Two days after first DE, already ordered second one
After receiving my first DE razor (Merkur 33c) and handling it a bit (not actually shaving) I was a little concerned about the short handle having become accustomed to a much longer custom Task II handle. Well the Black Friday deals sucked me in and I ordered a Muhle R89 at 30% off and will likely end up sending the Merkur back. The Muhle R89, while not a "long handle" or "heavyweight" model according to specs is .5" longer and .4 ounces heavier than the Merkur 33c. Who knows, I could end up keeping them both but for $36 I couldn't pass up the Muhle since that was one of the 3-4 models I was initially considering. Hoping the extra bit of length makes the difference in feel.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
