Thread: 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!

Thanks Jimmy. I did see that model and was a close call between it and the Muhle R89. Couldn't pass up the sweet sale price on the R89.

The Muhle R89 is a nice shaver (same as the Edwin Jagger DE89L etc...) I have a 3 EJ razors with that head and fro me its always great shave when I decide to use it.
Congrats on your purchase, I hope its a good shaver for you Happy Thanksgiving

I'm with Jimmy. Love the slant bar, and find it a mild shaver.

I'd keep the Merkur regardless.

The Edwin Jagger DE89 never fails to give a comfortable shave.
