The 34C feels nice. Very similar to the Era level 3 which I've been using.

So far, after 6 shaves, I've been using an average of 2.6 grams of soap per shave. At this rate, I predict I'll have plenty of soap to make it through the month, but won't be surprised if the bottom of the tub starts peeking through at some point.
