| 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 all-metal double-edge razor offers an economical baseline for moving away from cartridge systems. Its mild closed-comb geometry and handle weight define a forgiving, low-aggression cut. Buyers should expect to experiment with blade brands to find the right balance of sharpness for their hair density. |
