I Need More Substance From My Merkur 23C Handle!
Hey Guys,
I’ve been using my Merkur 23C for about a week now and I do so very much like the way it works, but I think I would prefer a bit more "substance" from the handle. I'm letting the head do the work, but the handle seems a bit thin and I would like a larger diameter without loosing the length. (Insert Michael Scott's "That's what she said!" comment here...)
I chose the 23C because of its longer handle, but I think I would like the extra “meat” of a handle the same diameter as the 34C in the same length as the 23C. Does anyone else have a similar problem? If so can someone tell me if Merkur (or an aftermarket manufacturer) has such a handle and how I could procure one? Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanked: 5Maybe the iKon solid stainless steel handle? You'll have to check the thread size but it supposedly fits Muhle and some other vintage heads.

Thanked: 11Yep, I made the same mistake back in the day (notice my username). Switch to a Edwin Jagger DE89L you'll never look back.

Problem solved! I bought a "Pre-loved" 38C from member Chevyguy! Can't wait for it to get here!
