This safety razor is outstanding. Frankly, I didn't expect it would be so excellent. Originally, I bought the Gillette Heritage just as a cheap traveling razor, expecting it would be too mild and little inefficient; but I was completely wrong. Even though this razor is quite gentle, it's very, very efficient. I achieved a perfect BBS result in a standard three-pass shave. As an experienced user of expensive safety razors on the aggressive side, I'm really surprised how excellent even a cheap razor like this one can be. In short, I'm astonished.
I bought this a little while after it came out and I love this razor. My go to razor whether it's a 3 day or a seven day shave.👍
Excellent review, thanks for comparing the weights of the razors, very helpful aspect of your video.
Thanks very much, Rock N Roll!:) Glad to hear you found it helpful.:)
Nice shave Mark, the razor gave you a great shave. The clam shell case is beautiful, hopefully Gillette will do some TTO razors in the future. Those Platinum blades are great too.
Thanks.:) It'll be interesting to see how Gillette proceeds. Hopefully, this is not a one-off.
Nice review! I totally agree with the branding on the razors somewhere it would definitely make things easier to recognize & keep everything in order! Great video!
Thasnks, Jaosn. Yes, I've got a few razors that have no branding and possibly, years from now, I'll be scratching my head. Gonna have to get things organized and labeled somehow.:)
You're a cool guy! I really enjoy your reviews, you really know what you're doing. Thumbs up!!!
Taks for the kind words, Vladimir. Appreciated. 🙂
I found that a feather blade is amazing with this razor gave me an amazing shave
Wonderful to hear.:)
The Astra Greens are amazing as well.
@@opinionator3884 Overall, Astras have been a good performing blade for me.:)
Opinionator for some reason I just don’t like those blades I have try them 5 times .. my go too blades have been perma-sharp .. but my wife uses the astras green for her legs she’s now a wetshaver lol she loves the Merkur 34c
@@72garibay I can understand wife's preference for the 34C. There's a nice, mild quality to it.:)
is that an r89 muhle head?
Hey Mark. As it happens, my father gave me the exact same super speed as yours did to you. I use it every morning in combination with Astra blues or Gillette platinum blades and I get amazing results. The razors performance is fantastic. However, where I live, it is very hard to find good razors so I'm thinking of ordering one from Amazon as a backup. Since I am so satisfied with the super speed I would like something as good(or better) if possible, which one would you recommend; EJ DE89 or the Gillette Heritage? Thanks in advance.
I'm very impressed with the Gillette Heritage. Very smooth with the included blades and a bit more efficient than the Edwin Jagger, IMHO.:) Very mild, but efficient.:) I really like the Heritage handle, too.:) Again, I was impressed with the Heritage! Additionally, you get a nice clam-shell case and blades. It's a fairly compact size...if you wanted, you'd be able to travel with it.:) An American made handle with a German made razor head. All around, a great deal.
I mean, Gillette did everything right with this razor! It gets my vote! I know you'll be happy with it.:) I'm happy with mine.:)
Keep in mind, that it's Cyber Monday and I tweeted out a couple of deals on Edwin Jagger razors:
This EJ is $22.00: amzn.to/2OJoAG1
And looks like the DE89L is on sale at similar price, as well: amzn.to/2Yb8mc0
So, maybe you can get both??:):):)
@@MarkSzorady Thank you for the quick reply Mark. Heritage was my initial choice because of how nice it looks with the package and I just wanted to know if the EJ was noticeably better because they are in the same price range but I see that is not the case. I think you and I have a similar shaving style and I trust your judgment that the Heritage is a good choice. Thanks again and all the best, cheers! :)
@@stiskavac My pleasure.:) The EJ is on sale. Probably just for the day, I would guess.
@@MarkSzorady That's ok. I ordered the Gillette already. I like it better :)
Can you please try out and tell me if the handle can be screwed straight to the handle without the base plate? I use my razors this wasy and I have to know before buy it. I'd be really thankfull.
(This one or the King C one)
Thanks. Great video. The razor head could be made by Mühle in Germany. Same head as the R89 ?
When I used it, it's the same thought I had after finishing the shave.:) I may do a comparison. Muhle makes razors, etc for others. I have a Baxter of California razor and it's a clone of the R89.:)
Mark Szorady I got mine today in Belgium. The head is exactly the same as the one on my Mühle R89. I find the same “4” on both top caps. The good news is that Mühle is using brass screws on their caps (as opposed to Edwin Jagger which is using Zamak ones). This screw is often the Achilles’ heel of Zamak DE razor.
@@thierrydegroote3571 My Baxter of California razor is actually an R89. I'm going to check it for that number 4.
