    I got the Merkur Mk34c and shaved a couple of times with it with the Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades. It feels bit to mild to me and not getting close enough compared to the old starter razorock starter safety razor I had got.

    Is it an issue of technique or that the Astra doesn’t work as well with the Mk34c? Or should I look for another option?
