The MERKUR 23 was originally developed in the 1920s. Its original design and reliable quality make it a timeless classic: the long handle and the knob with the diamond-shaped cross knurl provide a good grip even with wet, soapy fingers.The straight foam edge reliably ensures a smooth shave, especially for first-time shavers. After a good 100 years, the classic is now also available in stainless steel for long-lasting pleasure even in difficult environments.