Hi Mark. Great review. Haven`t got a Heritage yet but will when they hit the stores. Thanks for the video.👍
Thanks, Brian!:) I don't know what Gillette's long term plans are for this razor or if it will be sold in stores. But, you never know.:)
They only sell on Amazon...
@@MrPAULONEAL I believe so. However, if I come across another store or online seller, I'll pass along.:)
Which razor would you say is least aggressive between this one and the merkur?
Hi, Theophilus. I'd say the merkur 34C is milder than the heritage. Both are good, but the Heritage has better efficiency.
@@MarkSzorady
I suffer from extremely sensitive skin I use the rockwell on setting 2
Just looking to get another razor. Any recomendations on the mildest razor you know?
@@FunkmasterG6 IMHO, it's the Merkur 34C. A very narrow cutting angle the offers a very mild shave. However, YMMV.
@@MarkSzorady
Thank you sir. Blessings .
Great job I may pull the trigger on buying it 😀
It gave me a really smooth shave!:) Worth the price of admission.:)
The Gillette Pure shave cream is excellent.
Great shave Mark!!! First time I used the Heritage I used the Gillette Pure cream as well. It shaves great, very smooth shaver. Yes, Pure does have a hint of some menthol of some kind, because it is so refreshing while you shave and afterwards. This razor is definitely a part of my rotation. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I see ya for the Monday Mailbag!!!
Thanks for confirming the menthol.:) Yes, Pure makes for a nice shave.:)
@@MarkSzorady oh absolutely. I feel like it's one of the best bang for your buck shave creams out there. I have one in my travel bag, as it is now my travel shave cream.
@@nydieselinfl Agree. On amazon, a three pack is a little over 15 bucks.:)
@@MarkSzorady yup, after buying it at CVS the first time and using it and loving it, I saw it on Amazon as a 3 pack, and bought it that way, and was $14.86. Can't beat the value, and it's perfect for travel, because they took my shave stick the last time I went on a plane, but they let me keep my Pure. Weird, I know.
@@nydieselinfl Saving this comment for a future MMMB. Informative and shows that the TSA will throw you a curve. Thanks!:)
Great Video, but i am disappointed the razor head is exactly like my Edwin Jagger DE 89
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it does have the EJ look, but it certainly gave me a smoother and closer shave then my DE89L. Then again, I've always said that the shorter handled EJs were more efficient for me. This Heritage razor has the same length handle, so maybe that's the factor for a closer shave for me?
Walgreens is also selling a king c gillette razor only the head is made in china and is only available online by Walgreens but out of stock for 29.99, you can not buy it at any Walgreens store
Why did they stop selling the Heritage?
The Heritage comes and goes. For sure, you have to keep a lookout for it. I find that it sems to pop up around the Christmas holidays. It seems they make a bunch, sell them all and then we have to wait to see if they get stocked again. Many folks purchased when it was first released and for about a year or so, we saw no sign of it. Suddenly, it was available again. So, you may want to search on Amazon from time to time.
The handle looks a lot like the Gillette New. They could possibly generate a good deal of interest by coming out with a stainless. Perhaps a tribute in style, but be stainless.
Stainless would be nice!:)
Awesome video Mark! I made a purchase for this razor on Amazon. Do you need a confirmation # to receive the commission? Would love to help you out. Thanks Mark!
Jeemy, thank you for the support.;) If you used the link in the description, it should be fine.:) If not, that's okay.:) Very glad you purchased the razor.:) It's a good one.:)
@@MarkSzorady oh no I purchased the razor before watching your video :( but hey Mark!? I'm planning on buying a parker razor off of Amazon I can use your link if you have one for the 82r? Or do you have a recommendation for a parker razor? I see you posted a few vids but i thought I would ask you first?
@@MarkSzorady I'm actually thinking of getting the Parker variant I saw your video on it as I'm not too happy with my Rockwell. Again love your channel it's definitely my favorite up there with Nick shaves. If I get the Parker variant would I need a new link so you could get the Amazon reward, or do I use the one from the review video?
@@jeremyfermin5909 Jeremy, I have no reviews for the 82R. I've used and reviewed the Parker 96R, 56R (a favorite), A1R Travel, and Variant Adjustable.:) However, if you want, use this link to the Parker Store on Amazon: amzn.to/3070kWS I think it'll then credit me regardless of what you purchase. No pressure if you find a better price elsewhere on the internet.:) I sincerely appreciate you reaching out to support the channel.
It is no longer available. Do you have any idea if/when this might be available?
Bob, I do not. However, with Prime day quickly approaching (October 13 and 14), perhaps it'll be available then? If I come across it being available again, I'll be sure to tweet it out.
I just got one through Amazon a few weeks ago.
