Not active on the fora but after shaving with a Muhle brush, quality soaps and AS's and a Muhle R41 (the very aggressive version) i shaved with the R89 again today. I started out with a R89. Almost BBS, not completely. After a while my technique allowed me to try the R41. BBS! Now, after a long time i picked up a R89 and BBS in 2 passes (usually do 3 passes regardless). I have come so far i can probably shave with about any blade now, from very mild to very aggressive. Wanting to buy a backup R89 i decided to hit the fora to see if it's still the mild R89 in production today, and to my joy i saw this post. I logged in after a long time just to post here. I'm not very active here anymore but i still enjoy wetshaving and now finally enjoy the savings, after spending a boatload on equipment. It's great to see wetshaving getting some serious attention, commercials might even be better. As long as it doesn't tip the scale and become super-commercial i think this can only help spreading wetshaving and SE's, DE's and open razors.

Its funny because the commercial was on recently... late at night and its what got me searching online for a DE razor for the first time, very recently. That lead to my first Gillete Flare tip, which lead to me finding this awesome Forum, which lead me to youtube where I learned from Mantic on the art of shaving...which lead me to my current obsession with DE razors.... things always happen for a reason... its a good thing!

Wow your in deep lol if you have any pen questions feel free to PM me or start a thread in the nib.. we are always here to help
I bought this razor. I totally did. And...I'm never going back to cartridges. Ever. Nicest shave ever (despite how mad I may be that I bought an ASOTV product...lol)...
I also just asked my Dad if he knew where my Grandpa Ray's (man spent 14 days in a lifeboat...Merhcant Marine, he was...) original DE safety razor was. It was in a stunning case...sorry to tease, but if he knows where it is, it's mine. lol
Also: Dollar General Market and Dollar General are the same company, same blades. They're located about 20 miles from me, near Nashville. And yes, they go way to Chinese in the name of profit. We used to pick DG over Wm for 'Made in USA'. Neither pick those anymore.

$20 for a brass razor? Something doesn't add up. Is anyone using this bad boy?
The Ri-Mei razor (I paid $2.25 including shipping) is a fantastic cheap razor. I wonder if this razor is any better than that.
I'd like to have granpa razor o.o however mine switched for a cart back in the early 70's.
I am wondering who pays the postman for dropping a "$2.25 razor including shipping from China" in a not Chinese mailbox.
Yes, it's hard to believe you can even mail an empty envelope from China (Hong Kong, to be precise) to the USA for $2.25.

And we are glad to have you CMJ... my first DE was a HD as well I still bust it out from time to time
Same for me. I saw the commercial and immediately thought about learning to shave with my Dad. I used to pretend to shave with his safety razor so I ordered one. I got it and used it immediately. After I cut the crap out of myself I started doing some research, watching videos and reading articles on here. I'm doing better now but I'm really getting into it now and am trying to learn more. I ordered an Edwin Jagger DE89 and after I get good at that I want to learn to use a straight razor.
I'm pretty sure the microtouch one is going to be bringing more traffic here, just like it did us.
