/timor-german-made-closed-comb-safety-razor

This gentleman merits an OBE for his services to the nation! Please sign the forthcoming petition.
Thanks for watching!
Brian. Thanks for posting this (and other) video. It consolidated my thinking. I just ordered a Merkur 34c from you (and a few other bits and pieces).
Very much looking forward to getting back into traditional razors. I started out on them (some 40 odd years ago!).
Am sure it will all come back to me with a little practise :-)
Glad to hear you're getting back into the traditional shave! Thanks for watching ☺
Does the Timor have a similar head or shave to the DE 89? From the pictures the base plate looks very similar.
Which Timor model # is this? I’m based in the U.S. and I’m having trouble finding this same Timor. I’ve the 1320 for sale which is a butterfly razor but I’m not sure if it features the low profile head or has similar weight and dimensions. Thank you.
Hi Michael, this is what you need:

Brian
I think it's 1352
Amazing video, as always. Do you happen to sell a beginners kit that includes everything I would need to start wet shaving? A kit that includes the razor, extra blades, shave soap, pre shave oil, brush, bowl, etc.? I bought a kit from a department store but I'm unimpressed with the quality. I noticed first that when I was stirring up the shave soap with the boar hair brush that the brush was spinning around inside the handle, making it extremely difficult to get a good lather going. Only tried wet shaving the one time, wasn't the best experience, but I accept the blame on it for not doing my homework and purchasing higher quality products. The razor itself is probably decent, but the replacement double edge blades weren't high quality, very unimpressed with the brush, and the soap I don't believe was anything like what I have seen you use in other videos. Was hard to remove just a small piece to put in the bowl, was basically like a round bar of soap and had to cut pieces of it with a kitchen knife. Definitely want to give it another go but this time with the right shaving supplies.
I found the beginners kit, just clicked on the link you provided for the beginners razors and just browsed the site and found exactly what I needed. I've watched the tutorial about 7 or 8 times now, just have to get the proper product and I'm confident my second try with wet shaving will be a much better experience
Thanks for watching. We do have a DE starter set here: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/executive-shaving-beginners-safety-razor-and-brush-gift-set
Do you happen to know which model Timor razor this is? Trying to find them online and see if worth purchasing, i am new to the double edge safety razor and trying to find which blade and razor combo works best for me
We have recommended the Timor for a few good reasons - all mentioned in the video.
It is worth purchasing, whey else would we recommend it?
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving yeah just could not find the model shown in this video thats all. Thanks
Doesn't look like it exists in the Timor catalog in the form shown in this video: the handle knurling looks like what they have on their butterfly variants but the head is a traditional 2-piece and not a butterfly. Maybe they just started making the detachable handles like this more recently and haven't updated their catalog. Could be a 1350/1351 or a 1325 with updated handle. (What you're looking for is the company Giesen & Forsthoff, by the way, and Timor is just one of their brands.)
But what Timor model
@@TommyGunzzz It's called the Timor Pure Razor. It is available on the ESC site. Just search for the brand Timor and it pops up
very nice video and always an interesting topic. and then, you also have the double open comb razors which act completely different in my experience. they can be very very mild, or quite efficient. i do find those pretty good at buffing because of the ‘lather channels’. So shorter strokes work really well with those for me. But I agree on the more scratchy feeling, depending on what razor ofcourse. When I haven’t shaved for some days I tend to go for a DOC or open comb. But ofcourse a closed comb will do fine too. The great thing about having so much choice: everyone can pick what they like and nothing is wrong as long as it works for you! :)
Thanks for your comments Jeroen, you're right - use whatever works best for you.
Brian
Thank you Sir for amazing reviews and you convinced me to get a Mühle r106 !
I'm sure you will love it, it's a fine razor.
Brian
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME RAZORS!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING AND SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
Thanks very much for watching - glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm very clean and all my grooming tools are stainless steel and easy to clean, i.e. disassembles with no hidden parts, so I can scrub ALL parts with bleach. Can you recommend a safety razor like that?
I have R106 from ES but my blade of choice is Astra SP (also from you)
The R106 is a great razor and is still one of our top-sellers. Thanks for watching!
Firstly, thanks for doing these videos. Greatly appreciated. I’ve decided to make the switch from cartridges to a safety razor. I have a fully grown beard and shave minimal parts of my face and neck. I like clean lines on my beard, and currently when I shave, I have to go in multiple directions both with and against the grain to achieve this. How difficult is this to do with a safety razor? Any tips before I attempt my lines and end up mutilating my face? Thanks so much for your time!
The Timor would be the best option for you as the low-profile head has really good sightlines allowing you to get right up the edge of your beard lines easily.
