I've read about a Merkur 34C and a Merkur HD. Are they both the Merkur HD 34C?

Merkur HD 34c is the full name. Best razor I've ever owned. Just don't judge it by the terrible Merkur blade it comes with! Just throw that blade away. I found the Wilkinsons to be excellent. Many good blade reviews online. Order a few different brands and find your own favorite. Good luck.

When I puchased it, it was labled 38C HD but I dont see that anywhere else and beleive it was mislabled. The HD is for the heavier model. The 38 c is same length but lighter. There is a also a 34, which is shorter. I like the eavyiness of it because the razor does all the work Hope this helps.

I just realized there is a difference between the G2 and the DMC-GH2K. I've had the DMC-GH2 on order since November.

No. The pocket area of the case is slightly more than 4". A Merkur 34C fits with 1 &1/4" to spare and it's handle is around 2 &1/2" long.

The one there Selling here is the same one they sell in most malls. I beleive its called a corlis or something like that. I own the limited edition pink CHI and this isn't it. I have heard good things about this one... I also have had it a demo done on my hair at the mall. My advice is to go with a real CHI for best results. I have also owned a HAI brand flat iron and it is wonderful. Not quite a CHI but about half the price.

NO. The Braun 350 (looks) like the 340 and even takes the same head, but the similarities end there. The 350 has different electronics that responds to electronic (cycling) of the (cleaning & charging station). The 340 does not have this capability. How do I know this? My Son has the 350 (which I view as far to expensive) and I have the 340. Also, the replacement cleaning cartridges for the 350 cost about $12.00. I also found a way to circumvent this cost. Empty the dirty alcohol/water solution and refill the cartridge with clean solution myself. After several years of use, I personally see little value in paying for a 350 model, as both give an identical shave. NO.

Do some research (for example, Google "wet shaving"). Also, you can get a good perspective on products from the Amazon reviews. My advice - don't get into this by purchasing a cheap "starter kit". That's what I did, and had a horrible introduction to wet shaving (to the point where I almost quit and went back to the multi-blades). Then I did some research and "invested" in a good razor (Merkur HD 34C), high-quality blades, along with a silver-tip badger shave brush and high-quality soap. Now wet shaving is something I enjoy doing each day. I do get an occasional nick, but nothing like those first shaves on the shoddy equipment. Do some research (for example, Google "wet shaving").

Hi CSC. I have the same question, I am about to upgrade to a DH70 from an H31. Did you ever get a reply on the comparison? Or did you buy the HD70 and found out yourself?

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

It is a Feather brand, made in Japan. It works well but is rather light weight. If you can afford a Merkur I would go with that or if you are just starting out with one of these and are not sure.

You can use whatever blade you choose, doesn't have to be a Merkur blade. I used Wilkinson blades and they work great with this razor.

Some people say they are same. I have one, I like it If you want to have very smooth and bright skin &#65292;I suggest you buy TR350

It is the long handled Merkur. The bowl is very small which makes it more difficult to create a good lather without making a mess. However, the overall value of this set still makes it worth the purchase in my opinion.

Oscar...Please clarify the last sentence. Do you think the Mino HD is a better deal, or did you misspeak?

Almost. This is the 33C. The 34C has the thicker heavy handle for big hands or people who just like a little more weight.

I should get the VersaCut by friday, so could give you a better comparison of the two by than. But as far as rk3441k, I would not call it an upgrade to the Versacut, it is just a different mini saw. It is a great little tool. Think of this one as a mini worm-drive circular saw. The main differences between the two are: RK3441k can make deeper cuts and has a larger blade (you can cut 2x4s), versa cut max depth is 1-1/16. Rk3441k is 5 amp, versa cut is 4. With rk3441k you can make bevel cuts, with versa cut you "can't". One has laser the other one does not. But I really would not care for it not being on the rk3440k, with the blade being on the left, it is easy to see where you are going. The last big difference is versa having the plungeble shoe. People seem to either love or hate that feature. I am planing on using it to hopefully ease up making plunge cuts in odd, cramped spots. RK3441k will probably be getting more use even after I get the versa cut. It is just more versatile.
