Merkur is on my shit list which doesn’t help. I’ve had 2 34Cs. The first one I got used and it has good plating and decent enough knurling on the handle. The second one I got for a friend, who later sent it back to me (too mild for him). That one had crappy plating on the base plate, super shallow knurling, rough threads, and a crack in the handle. Garbage all around and Merkur said to contact the seller. I bought it from Chiseled Face on sale and didn’t want to bother Ron with the nonesense… I think I PIF’d that one.
