Merkur 23C Metallic Grey Safety Razor

The Merkur 23C Metallic Grey Safety Razor is a long-handled interpretation of one of Merkur's enduring classic designs. Developed from the 23C platform introduced in the 1920s, it keeps the straightforward three-piece construction and closed-comb head that make the model a dependable starting point for traditional wet shaving, while the glossy metallic-grey coating gives it a more contemporary appearance.

The 97 mm handle is finished with Merkur's diamond cross-knurling, giving wet or soapy fingers a more secure hold. Its straight-cut, closed-comb head is designed as an all-rounder: controlled enough for regular facial shaving, yet practical for body shaving too. The generous blade gap helps soap, stubble and hair rinse through during the shave, keeping the cutting edge clearer between passes.

At 66 g, the 23C has a balanced rather than heavy feel, with the longer handle offering useful reach and leverage. It is a sound choice for someone moving into double-edge shaving, or for an experienced shaver who wants a familiar closed-comb razor in a distinctive finish.
