The Merkur 23001 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 of the razor head, which has been tried and tested for 100 years, reliably ensures a smooth shave, while the long handle makes shaving a breeze and the closed comb is an all-rounder for classic wet shaving, for beard and body. The generous blade gap allows soap and Harare to drain away easily so that the blade remains hygienically clean and free.
