Finished in a gorgeous satin matte, this apparatus is highly resistant to corrosion, chipping, and wear. It is quite literally built to last a lifetime and be passed down to the next generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this razor good for beginners?
Absolutely. The closed-comb design is incredibly forgiving, making it perfect for both complete beginners and seasoned wet shavers. Furthermore, the generous blade gap allows thick lather and cut hair to rinse away effortlessly, keeping the blade hygienic and preventing clogs.
Why choose the long handle?
The 106mm slim handle provides an extended reach that feels very familiar to anyone transitioning away from modern plastic cartridge razors. Additionally, the deeply engraved diamond-patterned cross knurling ensures you maintain a secure, slip-free grip even with wet, soapy hands in the shower.
What is the difference between this and the standard Merkur 23C?
The traditional 23C is made of die-casted zinc and brass with a chrome plating. The 23 INOX is a significant premium upgrade, machined entirely from solid stainless steel alloys. This makes the INOX heavier, virtually indestructible, and completely immune to chrome peeling or plating degradation over time.
