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

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.

I prefer mild razors and this one fits that description to a T. I have used this razor about three times so far for face shaving and the blades I used were the Feather and Permashave. The results were a very close, smooth shave with no nicks or cuts. This is a mild razor comparable to a Henson Medium, you get a close shave that is efficient as well. I was able to complete my shave in one and a half passes - the half pass along my jawline and neck. The handle is of the perfect length and cleanup was a breeze. If you are looking for a mild inexpensive razor (albeit made of zinc alloy), then look no further - this is the one.

Very good, very smooth, nice weight and a nice length to the handle. Not the closest shave even when paired with feathers. Great as a daily but I'll use something else I have a serious occasion.

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 am an old man with grey stubs that are very difficult to cut. This is the perfect razor! I leaves my face as smooth as a baby's behind!!!!

This is such an incredibly smooth shaver! I use this to shave my head, and it leaves my scalp very BBS! In my opinion, this is the perfect safety razor. It gives you everything you need, while also allowing you to be 100% comfortable while using it. You have zero fear using the Muhle R89, since it’s mild and you can be very nimble with it. Also, if you want to get more aggressive, you can always buy the Muhle R41 head, for only $25! Just like that, you have BOTH the Mild R89, and the Aggressive R41 in your hands!! or you can try different aggressive, razor blades as well, It’s incredibly important to try different blade combinations with ANY safety razor. Words CANNOT describe how important a razor blade is to ANY safety razor. If you pair the R89 with a very sharp razor blade, such as a Feather or a BIC Chrome Platinum, you’ll have my personal favorite combination. Which is a mild razor, with an aggressive/sharp razor blade, while staying a smooth shaver. I hope this review helps everyone. Happy shaving!

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.

Sono passato da poco dal multilama alla rasatura tradizionale con rasoio a singole lamette e questo mi è stato consigliato in un forum di professionisti della rasatura. La costruzione è davvero notevole. E' composto da tre pezzi, dal peso corretto, ben rifiniti e molto ben bilanciati. Il rasoio monta le lame con una inclinazione molto protettiva e non sono riuscito a tagliarmi nemmeno al primo utilizzo! Visto i ricordi terribili che ho della mia adolescenza direi che ci siamo, prodotto perfetto! Basta appoggiare il rasoio al viso, trovare la giusta angolazione affinchè inizi a radere e lasciar fare tutto al peso del rasoio! La spedizione è arrivata nei tempi previsti e ottimamente imballata. Il costo è assolutamente proporzionale alla qualità. CONSIDERAZIONI DOPO 10 MESI DI UTILIZZO: Posso solo confermare quanto detto precedentemente. Nel frattempo ho avuto modo di provare altri rasoi e credo che, tra i DE, si possa tranquillamente iniziare e finire con questo Muhle. Rasoio splendido che non tradisce mai e delicatissimo sulla pelle, manifattura tedesca, facilmente reperibile e dal costo contenutissimo. Le uniche differenze nell'esperienza d'uso le fanno la tecnica (che arriva solo con l'espeerienza) e le lamette, che possono dare un feeling completamente diverso a seconda della pelle del viso.

Absolutely brilliant double edged razor. If you were wondering whether to change from cartridge razors to a double edged, then this is the one for you. Perfect for both beginners and experts, this gives a close comfortable shave. The razor is very well manufactured, with a good finish and well balanced. It is perfect in terms of closeness - not too aggressive and yet close enough, and importantly very comfortable. I've tried a few double edged razors, but this is my go-to razor most days. Some aggressive ones are fine with a few days growth, but this is perfect for daily use. There are many benefits of double edged razors over cartridges. They are much cheaper in the long run. They are also better for the skin as the way cartridge razors work is that they grab the hair with one blade which lifts it, and then the next blade cuts it below the surface of the skin - this means the hair has to push up through the skin when growing, which gives rise to irritation and/or spots. Double edged razors cut the top off, and leaves the skin in much better shape. Also, typically you do a maximum of 3 passes, as opposed to a cartridge with 5 blades which is effectively doing 5 passes, if not more. I mean seriously - 5 blades! Why stop there; why not 6 or 7 or more? Getting silly, and double edged razors were good enough for your ancestors, and importantly they work very well. Yes, there is a learning curve, but get on YouTube and watch a couple of the popular videos, and you will be shaving like a pro in a week. It also becomes a pleasurable experience and a great zen way to start the day. Go the whole experience and get yourself a shaving brush and some decent shaving soap. The aficionados will talk about badger or boar brushes, but it doesn't matter too much and I use a synthetic brush, which is easier to take of and lasts practically forever (make sure to rinse properly as leaving soap on it shortens the life). Shaving soaps - go for a soft cream with a nice fragrance (pick a popular one on Amazon), and you can't go too wrong. Again, much better for your skin than the aerosols/cans. Round it off with an alum block. Then you're all set and it will all last you a long time for a small upfront investment. And importantly, you will enjoy the shaving experience and your skin will thank you for it.
