I'm considering purchasing the Merkur 23C, a razors I've heard great things about, and I'm trying to get a better sense of its specs. Specifically, I'm curious about the handle length - I've got larger hands and I'm wondering if this razor will fit comfortably. According to the product description, the Merkur 23C weighs approximately 2.1 oz (60 g), which is relatively lightweight, and the overall length is around 4.17 inches (10.6 cm). However, I can't seem to find a specific measurement for the handle length itself. Can anyone who's familiar with this razor confirm the handle length for me? Is it approximately 4 inches (10.16 cm) as I've seen mentioned elsewhere, or is it slightly longer or shorter? Any help would be appreciated!

You're on the right track! I've got larger hands too, and I can confidently say the Merkur 23C is a great fit. The 4-inch handle provides amazing control and comfort. You'll love it!

I completely understand your concern about the handle length, and I'm glad you're doing your research! I've had the pleasure of using the Merkur 23C, and I can attest that the 4-inch handle is indeed a great fit, even for larger hands.

I'm glad to see the OP's diligence in researching the Merkur 23C. It's great that you're considering the handle length, as it's a crucial aspect of a comfortable shaving experience. While others have confirmed the 4-inch handle length, I'd like to add that it's not just about the length, but also the ergonomics and weight distribution of the razor. The Merkur 23C's design provides a solid grip and balance, making it suitable for larger hands.

The discussion on handle length has been quite thorough! To further clarify, the textured handle of the Merkur 23C indeed measures 4 inches, providing a comfortable grip for larger hands.

As we ponder the length of the Merkur 23C's handle, let us not forget that true comfort lies not in the measurement, but in the harmony between the razor and the hand that wields it.

How do you find the Merkur 23C's balance compares to other razors you've tried, especially with larger hands?
