The RazoRock Heavy Duty DE Razor has a stainless steel handle and impresses one as a short little workhorse much like the Merkur HD 34C.  While the Merkur 34C is a two-piece razor, the RazoRock Heavy Duty is a three-piece razor. And, the RazoRock has a bit more heft and weight to it.   thefe’s a really nice feel to this short-handled razor. It feels like it’s built like a tank.

However, be aware. Despite the similarities with the Merkur 34C and the Edwin Jagger, this razor is more on the aggressive side. Beginners to wet shaving would do better to start with a milder razor. I recommend The Godfather Razor by Vikings Blade. It gives a smooth efficient and mild shave. The Godfather is very forgiving. No cuts, nicks or irritation.

Beginners should give themselves three to six months or more before attempting a shave with the RazoRock Heavy Duty DE Razor. After honing your skill and technique, you can then more confidently graduate to using this razor. You’ll find that your face and skin have become more attuned to wet shaving and this razor will be more agreeable.

Take it slow at first and watch your technique, razor angle, etc. You’ll be rewarded with a nice shave. In addition, pay attention to blade alignment. Vikings blade razors, as well as Merkur and Edwin Jagger all align precisely. The RazoRock razors have fairly good blade alignment, but I do find myself giving them a second look. On the positive side, the blade exposure is equal on both sides of the razor head.

All in all, a very good, well made razor for the money suitable for seasoned wet shavers.
