The MERKUR 23C 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 black leather case packs and protects your razor when travelling or at home in the bathroom. The brush with the voluminous synthetic hair lets you whip the MERKUR shaving soap into a firm lather. It massages your face with the soap for a close and gentle shave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Merkur safety razors manufactured?
+
All Merkur safety razors are precision-engineered and manufactured in Solingen, Germany—often referred to as the 'City of Blades.' They are renowned globally for their traditional craftsmanship and superior metallurgical quality.
What is the difference between Merkur closed comb and open comb razors?
+
A closed comb razor, like the classic Merkur 34C, has a straight safety bar ideal for everyday shaving and sensitive skin. An open comb razor features teeth that channel thicker, longer hair directly to the blade, making it perfect for heavy beard growth.
Are Merkur razors heavy and durable?
+
Yes. Most Merkur razors feature a heavy brass core finished with premium chrome plating. This engineered weight allows the razor to do all the work, requiring zero pressure and reducing skin irritation during your daily shave.
