Mühle R89 Safety Razor (Chrome)

Mühle R89 Safety Razor (Chrome)

Used to use a safety razor years ago until the supermarkets stopped stocking proper blades in favour of stocking the 3000 latest fads in cartridge razors.
This razor gives a vastly superior shave to those "look-it's-got-twenty-three-blades-and-six-chemically-infused-strips-and-it's-a-pretty-colour" trendy monstrosities.
For a start, there's the weight - not heavy, but you can feel it in your hand and the weight of the razor against your skin is sufficient to position the blade to cut the hair.
It's less wasteful of resources - doesn't contribute to the mountain of plastic waste created every year - and it doesn't contaminate the skin with dozens of chemicals that cause rashes and allergic reactions.
The quality of build is superb - it's a precision tool rather than a cheaply-made-yet-expensively-priced piece of cast plastic.

Very nice shaving product and service. Very happy.

Purchased to try a safety razor. It’s fantastic, close shave, easy to use and seems great quality

I recently ordered some shaving gear through Fine Shave. Firstly, the customer service was excellent and items dispatched and received incredibly quickly. The products work exactly as expected and I'm very happy with the purchase. Would recommend.

Extremely well made, very user friendly. Perhaps my old razor handle was too aggressive... it cut you if you looked at it wrong. The R89 is the complete opposite, you would have to actively try and get it to cut you, very new-to-safety-razor friendly.

Great razor for greenhorns looking to learn the art of using a single blade razor, very forgiving and hard to cut the mug to pieces and super quick delivery

So far so good with my first safety razor. Still learning the ins and outs, but it's doing a good job and delivery was very prompt.

Awesome quality with a nice weight to it. Great for the first time safety shaver offering a mild shave with low chance of nicks and cuts. Used with Astra blades.

Bought this as I’d heard that Safety Razors give better shaves and caused less irritation. Did a bit of research and decided this was the best quality for a beginner like me.

The product is as good as described and reviewed online. Excellent quality, feels robust and durable, assembles and disassembles easily and tightly. The design is great and the short handle feels comfortable.

First shave with it was great, no irritation or cuts. Was a little anxious about inserting and using the blades. But was easy to use and have a great shave that will only get better with practice.

Would also recommend Fine Shave, great products they’re clearly passionate about. Quick delivery and excellent communication. Will be getting all my stuff from them
