23B Long Handle Double Edge Safety Razor
About
A three-piece safety razor built for people who treat their morning shave as a ritual rather than a chore. The MERKUR 23B is a long handle double edge razor finished in a deep black PVD coating, machined in Solingen, Germany, where MERKUR has been making blades since 1896.
Pick it up and the first thing you notice is the weight sitting low in the handle, right around 61 grams, which gives you real control without any wrist fatigue. That extended handle is the star here, offering plenty of grip for larger hands and an easy reach around the jaw and neck. The straight cut head keeps the blade exposure gentle, so it reads as forgiving for anyone moving over from cartridge razors while still delivering that famously close wet shave.
The matte black finish resists fingerprints and shrugs off water spots, and the three-piece build means it comes apart in seconds for cleaning and blade swaps. Load your favorite double edge blade, take your time, and this becomes the kind of everyday tool you actually look forward to using.
