Customer reviews
“This is my first safety razor. I tried the Merkur blade that came with it and was so impressed at how mild yet effective the razor was. I was very nervous the first time. No nicks but the closest, smoothest shave ever in over 30 years of shaving.” - Faust D.
“This razor is my first, and still only DE. After a full year of use, I've been satisfied enough not to bother putting out for an additional razor. It's easy to load, has a great feel in the hand, and is easy to hold securely. The handle is not real long, but is fine in my large hands. I especially like the thickness of the handle and the weight of this instrument.” - Eric.
“I have been absolutely amazed, astonished, and impressed by the fantastic shave I experienced with my new Merkur HD Chrome Plated 34C Razor and the Merkur blade. I'm a 75-year-old gent with the soft, sagging skin that comes with age and had used a Gillette double blade razor for more years than I can remember. Not only did the Merkur glide smoothly over my skin but it gave me the closest shave imaginable, without any nicks or cuts. It's in a league all by itself - incomparably better than my old Gillette. In addition to its effectiveness, it is a work of precision, mechanical art, and has a nice heft and grip. I recommend it without any reservations.” - Grover W.

“Got the Muhle R89 for Christmas from my wife, on my request. I've got several other brands of razors, but "wanted" the Cadillac!!! Royal shipped it w/5 Kai blades and I haven't looked back since. I usually did a 3-pass shave, but with the Muhle and Kai, I'm down to 2 passes. WTG and ATG. Done. Closer than all the other razor and blades combined.” - Mike H.
“Let me preface by saying that I am a 1 razor guy (1 DE + 1 Str8). I've tried some of the high-end razors and they don't shave better than this Muhle. Sure you're paying for luxury with those, but the shave itself is not actually any better. I'm not a wasteful person and I feel that this razor is the best bang for your buck out there. I recommend it both to the novice and veteran alike.” - J Dogg

“This is a pretty amazing razor at a very economical price. Fantastic option for new DE shavers who want a superior razor but don't want to spend a lot upfront. Very impressive build quality and materials. Weight is just right. And the longer handle is a great choice for those transitioning from cartridge and disposables. It will feel very familiar. At this price, you can't go wrong. Actually, you'll be pretty amazed at how much razor you get for just $32.” - Kenstee
“This was not my first safety razor. It is moderate to mildly aggressive. It is immaculately plated and beautiful. It delivers BBS when paired with the right blade. It is in my rotation and I purchased one for my son as well. Must be pretty good if I bought two of them.” - Larry
“Out of the box the chrome finish of the Edwin Jagger DE89L was amazing. The finish was polished to a crisp sparkle. There is a good heft to the overall razor and the balance is consistent throughout. Some people may prefer a lighter handle so that the shave head is heavier, but these are just personal preferences. Some have mentioned that there is not enough grip with the lined handle but I have not had any issues even when my hands were wet. Using Derby Extra razor blades and Col. Conk Shave soap, I could get a super smooth, irritation free shave with 2 passes (with the grain, against the grain). Summary: A great razor with an outstanding build quality with an almost flawless chrome finish. Shaves a little bit less aggressive than the Merkur 34c. Unbeatable price when compared to the Muhle 89R which uses the same razor head.” - Eric

“Once you put the first blade in you will notice the quality of workmanship. The blade is tight and the weight is very well balanced. I use with Feather blades and get a close comfortable shave. My HD will be collecting dust.” - Joshua K.
“I knew I had to have one of these as soon as I saw it! Just such a lot of money for a safety razor... Anyhow, I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. The manufacturing quality is splendid, and the weight, feel and balance are all first class. This new Feather is a mild but effective shaver. Even used with the legendary "Ninja" sharp Feather blades, it is difficult to make a mistake. A very smooth performer. Compared to most of the fixed-head razors in the Merkur range, the Feather might be considered a little less aggressive, but it does the job surprisingly well - one almost doesn't feel it cutting, but the whiskers are disappearing all right! I'm delighted with my purchase, and look forward to having a grandson to whom I might pass it on. It will certainly last more than one lifetime." - Tom H.

“At first I didn't like this because I felt the head was to bulky. I have used this for a couple of weeks and love it. Shaves really close with feather blade no irritation. I can get closer to my nose with Futur than with my Merkur 34C. The balance and feel is the best. Only EJ DE89 comes close in quality of shave. I also don't need as much prep with Futur. Great razor!” - Jack K.
