Merkur 23C simply brilliant
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not such a close shave
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Basic perfection
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very light razor more suited to newbies
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent wet shaver !
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Идеальный мягкий станок
Идеален во всех отношениях. Идеальный вес. Идеальная балансировка. Идеальная центровка лезвия. Идеально сидит в руке, а благодаря рифленой гравировке на ручке, не выскальзывает из мокрых рук. Прощает любые ошибки при бритье, порезаться им сложно, но всё таки аккуратность и осторожность необходима. К качеству сборки и отделки придраться просто нереально. Станок для новичков, коим я и являюсь. На нем хорошо учиться отрабатывать технику бритья классическими станками и набираться опыта. Бреет очень мягко и деликатно, не оставляет неприятный ощущений на коже (многое конечно будет зависеть от лезвия, типа щетины, ее подготовки, техники бритья, качества пены и опыта). Владельцы станков этой фирмы в один голос утверждают, что лезвие, которое идет в комплекте лучше сразу выбросить, ибо тупое и волосы вырывает. Решил провести эксперимент на себе и проверить так ли это. Один раз кое как побрился, второй раз получил три пореза и раздражение. Присоединяюсь к большинству и подтверждаю: лезвие идущее в комплекте - мусор. Проверено на себе. Прослужит ни одно десятилетие если с ним хорошо обращаться: мыть мягкой щеткой, периодически дезинфицировать, не ронять и не царапать. Станок на века. Новички - вам однозначно подойдет этот станок. Продавцу отдельное спасибо за быструю доставку и хорошую упаковку. Дошло всё просто прекрасно.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Merkur 23c
Very good quality razor. I used one from the supermarket but this is far superior in quality. If I was happy with the initial Wilkinson I bought locally, it still was a bit fiddly and the aftershave left a burning sensation. With similar blades, the Merkur is a real treat! Close shave, no cuts and no burning. Why isn’t it more widely available???Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for men and women
Great service, price and quality. My husband and I both have one of these in a bid to cut down our plastic waste. I only give it 4 because the head is quite big and it’s awkward to get right up under your nose and other tight spots. Very few nicks and nice smooth finish.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

First classic razor for the newbie
This is my first classic razor (T-shape). For about 15 years before I used Gillette Mach 3 razor. What can I say? This Mercur razor is very sturdy and well made. The quality is good. I used it for about 10 times and it is rather hard to shave correctly after Mach 3 razor. It takes longer to shave with classic razor, but I like it. It is something about man's ritual, when nobody disturbs you and you can reflect with yourself :) I also suggest you to order several different blades and try them, because they are all different.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
