This is the best razor handle I’ve ever used and it’s because of the closed comb. I’m 63 and had used electric shavers until a few years ago. But I could not wet shave daily either face too saw or cuts. So back to basics and this is my 4th handle type as I now understand what I wanted. Have shaved daily for a couple of weeks and every shave has been a pleasure. Highly recommend the Merkur as it’s elegant design and manufacturing quality are apparent.

After many years using a twin blade cartridge razor, and reading reports, I decided to try a safety razor. I looked long and hard, as many came from India. This is German, with a long handle, and I expected great things from it. Not so. After 2 weeks of trying to get a close shave, I gave up and went back to my twin blade. The safety razor is bulky, does not give a close shave even after a second application of soap, and does not get into skin contours. I'm really disappointed with the results. using my old twin blade, I never have to lather up a second time, and it gives a close and smoother shave. Sorry to say I wasted money on a razor that just doesn't cut it.

Simple, unimprovable, easy to clean, virtually impossible to cut yourself, good-looking, indestructible. This is my go-to razor. I don’t need an adjustable razor because I shave every day. I don’t need an aggressive shave because I’m not obsessed with being macho man! With my 23c I get a perfect shave every morning and my face looks great.

I already have 3 Merkurs. All are heavy so very little pressure required. Heavy handedness of my current Merkurs results in gashes so you learn very quickly. Wanted to try something lighter but this is perhaps too light for me. However the 23c is very easy to use compared with my heavyweight Futur so great for beginners in my opinion.

It is light - 60 gr - with fairly long handle ~98 mm, which is my preference in a shaver. Blade exposure make it a mild shaver so it requires a few more passes to achieve smooth shaving but, you can pull it freely along your face with hardly any chance to cut yourself. I shave once with shaving gel and then, additional passes with only wet face. Very good quality product made in Solingen Germany. It is a three piece shaver so just a little less comfortable to remove and insert blade then twist-to-open type shaver. Modern traditional style double edge safety razor.
