I have multiple superspeed and a couple other variety razors. The 34c is my go to razor whenever I try a new blade or know I need a good shave without issues. Very smooth shave no natter what blade I use, some better than others but no bad shaves. Love this razor.

I decided to try the DE blade shaving. I first bought the "as seen on TV" razor. It was ok, figured I'm new at this. One week later I bought this Merkur 34c. Best shave I've had, right out if the box! This may be the last razor I ever buy...not. I'm hooked now! Very easy to use, nice clean shave with one pass and could have stopped there and been satisfied with the results. A second pass for cleanup was all that was needed. I definitely recommend this razor and am already looking for other razors to add to my now growing collection (bought 4 razors at the antique shop for cheap). I have tried a couple of them but always go back to the 34C. I look forward to shaving!
