The 23C is basically the Merkur HD head on a longer handle.
However Its Thinner and less weighty than the similar Merkur 38C 'Barber pole'.
The Razor provides a very similar shave to both, but due to the balance tipped slightly towards the head is easier to learn technique
for beginers to DE shaving.
I own a great many DE razors and i have found myself often using this razor as my 'go to'.
Its very elegant yet still has the solid Merkur build quality.

This razor seems to personify "German engineering". Excellent quality of materials, design, manufacture... the lot!
It's a fairly light razor despite the longer handle and having the same head set-up as the renowned 34C it gives a fantastic shave, especially for those with bigger hands or that prefer a longer handle.
As it is a basic 3-piece design it will last longer than me and is easy to keep clean & hygienic. Great value too!

I was always curious about straight razor shaving for a long time, but the expense was intimidating. On a lark, I did some research on wet shaving, and found out about DE/Safety Razors. The Merkur brand was pretty common, and the price was right. I paired this up with Tabac shave soap, Feather razor blades, and a badger hair brush, and WOW!.
The shave I get is so much smoother, and the irritation is almost non existant. I do not need a balm anymore. I can just rinse off with cold water, throw on a little witch hazel, and I am good to go. I even noticed that my skin on my neck has cleared up, no bumps or pimples that used to form from shaving.
All this, and because of the inexpense of razor blades and shave soap vs. the cartridges and foam, I am saving probably over a $100 a year easily. This razor paid for itself in a just a few months, and now it is all profit!

My favourite D/E Razor todate
The extra one and a half centimetre longer handle makes all the difference to me. It feels so good and natural in my hand that I am free to concentrate on the rest of the shave. Read more

Great razor
Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he's over the moon with it. Says it's the best razor he's ever had. Great close shave, apparently.

Long Handle Just About Long Enough
I bought this to replace my ecologically and financially unsound need for disposable Bic Sensitive razors.
Much sharper than the Bic, even with the stock Merkur blade. Read more

Lovely razor
The Merkur 23C is a lovely razor. It has a long handle which I like, not because I have large hands but because I have been used to the Gillette Sensor Excel for many years. Read more
