The traditional safety razor with replaceable blade is regarded by many as the first mechanical razor for self-shaving. At MÜHLE it is more: a minor miracle of precision, ergonomics and beauty, created for ambitious wet shavers. Muhle's design combines high-quality metal-working (chrome-plating) with an extremely fine engraved finish. Weight: 58g Length: 95mm approx PRESS COVERAGE SHAVING101.COM - MIKE SANDOVAL, USA: 21 APRIL 2010 "The head of the Mühle razor is the part I found to be the most impressive. The two-piece cutting head is precision made and fits together perfectly insuring that the blade is centered correctly when secured in the razor. The chrome plating work on the top and bottom of the head is absolutely flawless, and there are no visible signs of unevenness around the edges. The blade exposure on the R89 provides a very comfortable shave. The razor is not aggressive at all and would be very useful for men who may have issues with skin sensitivity and need a gentler shave. Some shavers have compared the cutting action of the R89 to that of the vintage Gillette Super Speed razors, which are well known for being less aggressive. I find the cutting action of this razor combined with Feather blades provides a close and comfortable shave every time with zero irritation."

Customer Reviews

Average Customer Rating   Based on 15 votes Customer Reviews Author: John Blades I like the simplicity of this razor; just three well-made parts which hold the fourth (the blade) very nicely. The handle has good length, diameter and texture, allowing easy control. Since there are only three parts I'm sure this razor will be easy to maintain. Oh...and it works, of course! (-: Author: Goran Design of this razor suites my taste well: simple and classic 3 piece DE razor, a fusion of Art Deco design with modern crafting technologies and superb materials - finish is just flawless... real piece of art. Slightly top heavy, but in overall well balanced and gives solid feel in hand. The grip is not so prominent as those on e.g. Merkurs razers, but certainly offers an appropriate holding ability in wet conditions (handle pattern is not here just for decoration, it is pretty functional). Very user friendly, refine, non agresive razor, that gives a great shave, and by all means is worth every penny... btw. delivery was very fast. Author: Matthew Broadbent My first DE razor. Wow! A razor which allows for control and accuracy. Feels well in the hand and looks good as well. Simple yet effective. Functional yet stylish. Well recommended. Thanks Shaving Shack! Author: Steve George Bought this as I wanted something less aggresive than the 38c. It sure fits the bill. Very light, well balanced and easy to hold. Now I have quite sensitive skin but coupled with a feather this razor glides across my face. Very forgiving razor and an excellent first choice for anyone new to de shaving especially if like me you have sensitive skin. Author: Alexander Persson I bought this instead of the Merkur 38c as first razor. I find it very gentle and smooth at the skin. The build quality is perfect and it is very easy to maintain. The only problem now is that I want to shave myself all the time. Author: Neville Filar Like so many here I have begun shaving with a DE razor, after a lifetime of cartridges, and this is one of the two I started out with. It is superb in every way. After viewing classic Mantic 59 videos on Youtube, and a dodgy first shave, evrything has been increasingly smooth sailing. This razor looks great, feels great, and by golly shaves you great.. As with all the most important activities in life you have to get the angle right ( of the blade to face, in this case) and with Bluebeard or proraso, hot towels, and proper prep, my brand new Proglide is redundant. Ousted by a Timor and this fantastic razor Author: Ole Færø This is my 2nd DE razor, my first one being a Parker 22R. I find the quality on this one alot better, the finish is outstanding. The 22R was a little too aggressive, but this one is perfect! It's also very forgiving compared to the 22R, and I think it would be an excellent choice for a beginner. Think I have used the 22R less than a handful times just to compare after I got this one. This one is now my daily razor, and has been so for months. Couldn't be more happy with it! Author: Peter Edwards I decided to switch to shaving with a DE razor when my wife bought me the Vulfix Scilian Lime shave cream from Shave Shack this Christmas. I started with the Wilkinson Sword Classic and whilst that (after the traditional novice nicks and scrapes) was an improvement on any cartridge razor I soon decided to upgrade. Intensive research eventually gave me a short list from which I chose the Muhle R89. The quality is outstanding and it feels like a much more expensive piece of kit. The plating is flawless and the design attractive. The razor, even in my inexperienced hands, feels nicely balanced and has given me a smoother and more comfortable shave than I thought possible.
