Merkur HD 34C, Chrome Plated - Not so Good

I bought this product a few months back, I use this as well has Viking Blade safety razor.

pros -
weight is good so as to shave with the weight of the razor
grip is very good due to design on the handle
it is well crafted and even on all sides
fits perfectly in hand due to its size and is easy to navigate through skin curves.

Cons -
it is rather mild on the skin and doesn't shave as effective as Edwin Jagger. I usually do 3 passes Along the grain, across the grain and against the grain. Merkur needs that extra pass to get the BSS shave.

I'd say if you want the perfect baby smooth shave in 3 passes, this isn't the one for you. Viking Blade is better, that's my personal view.
