Thread: Broke my R89 Head... now what?

If you ever use it, definitely fix it. Wouldn't risk any head I wasn't sure would fit. Too bad though! First I've heard of a three piece breaking. Not too familiar with the brand, but the only 3 piece I have is my Merkur.

It's worthless to someone else right now so it won't fetch much unless someone needs the set and doesn't care about the razor.

Repair? I'm not sure with that metal a normal repair would work. I doubt you could weld it, maybe crazy glue?

Muhle is definitely a pretty major brand in the DE world. The R89 head made by them is actually the one used in all the Edwin Jagger razors. I might be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that while Merkur and Dovo are part of the same company, so too are Muhle and Boker.

Yes, I definitely mis-spoke here. It wouldn't make any sense to somehow re-attach the broken threats back to the cap; by repair I meant repair the set by replacing the top cap.
