Merkur 23 INOX Stainless Steel Safety Razor

The Merkur 23 INOX is a long-handled, stainless steel double edge safety razor. Choose reference 23006 when you want the 23 design in stainless steel rather than the chrome-plated construction of the 23C.

Its 106mm overall length is worth comparing with shorter-handled razors before buying. The diamond-pattern grip gives the fingers a textured surface, while the straight-cut, closed-comb head provides a fixed shaving geometry. The handle is not an adjustment dial.

Key Features

• Three-piece head: Handle, base plate and top cap separate for blade changes.
• Stainless steel: 1.4301 handle with a 316L head and satin finish.
• Long handle: A different grip choice from a compact short-handled razor.
• Standard DE format: Uses full-size double edge safety-razor blades.

Loading and Care

Unscrew the handle to separate the head, fit a blade in the correct position and reassemble securely before shaving. Hold the head carefully during loading, keeping fingers away from the cutting edges. This is a traditional safety razor, not a cartridge system.

Rinse away lather and hair after use, then allow the parts to dry. Stainless steel still needs cleaning; do not leave a wet blade and soap residue trapped in the assembled head for prolonged storage.