You will not have to do multiple passes, do one pass in the direction your hair grows in and one against the grain (the opposite direction).
Take your time, apply light pressure only, shave with a sharp blade on a rich lather and you will be absolutely fine.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Never used a safety razor before but want to get one, I’m thinking about getting the Parker variant adjustable, think it will be good or what you think?
The Variant is a good razor, well made and good value for money. Start off on setting 2 and only shave twice in the direction your bristles grow in. Shave on a rich lather and use a light touch: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/parker-variant-adjustable-safety-razor-graphite-and-matte
Brian
Just bought the Timor.
I had bought the Merkur Futur as a beginner's razor. My mistake.
It's night and day difference.
Timor allows you to get crafty with this type of shaving because it's way lighter.
Futur is for a Beast Expert.
We would definitely recommend the Timor as a beginners safety razor over the Merkur Futur! Glad you seem to be liking the Timor, thanks for watching ☺
I really enjoyed this video and it told me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and we are glad to be of help!
Which one is the best for sensitive skin?
They are all ideal for sensitive skin. All are mild shavers.
Brian
What about mekur 23c?
Is the head of the r89 the same as the r106? If not what is the difference in shaving?
The R89 and R106 share the same head, price and dimensions, the only difference is the handle.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving thank you for your quick answer.
How much is shipping to USA? Is there anywhere to buy this Timor razor in USA?
Shipping using a Track & Trace system is £18.99.
At the top right-hand corner of the homepage www.executive-shaving.co.uk you’ll see a flag emblem, click on the flag and choose a currency.
You will not pay the 20% VAT (sales tax) us Europeans pay, this is deducted at checkout.
You may have to pay import tax at your end.
You can pay by PayPal or credit card.
I am not sure if the Timor we sell is available in the US.
Brian
I ordered a timor razor 5 minutes ago. I have sensitive skin and the gilette cartridge razors work decent but still irritate my skin a lot. I hope this does the trick.
Thank you for your business Jordy!
Change the blade after 4 x shaves, use a light touch and shave on a rich, creamy lather and I'm sure you'll love the Timor.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving Thanks for the advise
Interesting!- For me, the best razor of choice is the Gillette/Rotbart Slim Twist. I always go back to the Slim Twist. It has a long, easy to hold handle, it easy to use and gives a good result.
What about the Razorock Game Changer 84-P? Or the Rockwell 6c? Or the Razorock Lupo?
Exactly? What about them? Rockwell - made in China and issues with quality and often availability.
These three razors are in my opinion, best for a beginner.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@ExecutiveShaving Hmm. Good point there. Plus the head on the Rockwell is a little clunky. Still a great beginner razor though. But what about the Karve or the Game Changer 84-P with the barber pole handle? Such a great razor! And you've just got to try the Lupo which is based off the Wolfman WR1. It's basically an affordable easier to get version of the Wolfman. Both great razors for beginners and veterans alike. There are many other great razors but they're all over $100 so I can't really recommend them for beginners. For what it's worth I've always wanted to try the razor's you are recommending as well. Nick Shaves swears by the Merkur 34C. But I've never tried one. And those Muhle razors sure are pretty.
What model number is the Timor? I can only find the butterfly version.
Is the butterfly good for a first razor?
Wondering the same thing
@@TommyGunzzz Giesen and Forsthoff TIM1354
It is made by G&F
Timor is just one of their lines.
@@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si thank you. The only thing is if you type in Timor, you get a bunch of Timors
@@TommyGunzzz that through me off also, so I had to research it. Timor is just a line of G&F razors. It is in the product number TIM1354
Here's a link to the Timor featured in the video: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/timor-german-made-closed-comb-safety-razor
What’s next step up from these beginner units? And why not stay with smooth ones like these?
The next step up would be our Braveheart Safety Razor. This will do in two passes what other razors will do in three, in return leading to less post-shave irritation. www.executive-shaving.co.uk/executive-shaving-the-braveheart-stainless-steel-handle-safety-razor
What about wilkinson sword premium collection? its 20 bucks and seems good also im just 17 and need somerhing very safe because i can barely use a curtage razor withouth cutting myself
We don't stock Wilkinson Sword razors, just blades! The Muhle R89 would be a good option for you starting out with a safety razor - it's a mild yet effective razor. Try pairing it with a Personna or Tiger blade and just take your time while you learn how to properly use a safety razor! You can follow our tutorial where Robert shaves with the Muhle R89 too for some guidance: ruclips.net/video/t8Lqz3L2QLA/видео.html
I’m curious why the handles are so short on most of the safety razors I’ve seen.
Hello, the Timor Razor is curently sold out on the website. Can you please tell me which model is so i can order it from somwhere else? Is it hte Timor G&F 1352 or Timor G&F 1353. I cant tell the difference.
The Timor will be back in stock on our website in 2 weeks or so. Our Mild Safety Razor is also a good option, see here - www.executive-shaving.co.uk/executive-shaving-company-mild-stainless-steel-handle-safety-razor

