Hi Geo, very nice video like everytime. 😀 I am using the Mühle R89 myself. I am German, so just a very minor comment: the tagline "Mühle - Rasurkultur" does not translate into English "razor culture". To be precise it is "Mühle - shaving culture". Razor is a false friend. 😉 Best regards from Cologne, Germany. BTW I like all of your 460+ shaving videos! Keep going Geo!

Been a wet shaver all my life, but I learned so much from this video. Started at 17 with a badger brush, safety razor and Wilkinson Sword blades (I'm in the UK). About to go back to old skool shaving, it looks so much fun. Great presentation, just the facts, no gimmicks, no ego. I can't wait to enjoy shaving again. Subscribed.

Thank you, geo. You guys provide a quick delivery service. Love the R89 I got from you guys as it’s harmless towards my sensitive skin. Started becoming a collector & polishing ‘em all with the Flitz. 👍 I still need to experiment with sharper blades. The Astra gave me a closer shave with the R89 than the Derby.

I purchased this as my starter DE razor, it was great for a beginner. Also, once I got a little more experience, switching to a feather blade helped make it a touch more aggressive. One year down the line, I'm looking possibly at a feather artist club; however, to pirate someone else line, I'm not too keen on looking like Deadpool.

I've used this for the past .. let me check .. 4 years now. It's maybe a tad too mild for me these days, I got it as a beginners kit :) Still does a good job, but you have to move it over your face many more times compared to a Muhle R41 for instance.

Tried the cheap Vanderhagen from Walmart, didn't like it so I spent some real cash and bought the Rockwell T2 (Voted 2022 Razor of the Year) and haven't regretted it one bit. Perfect shave from it every time so I see no need to buy anything else.

Tomorrow my R41 will arrive and I'm just a beginner 😮 Just too curious about it 😳 3 passes are a bit too much for me so I will test out which result I can get with one pass. Maybe one pass with an aggressive razor is beter for the skin than 3 passes with a mild razor... I like shaving more when I have a good amount of stubble so I'm not the type for daily shaves.
@DanielMazahreh2 жыл бұрын
I would be very careful about doing 3 passes on the R41. If you have sensitive skin, you may develop razor burns. R41 is usually designed for advanced shavers. I would try using a mild like the R89 or the 34C, which imo provides a closer shave. But if you wish to try R41, stick to just 1 pass & put no pressure on your skin. Shave slowly and gently.

I find it difficult to go against the grain on the chin. Everyone's face is different, especially the chin. It's just more prone to nicks and irritation because of the curves.
