I'm not really sure which razors you are trying to compare as Merkur makes many cross knurled handles and your link is that of a 23c which is one of their many knurled handles. Maybe post a link to the razor you are referring to as "Cross knurl from merkur" and we could decide.
The link i sent put in the above post...it's $55 bucks. Just wanna see where I can possibly get that razor cheaper. I know it's long handle. and loved how it fit in my hand vs. My 34c
Sorry created this post late....this model is the exact one i want to buy..is this the 180? http://www.theartofshaving.com/on/d...rs&srccode=cii_5784816&cpncode=34-236676326-2
I believe the 23C and the 180 long pole are the same razor. .....I have the 180 it was my first DE and I loved it.
Many times the same razor is sold under a different designation or number/name. so you need to check around at the different sites and email them and ASK ALOT of questions to make sure your getting what you want. Some places to check out would be shaveabuck, maggard razors and ebay to compare prices as well as match products to names.
I am almost certain that they are the same razor as I have seen it advertised as the Merkur 23c/180 on many sites.