Click on the blue coloured 'Notify me when this product is in stock' button - fill in your details, we will email you when the Timor arrives here.

Good classic choices. Put a feather blade in them and they become more advanced (aggressive).
Assertive and closer shaving yes. Having said that a user will get a close have with all of these razors with a mild shaving blade such as Personna or Tiger.
Thanks for watching.

Thank you sir for the video, great job.

What is the model number for the Timor razor?

lower the music in relation to your voice. otherwise great video. Honestly you probably don't even need music while speaking.
What is the Timor model number ? I cannot see it listed under your description .
It is the third razor listed in the description! It's the Timor Pure Closed Comb Safety Razor, here is the link: bit.ly/3sWLWyI

Hi Brian! I wanna get the Timor Razor from your website, but it's not allowing me to access from Hong Kong Orz
Any idea when that Timor safety razor will be restocked? (Idk if this is the second time I’ve asked..😂)
Hi, Timor have been struggling with production. We are hoping to get more stock in during the w/c 24/8/20.
I'm on the lookout for a safety razor with some weight to it.
I'm a beginner. Any suggestions guys?
Hello Mattias, thanks for getting in touch. It depends on your budget and if you can wait around 10 days or not?
This is due in very soon, it's a close shaving, two pass razor: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/executive-shaving-outlaw-all-stainless-steel-razor
Check weight and dimensions in Product Details.
This has decent weight due to the solid, stainless steel handle, a mild yet effective shaver: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/timor-german-made-long-handle-closed-comb-safety-razor
Also, any of the two Rex razors, all stainless steel: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/brands/rex-supply-co

@@ExecutiveShaving I have no limited budget. As long as it matches my needs :)
I will take a closer look, thank you!

