This little beauty really blows me away. I had Bob make a Bull Mastiff Deluxe handle and attach it to my Merkur 38C head. It's a "modern old school 3 piece". The knob on the bottom has a magnet which makes picking up a razor blade no problem at all. I like the Merkur heads but the 38C was too long and I wanted more grip. The 34C was a little light.
PRICE: was good as I had the 38C already and the cost of handle is reasonable.
QUALITY: is very high except for a small chip in the razor which is barely noticeable.
USER FRIENDLY: Hard to not use this right.
GRIP: The knurling is superb and the ridges that run down the handle direct water off and give excellent grip.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: 3 piece old style, not a TTO but simple.
AGGRESSIVENESS: About the same as a Merkur with a bar guard but a little more aggressive due to the weight.
ADJUSTABILITY:N/A
BALANCE: Perfect.
This thing is a Merkur 34C on steroids in a tuxedo. Power and class!
