Pretty sure it is a Muhle R89 because it even has the #4 stamped on the top cap just like the Muhle.

[@profesam8457]

You are right. Muhle makes the heads for Gillette’s Heritage inspired razor.

[@ElementalHeroJoe]

Mantic59 confirmed with Gillette that the head was made by Muhle. It's their 89 model

[@vincentedgeworks]

Finally someone has done the shave comparison we have all been waiting for!! I started DE shaving in December so the heritage is my first exposure to this head. For that reason, it will be the one I stick with until I get enough experience to move to a more aggressive setup. I did however, just purchase an Ikon Bulldog handle to replace the stock one because I am a larger guy and it has felt a little dainty in my hands. Thanks for the great video!

[@ringingsteel8729]

Pretty sure it’s the exact same head. That said I am pretty fond of the texturing on the handle on the Heritage. Minor difference though. Hopefully this is successful, so they make a TTO.

[@bourbon646]

And that will be a weishi razor. Or parker TTO

[@bourbon646]

The only razor I can see them bringing back is a Gillette tech if they go with their older design. Or a Gillette Knack. But I think that Gillette would go more with made in China. Chinese tech or Chinese TTO.

Good for beginners, but not only beginners razors. Nice point well made!

[@randallhayhurst6491]

The Heritage is a keeper for me! Thanks for the video!

[@viningscircle]

I can make my own "Heritage", using the vintage New handle and the DE89 head. Voila!

[@jareddaniel5508]

Dude you are a MANS MAN!! How in the hell do you not have razor burn!!!!? Good video btw!

[@IAMCDB]

Haha, I have no idea but I haven't had razor burn in 10 years:)

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

After many years, I have discovered with help that the EJ 89 with a game-changer handle and a Feather blade is one of the best shaves.

[@IAMCDB]

Nice, I imagine that could work well.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

What were you shaving?

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

I do hope they come out with their own stuff again. I myself and some friends have personally emailed P&G to ask them if they would make their own stuff again. I guess after so much pressure from the shave market etc they did something.

[@IAMCDB]

I’d like to see it as well.

[@germanshepherd13]

Will never happen. would have to start from scratch with the tool and design and equipment to even make them. and if we wanted them made in the USA with brass will be a 300 dollar razor. best we will get is rebranded razors saying Gillette.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

The heads' weights should be compared.

[@seanm7834]

I just hope this is them testing the market before they consider jumping back into the DE market in North America, why not use a tried and true design that can appeal to most people as the test bed

[@profesam8457]

So... let me see if I understand.... Basically, you are saying that the Gillette is basically the same razor as the DE89. Is that right?

[@IAMCDB]

It may not be identical but the head is very similar. There's not a ton of difference between the two.

[@i_PIV]

It is known that the Muhle R89 and Edwin Jagger DE89 are different razors, although very similar. The Muhle has a gap between the blades of 0.45 millimeters (0.018 inches), while the Edwin Jagger has a larger gap of 0.71 millimeters (0.028 inches). It is known that the Gillette Heritage razor head was made by Muhle. Then why is Edwin Jagger mentioned so often in Gillette Heritage reviews?

[@SIGSOLO]

Would you consider selling the Gillette Heritage Razor?. Amazon does not ship to Greenland...

[@IAMCDB]

Sorry sir, I gave it away already.

[@SIGSOLO]

@@IAMCDB OK, I'll just have to keep on searching.....

[@vladimirvladimirovic8989]

Great video. Thank you.

[@terragthegreat175]

They used the Edwin Jagger hewd because they don't have the machinery to make DE razor heads. The handles are easier to make, so they could do those, but for the purposes of just testing the market, they contracted out the heads. Their 'King C Gillette' razor, I believe is more unique.

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Garrett, I appreciate it sir. It shaved ok, there was no problem with it as far as that went.

[@profesam8457]

You are right about Gillette. They actually contracted with Muhle for their 89-style heads.

[@redscorpion9325]

I just got my Heritage today and its loose and won’t tighten any further,it shakes and I will have to ask for refund from Amazon 😩

[@IAMCDB]

I'm sorry to hear this. Hopefully they'll get that taken care of for you.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Most 3 piece safety razor heads are similar to these.

[@talega1]

I compared the weight of the Heritage, Muhle, EJ and RR; small differences. On 3 pass shaves they all provide excellent shaves. On one pass, there might be a small difference. All in all great razors. I like OC razors, so use these very seldom.....

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Did you compare just the heads?

[@talega1]

@@MrPAULONEAL If you check Sinatra Lennon, his 2nd vid, he shows on his iPad the data (mine) cheers. Yes just the heads (which is the similar thing)

[@78troland]

Thank you!😊🙏
