Safety Razor MÜHLE R 89 Closed Comb

MÜHLE R 89 is one of the clearest introductions to traditional wet shaving: a precisely balanced, three-piece safety razor with a closed comb and a comfortably tuned blade feel. Its safety bar guides the skin towards a standard double-edge blade, helping each short stroke remain predictable without the more direct character of an open-comb head. The finely chased handle gives wet fingers a reliable grip, while the 70gr weight supplies enough momentum for the razor to work with almost no pressure. Brilliant chrome plating protects the metal and gives the R 89 its enduring, unmistakably clean finish. It is approachable for a first safety razor yet precise and refined enough to remain an everyday tool for years.

Who is it for?

For beginners and experienced users who want a closed-comb T-shaped razor for regular facial shaving, controlled pressure and an economical replaceable-blade system.

Choose this if...

You value a balanced, comparatively gentle razor, standard double-edge blades and the ability to adjust the result by changing blade brand rather than replacing the whole shaving system.

Who is it not for?

Choose a more direct open-comb model if you specifically want stronger blade exposure or regularly remove long, dense growth after many days without trimming.

What does it do?

The closed safety bar supports a smooth, controlled stroke, while the blade cuts close to skin level without relying on several stacked blades. Both edges of the blade can be used, and the blade itself is replaced independently of the razor.

How to use?

Prepare the beard with warm water and shaving cream or soap. Hold the razor at approximately a 30-degree angle and use short strokes without pressing. Start in the direction of hair growth, rinse the head frequently and apply fresh lather before any additional pass. To change the blade, unscrew the handle, separate the head plates and hold the blade only by its short, unsharpened ends.