I bought the Timor and can’t get a close shave whatever technique I use, I’ve tried several different blades as well. Have I bought the wrong one for me?
It could be the case that it's not your match however 9/10 times it is a case of the blades. If you want to pop over onto Live Chat on our website or send us an email info@executive-shaving we would be happy to try and give you some more advice. Thanks for watching.
Wich blades are best with merkur 34c? Im interested in feather but im a beginner and 17 years old. As the 34c has a closed comb i thought the feather blades would be good for my sensitive skin and I also have to do less passes for a close shave. I'd love to hear from you, Carlo
Hi Carlo. I would recommend you start off with the personna blades - these are milder so will be kinder for your sensitive skin. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
What would you think of the murkur 34c razor is that any good for beginners.
Really like your shirt. Can you say its brand plz
I absolutly enjoy my Timor! But what can i do to maintain it? Thx
What about the Merkur Future on setting 1 or 2.
No, far too cumbersome for shaving under the nose. The Futur complicates matters for a beginner.
Thanks for watching.

Didn't quite get the name of the 3rd safety razor you recommended in this video. Please post the full name and make on this chat. Regards.
The third is the Timor German Made Closed Comb Safety Razor which you can purchase here: bit.ly/41yqAEc all details can also be found in the video description!
Surprised he didn't mention the Edwin Jagger
Same head as Muhle R89 and R106.
Thanks for watching.

Executive Shaving yes but what makes it better is that it’s made in England ;)
Merkur 34c is excellent for beginners.
It sure is!
I intend to shave my head so would these recommendations still stand or is there something better?
Hi there, take a look at our Head Blade range. These are more suitable for head shaving. Thank you for watching.
@@ExecutiveShaving thank you
Is the R106 head-heavy and does the handle have a knurling on it ?
We find the R106 is perfectly balanced - it weighs approx 65g. There is no knurling on the handle. However, it has a non-slip treatment to ensure a firm grip when shaving.
Great video Brian and I have bought the Timor from you. Is there a razor stand that would fit ?
Hi, the best stand we have for the Timor razor is this one - www.executive-shaving.co.uk/rockwell-white-chrome-safety-razor-stand - it is not a perfect fit, but much better than anything else.
Thanks for the recommendations! What do you think are good blades for an irritation free shave as my skin is super sensitive? Are feather blades any good or do you recommend something else?
I just started using a safety razor last week and have pretty sensitive skin,
If you can find a good sampler pack that might be a good idea as you can find what blades agree with you and then you can order a bulk package cheap, personally I lucked out just bought a 100 pack of derbys and I liked them.
They give me a nice pain free shave and went over my razer bumps/acne no problem.
I tried a feather blade today and it gave me a very nice shave without irritation. They're definitely a good bit sharper then the derby's causing me to nick myself a couple times. I might buy some more feathers and try and master them, the way I see it if I can get a good shave with some of the sharpest blades I can work on getting the best technique with my razor
@@craigbeade8654 Thanks for the reply! I'll look into some sampler packs and try things out
Personna are mild and very effective: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/brands/personna

Do you know if you will restock the Timor 3 piece safety razor?
Hi, Timor have been struggling with production. We are hoping to get more stock in during the w/c 24/8/20.
Just bought the Timor :)))
Great choice!
@@ExecutiveShaving i think these videos made the switch much easier and less scary.thanks!
.....Attention men with noses...use the last one he recommended!.... (sorry I had too, just coming from a old Schick ST2 ad)
Before my time maybe?
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Executive Shaving well they would call it the Wilkinson Sword Slim Twin by now I think.
I shave with a rusty butcher knife from world war 2. highly recommend for more advanced shavers if youre seeking a challenge
Haha! Thanks for watching.
What does "heavy duty" razor mean?
Heavy Duty or HD is a term used by Merkur for the 34c, often it is referred to as the 34HD.
Brian
Love accent, is you Irish?
Scottish - with an Irish grandmother!
Thanks for watching.
Brian
How many time you change the blade? every shave or two time to three?
It depends on a lot of different factors including how heavy your growth is, how often you shave etc but you should get around 3 good shaves from each blade.
@@ExecutiveShaving thank you for answer.
