How would you guys compare the shave? Easy on the face like a SS or more aggressive like a red tip or an open comb?
The R89 has a larger handle, but it is decidedly light, making the razor head heavy. Many here like the razor, but I know that some value good balance highly.
The DE89 has a smaller handle, but it is heavier. Better balanced and easier to maneuver.
The shaves I get from the R89 are very good, but I find myself needing a bit more touchup than with the EJ. I'm sure this would sort itself out if I would only be able to commit to using it exclusively for a while.
The handle of the Muhle being a little lighter, does it feel thin and flimsy or is it well made but "lighter"? I like the pattern better on the Muhle, but the balance of the DE89L seems more opitimal. If the Muhle gives the impression of thin light weight metal, I would opt for the EJ. What do you think?

From what I have read (although I don't own a Muhle), the photos of the Muhle handle are somewhat misleading. Some who own it indicate the pattern is something like a stamped handle. While I have heard no one complain about it, it seems like the handle is not the Muhle's strong point.

Oh I thought it was a special lining!
Is it really worth the extra money?I've found a 89 for £53, but a 89L for £70. I've also found a Muhle R89 for £25.
Is the EJ worth that much more??

Let us know what you think when you get it and how it compares to what you're using now.I was looking at the wrong razor. the Chatsworth was 70GBP. Just ordered the 89l for 21GBP. Hope it arrives before Christmas!!
