TRADITIONAL R89 Double Edge Safety Razor (Closed Comb) | Perfect for Everyday Use | Barbershop Quality Close Smooth Shave | Luxury Razor for Men

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.

This is a great razor. I was originally looking at straight blades, but it turns out that those are very involved for maintaining. I looked into safety razors and this model came up as solid and highly recommended. I also looked into instructions to make sure I didn't cut myself. I shave my face and my head and I have had zero cuts the first week. The shave is very good, replacing the blades is way less expensive, and I am no longer using or throwing away plastic junk razors.

This was a gift for my son. He loves it, said cleanest, smoothest shave ever. I had started using this type of razor earlier this year, was blown away by how good it is. I instantly regretted the decades of money wasted using the more modern multi-blade cartridge razors which in my opinion don’t perform nearly as well and often get clogged up with whiskers and shave gel. This traditional single blade wet razor is easy to use, great shave, simple to clean with no fuss. Replacement blades are cheap.

Good weight, clean shave. Used by both my husband and I. The handle is too short

If you're looking for a high quality razor you can use every single day, look no further. Due to work status, I can't skip a day, and use my Mühle R41 any longer. I tried using my Merkur Futur adjustable, but that monster just could not be dialed down to be mild enough for an every day shaver. I broke out my Merkur 34C 'Sledgehammer", and it worked fairly well, but I thought it could be better. Enter the Mühle R89, and the game changed. Pair this baby with anything from a Bic or Wilkinson Sword (German made), down to the more mild end of the sharpness spectrum, and it will perform. As long as you have a decent technique, this is a FUN razor. I say decent technique, as in my opinion a novice can still damage themselves if they lack the foundations of grain mapping, angle, pressure, and soap selection. In the hands of an experienced shaver, go ahead and break out those blades you bought years ago, and hated... give them another shot in this razor, and see what happens. In my case, I have a love/hate relationship with Feather: they are next up on the "give them another go" list! Want a quality three-piece mild, yet effective razor? The Mühle should be on your radar!

I’ve been shaving my heavy, coarse facial hair for 45 years. I’ve had tried safety razors before but remember my father using them in the ’70s. I’ve done five shaves with the same Feather blade on this Muhle razor, and I haven’t gotten a single cut. You can do two passes or repeat in small strokes. I usually shave half my face with one side of the blade and the other half with the other side. I’m also using a solid Muhle shaving soap and a $10 brush from Amazon. I wish the handle was a bit longer, but this razor will still serve well as my travel razor. I plan to get the longer version for home use. I can’t believe I waited this long or that I was so afraid. At first, I was even hesitant to pick up the blade head, but I noticed the cutting edge is not exposed, making it safe to handle. I also bought a straight razor and ended up cutting myself on the third try as I gained confidence faster than I gained skill. That type of razor requires very careful attention. If the open comb version of the Muhle is anything like a straight razor, even with my thick beard, it’s unnecessary. The closed comb is safe and easy to use. This razor will now be my go-to gift for birthdays and holidays for all my friends.

Cool.I love it

Doesn’t seem to cut close. I returned it.

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.

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

Scrivo una recensione di questo splendido prodotto, dopo quasi 8 anni dal suo acquisto. Posso solamente elogiare tale prodotto, che in realtà prima di acquistare, avevo ricercato, e confermo pienamente tutte le recensioni positive che ho trovato. Si tratta di un prodotto perfetto per poter fare un'ottima rasatura. Il suo peso e qualità fanno si che il suo stesso peso unito a una buona lama, io uso ancora le Astra Verdi acquistate unitamente a quest' ordine, permettono una rasatura perfetta e quasi sempre senza tagli o irritazioni. Eseguo sempre tre passate con il pennello e la ciotola, da verticale in su, poi in giù e obliquo, e tagliano perfettamente. Ho visto che in tanti anni il prezzo è rimasto quasi invariato e ciò mi ha fatto piacere, e la considerazione di aver fatto un ottimo acquisto e risparmiato. Ho un rasoio che è intatto e come nuovo e ancora le lame prese in origine, senza aver più comprato rasoi usa e getta, con un notevole risparmio economico se si tiene conto di tutti i fattori, ma soprattutto per l'ottimo lavoro svolto da questo splendido prodotto
