The Merkur 38C Heavy Duty (HD for short) is a two piece safety razor with
polished chrome finish and barber pole style etching on the handle. The handle measures about 3.75 inches from the
bottom of the handle to the base of the razor head. It measures 4 inches from
end to end and weighs 4 oz (on our scale).

To compare it to another popular Merkur razor, the Merkur 34C HD measures
3.25 inches from end to end with a
handle that measures about 3 inches from the tip to the base of the razor head
and this razor weighs in at 2.8 oz (on our scale). It shares the same razor
head design as the 38C.

We took a look at this razor in a short video.
I've had the Merkur 38C in the wet shaving arsenal for a
little while. Even posted some Shave of the Day or SOTD pics with this Razor
(as well as an assortment of other shaving related pictures) on Instagram.

Personally, I've gotten accustomed to the Crystal RazorBlades (a.k.a Israeli Personnas) and find those to be work well with the 38C
razor. I've tried a few others like Shark Super Chrome, Derby Extra Super
Stainless Blades, and Merkur DE Blades, but I’m partial to the Crystal blades.
Have you tried the Merkur 38C HD or the 34C HD? Which do you
prefer?
