According to Pearl Shaving's specs, the Flexi's handle is made of 100% brass and coated, not an eco-friendly alloy like bronze or copper, nor a premium material like ebony or anodized aluminum.

I've found that the Merkur 23C's handle comfort is exceptional, especially for those with larger hands.

Here's a reply that cuts through the confusion: "OP, I think I can help clarify things for you. Forget about the degrees and angles for a moment. Instead, focus on the sensation of the blade gliding across your skin. Hold the Oneblade Genesis with a light grip, and let the pivoting head do the work....
