Eighty-plus years on the market, and still the razor most wet shaving forums point beginners toward first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 34C is a two-piece razor with a brass handle and die-cast zinc head, chrome-plated throughout. The head is manufactured using the zinc die-casting process, which enables very precise manufacturing tolerances. At 77 grams it's substantially heavier than most razors of comparable size - and that weight is the point. It does the work so your hand doesn't have to press. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe closed comb and generous blade gap keep soap flowing freely and prevent the head from clogging mid-shave. A two-piece design means fewer parts, easier cleaning, and nothing to misplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Solingen, Germany. Length: 8.3cm.
