Is the Merkur 23C razor prone to corrosion or plating failure?

[EthanEco]

I appreciate the concern about corrosion, but I think it's essential to separate material quality from user care. While it's true that the Merkur 23C's materials may be susceptible to corrosion, I believe that proper maintenance and storage can significantly minimize the risk. Regular cleaning and drying, as some owners have mentioned, are crucial in preventing moisture buildup. However, I'd like to add that the PVD coating on the handle provides an additional layer of protection against corrosion. By combining good user habits with a well-designed product, I'm confident that the Merkur 23C can withstand the test of time.

I've had my Merkur 23C for a while now, and I can confidently say that proper care is key to preventing corrosion. While the materials used may be susceptible, regular cleaning and drying can significantly minimize the risk.

I appreciate the emphasis on proper care and maintenance to prevent corrosion. It's also worth noting that the Merkur 23C's PVD coated chrome handle provides an added layer of protection against corrosion, giving users an extra layer of security.