@@mattpedro983 Glad to hear because availability can be sporadic.
@@MarkSzorady , yeah. I had looked for it a couple weeks prior and it wasn't available. I wonder if they did a run of them for the Christmas shopping season.
@@mattpedro7461 Possibly. Who knows?
The number 4 means it was made at 4 o'clock.😂 Btw Mark, may I please ask you, in your opinion and suggestions on the best DE razors for headshaving? Im ditching the cartridge razors forever. Love your video. Have a great day to you.
Afandi, thanks.:) As far as head shaving goes, I've used a number of razors. I tend to simply grab whatever razor I shaved with in the morning and use this for a head shave. But, generally, I really like the Chieftain and Vulcan from Vikings Blade. These are neutral and give me a nice amount of feedback when I shave my head. I can feel the blade but not so much as to be overly aggressive. However, I do lighten up on my touch when doing a head shave. Also, if the razor is too mild, I cannot feel the blade and really not sure I've shave the head. So, the Merkur HD 30C is not one I often use for ahead shave...too mild and the handle is a bit short for getting in the back on the neck. But, I have used it in the past.:)
I also like the new razors (Steam, Ice, and Rain) from Globalshave.club. Great heavy handles and a bit more aggressive than an Edwin Jagger DE89L. Again, it allows me to feel the blade a bit more. The Fatip Grande (made after 2017) is another mild razor with a bit of efficiency that does a nice job.
Lastly, just about any adjustable does a good job. I tend to dial it in the middle (again a neutral setting) and will dial down if i do a second pass.
The important thing is to have a good lather up there and make sure to pull the razor in a straight line and make sure to feel the blade. this requires a constant adjustment of the razor angle. I've found that moving it side to side or not lifting it completely from the head when moving it over to shave a new row (so to speak) can result in a nick.
HTH.
The Heritage razor is nice I like mine
Agree, nicky21111.:) It's a terrific razor and a good one for first time wet shavers.:)
I disagree on the knurling. It is very, very sharp.
Perhaps they changed something in their production? Mine has a smoother, knurled feeling. No real sharpness or bite to it in my hand.
Hello Mark,
Regards from a follower from Greenland.
Would you consider selling it to me? Amazon does not ship to Greenland and I cannot seem to source the razor anywhere else.
Hi, SK Solvig. The availability for these razors on Amazon has been hit or miss. Right now, it's currently unavailable. So, this one is pretty valuable to me in that I'll be using it in future reviews, etc. Replacing it won't be easy. My sincere apologies. I hope you understand. Currently, not only can you not get one sent to Greenland from Amazon, no one can get one from Amazon.
Thanks for tuning in form Greenland!:) I'm flattered!:)
@@MarkSzorady Thanks for your answer. I completely understand. And thank you for a great channel and inspiring videos!
@@SIGSOLO let's wait and see if it becomes available on amazon once more. With the holiday season approaching, you really never know.
@@MarkSzorady I know I'll have to be patient. Amazon is not an option for me as they do ship to Greenland. So I´ll have to source it elsewhere...
"Heritage Inspired" - by Edwin Jagger's heritage.
Could be. But made in Germany and the U.S. as reported by Mantic59.:)
@@MarkSzorady The German Muhle r89 head is exactly the same as the EJ DE89 since it was co-designed so it looks like Gillette farmed out the Heritage head to Muhle. The Heritage handle is a modern reproduction of the Gillette 1930's Common Bar Handle.
Nice video and nice touch all Gillette. I got a better shave w this razor than the Vikings Augustus...by far. I did weight the top of gillette vs EJ and EJ is lighter (a bit). Yeah no brand on Gillette , EJ, Muhle nor Razorock.....probably all made at the same "sweatshop" in China....
Not sure. Masntic59 reported tht the handle is made in the U.s.A. and the razor head in Germany.
The 4 has to do with the head spacing...
Thank you.:)
I will pass on buying Gillette along with Nike.
sinning #Triggered
Why Nike?
I just sent u an email to the mondaymailbag. My buddy has had problems with a certain razor. Want your thoughts on the findings
Thanks!:) Will check it out. Tomorrow's MMMB is already set to publish. So, perhaps i can use this next week.:) appreciated.:)
Oh no. It wasn’t for the MMMB, I Don’t think I’m friends with you on Facebook and I didn’t know your regular email so that was the only way I knew how to send a picture to you
@@magnoliamike Understood.:)
Rub alum on your fingers it won't be slippery
Thanks, Robert Heschke.:) Great tip.:)
Not sure why people want Gillette to get back into the DE market. All they will do is make it harder for artisans to make a profit in this business
I think it may have something to do with Gillette recognizing the growing traditional wet shave market. I think that's what has folks excited.
