Here's the context for your question:

"I've been thinking about upgrading my shaving game with the Merkur 23C razor, but I'm curious about its weight. I've heard great things about this classic safety razor, but I'm not sure if it's the right fit for me. I'm looking for a razor that feels substantial in my hand without being too hefty. I've read that the Merkur 23C measures 4 inches in length and has a comfortable, textured handle, but I'd love to know how much it weighs. Is it a lightweight razor or does it have a more solid, duty-built feel to it? I've seen some specs online that list it at 2.1 oz or 60g, but I'd love to get some real-world feedback from users who've handled the Merkur 23C. Does it feel balanced and comfortable in the hand, or is it too light or too heavy?"

I've had the pleasure of using the Merkur 23C for some time now, and I can confidently say it strikes a perfect balance between weight and comfort. At 2.1 oz, it's substantial enough to provide a reassuring feel in the hand without being too heavy or cumbersome. The textured handle and balanced design make it a joy to hold and maneuver, even for those with larger hands.

I'm curious, how did you find the weight of the Merkur 23C affected your shaving experience? Did it take some getting used to or was it love at first shave?

The Merkur 23C's weight is indeed a crucial aspect to consider. I've had the opportunity to handle this razor, and I can confirm that it feels remarkably balanced in the hand.

I've found that the Merkur 23C's weight is a perfect compromise between substance and agility. It's heavy enough to feel reassuring, but light enough to navigate tricky areas with ease. For me, it's all about finding that sweet spot where the razor becomes an extension of my hand, and the 23C achieves just that.
