Attention, the Merkur 34c HD is a razor that is often recommended for beginners. I would say yes, but with caution. This shaver has a good finish but is a little below the quality of a R89 Edwin Jagger for example. His grip is exemplary. I have no complaints about that. The shaver is perfectly balanced and exudes solidité.Le complaint I can make is that it is still a little more aggressive than Ej R89 for example. Otherwise, the practical side: the shaver is in two pieces. Simply unscrew the top of the head using the knob at the bottom of the handle and then smoothly insert the blade. Efficient, faster and safer
