Thanked: 60The Merkur 34C is a fine razor. As to a blade you will just need to experiment to find what suits your skin and technique. A mixed starter pack is a great place to start. Again its a trial and error process.
I prefer a Merkur Progress as even the blade you previously disliked can be dialled in to give a good close shave. Personally I like 7 o' clocks and I would start on a higher setting for a wtg then drop the aggressiveness down on the further two xtg and atg passes. This gives a close but comfortable shave.
I think the only difference you will notice is that the DE will cut the top off and blemishes you have, where as the straight is kinder as its more flexible in this respect. it also doesn't really require any skill either, any one can use a DE.
Another issue is we think we can shave quicker with a DE but if you want a close, nick and irritation free shave It's just not true if your experienced at with a straight and a DE.
Happy hunting
