The original design and the black PVD material surface make the Merkur 23B a timeless classic: The long handle and the knob with the cross knurling in diamond shape provide a good grip even with wet, soapy fingers. The straight foam edge of the tried-and-true razor head, which has been around for 100 years, ensures a smooth shave reliably. With the long handle, shaving flows effortlessly, and the closed comb is an all-rounder for classic wet shaving, suitable for both beard and body. The generous blade gap allows soap and hair to drain well, keeping the blade hygienically clean and free.
