| Our verdict | A long-standing reference model, the 23C uses a knurled brass core handle to achieve a neutral balance point. The straight-bar closed comb keeps the blade gap restrained, making it forgiving on sensitive skin while requiring multiple passes on heavy growth. The three-piece assembly is straightforward to clean and allows future handle swaps if balance preferences shift. | This folding shavette provides straight-edge ergonomics without the need for stropping or whetstone sharpening. Because handle weight and pivot tension define control, users must practice light pressure to avoid nicks from the exposed corners. Inspect blade retention clasps closely to ensure halves seat flush and secure. |
