    Hi Heiko,
    der 34G (Gold Version) ist auch einer meiner Top 5 Rasierhobel. Very cool looking und macht einen echt guten Job. Ich habe hier übrigens eine überarbeitete ‚Prototype-Version‘ vom 34C zum Testen von Merkur bekommen, die sogar noch geiler ist. Supersanft und dabei total gründlich. Merkur sollte diese Version unbedingt zeitnah herausbringen. Es ist aktuell mein absoluter Lieblingsrasierer!
    Herzliche Grüße
    Jörg

    Hey Heiko, I'm watching some of your old vids because I'm thinking of getting a German friend either a Rockwell 2c or Merkur 34C for the holidays. I love that you actually talk about how the razor handles and feels; some other popular channels glance over that and give the same spiel every time. Thanks for being genuine and nice improvements on the channel since even 3 months ago

      Thanks, I appreciate that. You can't go wrong with either of those razors. With the Rockwell they will have a bit more flexibility in aggression.

    Very nice shave! Seems like the 34c is a great razor for you. Got you a smooth, very comfortable, nick and irritation free shave.

      It is great. Really so comfortable that I could use it daily for a one pass shave. Greetings

    Nice shave Heiko !
    Although the sunburn isn't that much fun, the look suits you. ( although you look quit tired )
    I think it's nice to see a razor again which isn't that much exhibited anymore.
    Never heard anything about Prep, so I've put it into my wishlist.
    Many thanks again and have a safe day Heiko ! !

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is a good comfortable razor and it isn't so mild that it doesn't shave anymore. I will definitely keep this one.

    • @melteds3008
      @melteds3008 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's good to know, I have a 41c and was wondering if there is much of a difference between the two if any?
      Maybe that could be a future comparison video as well , haha maybe.

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is definitely a difference in feel. The open comb feels a bit rougher but is just as gentle when it come to irritation.

    Love my MERKUR 34C. But I've just stripped my second head thread. It's like the screws too small. I have very sensitive skin and fair skin. Any other razor you could recommend for me? Thank you!

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just did a shave with a Yintal 316L stainless steel razor. Very mild, very pleasant. The other razor that is my absolute favorite when it comes to mildness but still has effiency is the Leaf Twig. That one is great.

    hello Heiko,I never usted the Merkur 34c,wich do you think is softer(mild) between Merkur34c,Edwin Jagger DE89 and King C Gilette

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is hard to say. The king C gillette memory is already fading away. I got all three now how about I make a video about it. I am guessing the mildest is the 34c but let me verify that for you.

  • @MaestroAki

    I really enjoy the German word of the shave. Try a Feather blade in the Merkur and stubble will be gone!

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is sound advice. A mild razor with a sharp blade will make it a bit more efficient. Thanks, I will try that.

    Hallo Heiko, nach dem Wilkinson Classic war der 33C mein erster Metallhobel. Der 34C kam später nur deshalb dazu, weil ich den Drehknauf des 34C im Progress benutzen wollte. Wenn man die Längsrillen unter dem Punkt mit einer Farbmarkierung versieht könnte man sich an der Kannelierung der Griffhülse (1-8) für die Einstellung orientieren, so zumindest der Gedanke. Leider passt der Drehknauf des 34C mit seinem größeren Durchmesser nicht in den Progress, aber mit einer eigenen Drehbank in der Garage kommt man bestimmt garnicht erst auf solche Ideen ala Frankenstein.

    Another fantastic shave! I love the Prep. One of my favorite preshaves. I've had trouble finding it though, where did you get yours? Back when I just had two razors that I shaved with, it was the 41C (I think) open comb to take off 4 or 5 days of stubble, for the first pass, followed by the 34C for the final 2 passes. Always a great razor. Cheers and have a fun week!

    Hydrovance is hydroxyethyl urea which acts as a moisturising agent. Nice shave indeed.

    @10floz30minutes ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Educated guessing is good what you say ~9 : 30 on the timeline, but the number of passes and idea of "beard reduction" is also applicable. You only appear to have no more than 4 days of growth, and your shave with this mild razor goes very well; and you were on the end of pass 1.

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว

      It did a good job, didn't get clogged but I guess that also depends a bit on the type of soap. It removed stubbles on all three passes and it led to a clean shaven face.

  • @MaestroAki
    @MaestroAki ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Heiko, have you shaved with the Rockwell on video? I'm thinking of getting the 6C even though I only started shaving four months ago.

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have one video out on a 6S. I didn't immediately warm up to it but I have since changed my approach to reviewing and shaving. I will revisit the 6S soon. The 6C is a less expensive alternative. Go for it try it. Let me know what you think.

    • @davereed6363
      @davereed6363 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Rockwell 6C is a great razor - you really need to get it - won't be disappointed.

    • @petekadenz9465
      @petekadenz9465 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 6C is an excellent razor. It’s very smooth. And of course you get six plates (3 * 2) which will give you the opportunity to see which plate works best for you in terms of comfort and efficiency.

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว

      Can I give you three? My favorite three razors would probably be in no particular order the AL13 Henson, the Merkur 41C(some days maybe the 34C) and the Rockwell 6S.

  • @MonoLake02

    I think that the King C. Gillette has the same head. Maybe a little too mild. While I am watching this, my visiting friend is shaving for the first time with a KC Gillette DE razor that I gifted him today. I think we have another convert…

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว

      I just bought another KC Gillette. I think the head is the same profile as the Edwin Jagger. I will make a comparison between those two razors. The KC Gillette is a good razor and was my first ever giveaway. The only issue I had with it were the sharp out corners. I like them rounded off.

      I just looked. A bit on the pricey side. I can't seem to find a sample size. between $35-50 for a bottle of a scent that I don't know is rough. Lets see.

    I am only guessing here, but with your sunburn, even two-pass shave may give some irritation. (Okay, I was wrong. You report the post shave feel was .... you said nothing about any irritation.)

    • @Heiko-shaves
      @Heiko-shaves  ปีที่แล้ว

      It felt great. It took a bit more effort to get to a smooth face but no knocks or cuts, no irritation to speak of. It was really very comfortable.
