Gillette Heritage Safety Razor Kit includes Double Edge Safety Razor Blade and Travel Case

Q: Is this actually designed and manufactured by gillette, or just a re-branded ej, merkur or muhle? head looks suspiciously similar to those razors.

From Gillette: Q. Where is the razor manufactured? A. The blades are manufactured in Russia, the handle is made in the USA and the capguard is made in Germany.

Q: This question is for gillette. gillette has no tooling to manufacture this type of razor in the usa. where is this razor manufactured?

It's a Muhle R89 head. The same exact one used by Edwin Jagger on the DE89 (and of course Muhle on their own R89). I prefer the Gillette handle over the Muhle, and the case is cool as well, making the Gillette a much better deal in my opinion. The Edwin Jagger is cheaper, but you don't get the case and the handle isn't as good.

Q: is the handle solid or hollow?

The handle is solid, has good balance, great textured grip, and isn't too heavy or light. The handle is I think made out of stainless steel, was designed after a handle on the the old 1920s and 1930s razors.

Q: is this razor more aggressive than the murker 34c?

The answer, of course, is very subjective, depending on a number of factors, such as the blade used and the coarseness and thickness of a person's beard. Personally, I paired the razor with my favorite blade, a Voskhod, and I found that the Gillette Heritage is slightly more aggressive than a Merkur 34c. I have a very coarse and thick beard, and the Heritage provided a very efficient and extremely comfortable shave.
