I've been pondering the same question, and I think the Merkur 23C's mild nature is what makes it suitable for both face and body shaving. The closed comb head provides excellent control, and the textured handle ensures a firm grip, even on thicker hair.

I transitioned to shaving powders and found them effective, but they can cause skin irritation. It's crucial to do a patch test first and follow the instructions carefully for minimal risk.

What is the Merkur 38C made of?

I'm considering purchasing the Merkur 38C, a double-edge safety razor that's been getting rave reviews, but I'm curious about the materials used in its construction. Specifically, I'd like to know what the Merkur 38C is made of - is it stainless steel, a recyclable alloy, or something else entirely?...
