I have a Merkur 34c and absolutely love it. IMO the Merkur 34c with a feather blade offers the perfect daily shave, perfection. However, I always wanted a slightly larger handle for my big hands. When I saw a video of this razor it looked almost exactly like the Merkur 34c with a larger handle. I just got the razor in the mail today, it's gorgeous ! I just hope this measures up to my Merkur 34c because no other razor has yet.
Awesome review and video! Just used my R89 Twist for the first time today and am already in love with it. I used it with a feather blade and I had a 5 day growth so the shave was very enjoyable. Thanks for the video I like it a lot ;)
Hi Alex, I've recently found your channel and subscribed. Now I'm slowly seeing some of your videos and I must congratulate you on being methodical and concise in your approach making it easy for us mere mortals to understand 😉 I agree on your assessment of the R89 vs the 34c, I find the 34c has to work harder to obtain a bbs. I've come full circle from mild to aggressive razors and I'm now finding a new love for my R89. All the best from the UK. 🤙
Hi Alex great video :), cay you recommend which safety razor to purchase for a beginner between the Muhle R89 Closed Comb Safety Razor and Timor German Made Closed Comb Safety Razor? I seen that you have done a video on both! Which one were you most impressed with? Thanks James :)
I'd put the lotion on after the balm but otherwise great ;) Also your technique is superb especially shaving the neck area in many directions while keeping the perfect angle! Kudos ;)
Great video Alex! I have not used a DE razor in over 40 years. Back then that’s all we used. So I decided recently to go back to it and I think I am going to get the Muhle R89 now. But I watched another video you did on the Muhle R41 and then I thought: I wonder if I should get that instead. Closed vs open comb. Could you do a video on those two against one another. That would be helpful. And I think helpful for a lot of others. Thank you for these great videos!
Thank you for your feedback 😉 If you haven’t used a DE razor in a while I would suggest to go with the R89. It is not so aggressive than the R41. But in the upcoming videos definitely I will make a comparison between a closed comb and a open comb razor. Stay safe, have a great weekend & cheers!
The head is the same on both razor, so the aggressiveness is the same. The only difference is that the R89 twist is a 2 piece razor and the regular R89 is a classic 3 piece razor. If you have any other questions feel free to ask 😉 Cheers!
@@AlexShavesReviews hi. One more question...what about clogging? Does the razor clog while you shave and is it easy to rinse it out without having to loosen the razor?
@@AlexShavesReviews Thanks. Based on your review. I am going to purchase one. Now I just need to find some mildly aggressive blades to pair with this razor.
@@rob26b great! Let me know how it works for you 😉 for the blades I would recommend Voskhod, Feather, Gillette Silver Blue or BIC Chrome Platinum. By the way, I have a Top 10 Razor blades video uploaded, if you want to check it out 👍 All the best & cheers! ✌️
Thank you ,very well done 👍

Merkur 38C is same as 34C but with bigger handle

R89 or R41 which should i buy?

@@AlexShavesReviews Great great videos. Beginning to end. All of them. Keep it up!
18:17 What is that block?.
It is an "alum block" it works like an antiseptic block that helps with razor burn and nicks/cuts.
Nice shave, Alex ✋🙂👍💈 muhle is really good and quality razors 👍 do you have R41 head?
Thx 👍 Indeed, mühle makes some great razors. I have the R41 also. Bit more aggressive than R89. But still, great razor 😁 👋
Try just clubman pinaud kream, like after shave, for mee works, the best
Thx 😉 I will give it a try. 👍
Would you consider this a mild or aggressive razor? How would you compare the aggressiveness to the Regular Muhle R89 (not twisted)? Cheers.
The head is the same on both razor, so the aggressiveness is the same. The only difference is that the R89 twist is a 2 piece razor and the regular R89 is a classic 3 piece razor. If you have any other questions feel free to ask 😉 Cheers!

@@rob26b from my experience and since I’m using the razor, it never clogged and it rinse great 👍
