MÜHLE R89 Traditional Double Edge Safety Razor – Closed Comb Mild Shaver for Men | Beginner-Friendly & Daily Use | Smooth Close Barbershop Shave

TLDR: excellent build quality, super smooth shave, beginner friendly. I think many can relate to the fact that at one point shaving becomes a boring mundane task that you can’t escape. I have been shaving everyday for over 18 years now. I have always used a 3 bladed or a 5 bladed modern day shaving razor. This is my first foray into old school safety razor and honestly I have started to enjoy my morning shaves again. The quality of the shave is extremely refreshing. No more razor bumps, no itchy patch. And I also think this is perfect for a beginner or someone who will jump ship from the modern day multi bladed razor. I always held back from buying myself a conventional safety razor because I was scared of cutting myself but boy was I missing out on this experience. I finally decided to go with the R89 and I am glad I made the right choice. Highly recommended.

Very happy with the razor's performance on my sensitive skin! I used Muhle blade included in the package. No razor burns/bumps at all! It glides smoothly over the face. Highly prefer this over Bombay Shaving Company razor.

Good quality

R89 is a Super Star among double edge shaving razors. Best Razor i have ever purchased. Best products from Turab Marketing Ltd..... , Mumbai. Best investment a man can make for himself. Best razor for Indian youth. Five star.

In India this is around 5000 INR, but in the long term you save a lot of money since the blades are very cheap.

It is really a good product which Amazon selling.

This is simply the fabulous. I've been using gillette cartridge-based razors all my life (since last 24 years) and this my first time with safety razors. After some basic research I zeroed in on the Muhle R89 and for all you guys confused on whether you should buy this or not - you can blindly go for it. I have had the smoothest gliding experience for the first time in my life and mind you, I've been shaving for more than 2 decades now. The blade I've used is the MÜHLE Fine Double Edge - and it's a match made in haven.

Purchased this item after a lot of research. Gives you a very close shave without any nicks and cuts. Looks amazing! I am using this with Feather blades and am really really happy with the investment. German engineering which is reliable and top quality :)

Un plaisir de se raser. Rapide et efficace.

Det här är en riktigt bra säkerhetshyvel för att lära sig att raka sig på det här sättet, och blir sen ett säkert alternativ att falla tillbaka på när man har bråttom. Förutom den här säkerhetshyveln är det bra om man investerar i en rakborste, rakblad, raktvål/kräm (behöver bättre glid än raklöddret på burk), alun-sten och aftershave balm. Kolla gärna på youtube. Det finns billiga alternativ. Kvalitén är väldigt bra, ingen rost eller dylikt även fast jag låter bladet sitta i tills det är slött, då rengör jag hyveln och byter blad. Jag har använt min R89 flitigt i ett och ett halvt år nu. Den går dock inte alls bra att raka huvudet med, om någon undrar. Bladet är för skyddat för att den ska fungera på huvudet, där kan jag rekommendera t.ex. Mühle Companion istället. Högsta betyg på den här hyveln, jag kan verkligen rekommendera den. Jag gillar grejer som håller.

When I got this, I thought it was just for a better, nicer looking razor to have a nice set. Pleased to say it definitely helps round the all good experience and improved shave and I get the idea of the razor head weight. For beginners like me looking to convert: I used to dread shaving as got thick'ish beard and sensitive skin and after looking into DE (double edge) shaving with its acclaims and thought it was worth a go. So having just converted to DE, I like it a lot! Its actually a good experience shaving now! Wanting to ditch the Gillette fusion, I started with a supermarket bought cheap Wilkinson's razor and brush(which I already had). My first time (still using Gillette's gel) I looked like a 'victim'. Second time I used a Palmolive soap stick and it was a far better experience and shave. I used the soap stick straight on face and brushed on to create lather but the lather can equally be done on a bow, just happens at the time I didn't have one. Still the result was so good that using a stick, I'd probably still put it on face straight. The soap stick at < £1 at Tesco of Lloyds pharmacy thrashes the gel no end (and will last and last) and see why people refer to gels as gunk! Really is. As I liked it I upgraded the whole set thinking i'd improve the shave somewhat. Got Taylor of old bond (TOBS) shaving cream (£10), TOBS after balm (£12), a stand with bowl (£24), 100 derby (£9) + also subsequently got 100 astra blades (£10) (rated better but I can't confirm yet), a TOBS pure badger brush (20) and this new razor (£25) after quite a bit of research. The lathering is now a nice experience. And what an upgrade its been. I also got an alum block (for 2 on the big auction site for £5 delivered) and any little nicks disappear - applied with moist face, run block under water and rub on face as you would with a soap all over and wash off after a minute. Magic, no blood, nothing and its great knowing its an antiseptic too! You get a tingle as feedback where most damage has been done. If you want to talk about it as an investment, price-wise, yes it was quite an initial investment to convert to DE and have a decent kit. On return I got good tools that will be of service for years and enough blades for 2 years (per 100 blades at the rate of 1 blade a week). So on the long run it will pay for itself over the next 3 years and then it will be major savings from then on. Now, the shave I get.. well that is so superior. UPDATE(30 May 2015) Still 100% DE, over the past 2 years. Still behind it 100%. It was a great choice. And this razor also a great option and is still going strong.

This is a good razor if you (like me) prefer mild razors. I would say very similar to an Edwin Jagger de89 only less blade feel. To me almost identical to a Merkur 34 but I always thought my Merkur was more mlld than normal. So if you have the Jagger and Merkur and want to be thrifty this wouldn't be a must have purchase. But then you wouldn't have the Muhle. Seriously it is mild but efficient. If you're in a hurry and slap it on your face it will cut you. My final verdict is it's worthy of 5 stars.

Ma meilleure experience de rasage so far Au debut la petite taille du manche invite a la precaution, mais au final il s’avère très maniable L’acier parfaitement usiné glisse sur la peau On est très vite a l’aise avec et cette impression de sécurité se confirme au rasage avec des risques des coupure quasi nuls J’ai acheté un blaireau et un stand de cette marque Très satisfait de la qualité je dirai c’est le haut de gamme du rasage de sécurité
