Easter Sunday Morning 20/04/25
I had a brilliant Easter shave today with the above the tie SSRH. I believe this razor was made prior to the buyout by blacklands razors.
I have used this razor on at least four occasions now every time it gives me a very efficient and close shave
definitely not in the mild shaver category in my opinion.
I found it worked very well when combined with the feather high stainless blade.
The barista and man soap lathered very well with good cushioning and a great on the face feel.
The shave was finished off very nicely with Ogallala bay ram and sweet orange aftershave'
1 pass WTG/ATG Done no touch ups or buffing.
Cheers.
PS Don’t eat too much chocolate it can come back to haunt you the next day.
- Razor : Above The Tie SSRH SS (USA)
- Blade : Feather Hi-Stainless (1).
- Brush : Troy Craft custom made (Brush Of Memories).
- Soap : Barrister And Man - Barrister's Reserve Spice.
- Aftershave : Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange.
- Razor Weight : 114 grams.

I find the Weber is slightly more efficient and smoother than the original 34C old version I currently have in my den, and I can't really comment about the new current version of the Merkur 34C which has already come out in production so far.
It's really sad to see the Weber isn't in production anymore, very glad and very happy that I've finally got one after 10 years of hunting the World Wide Web.
Yes..... Merkur has slightly upgrade the original 34C, the new version has already released in production across Europe, keep in mind a lot of wet shaving supplies aren't fully aware of the new release version of 34C, and they STILL have the old version in stock.
See image below I copy from The Shaving Room wet shaving forum, FYI on the update version so you don't get yourself confused.
Left is NEW, right is OLD!
