![]() I may go electric for a day or two to let my face recover. I can feel "heat" in a few areas where I normally didn't feel anything before, but the razor is more aggressive by design so I can't fault it for that. Overall the shaves have been good, discounting nicks of course, but the razor is definitely a bit more aggressive than the DE89. Don't take the blade for granted." However, when I draw blood three days in a row there is something more going on here. So when I shave and draw blood my response is usually, "Hmm, that doesn't happen very often. I am a competent enough shaver that I generally don't nick myself or even get a weeper unless I am careless. I used a different blade a a red Israeli. I really do find the 30ne6 handle too narrow. This gave me more confidence and control over the 3one6 head. I changed out the handle to my EJ barley handle. I really want to like this razor so will give it some more time.ĭay 3: I am struggling with how to relate my 3one6 razor experience without sounding overly negative, but it just isn't going well for me. I really don't want to sound discouraging because this razor may just be the best thing since sliced bread for many I am just trying to report my initial user experiences. The DE89 and I hit it off right away and I was hoping for the same here. I won't give up on the 3one6 after only two shaves, but it better connect pretty quickly. A fine razor, but maybe just not suitable for me. I am not knocking Edwin Jagger products, you'd have a fight on your hands if you tried to take my barley handle DE89, but this 3one6 may just be too aggressive for me. I hope and pray that tomorrow will be a better experience. After the first pass I switched to a Gillette Yellow and finished the shave, but my confidence had already been shaken for this morning's shave. ![]() Normally I get very good, trouble free shaves with my DE89 so I am somewhat concerned with this 3one6. The 34C is most definitely among the top beginner razors I have used and could recommend. The end result after making three passes (shaves) and a fair few strokes was a nice clean shave that was done with complete ease for a safety razor shave. This was using a Feather blade on its second shave. It felt milder than others i have used including the Mühle R89 and Edwin Jagger DE89. ![]() Our components come direct from our tools and we determine availability, our own production runs and Edwin Jagger quality control.Day 2: Today I got two weepers and one bleeding nick on my first pass. We do not rely on Muhle for supplies to fulfill our growing sales. Neil: Having actively been involved in the design, trialing and final prototyping, just like Andreas, I view the DE head as part Edwin Jagger design. Obie: This then, once and for all, erases the currently held belief that Muhle designs and produces the Edwin Jagger shave head. Once we had approved the drawings we both committed to prototyping costs and shared the complicated tooling costs, which were at that time considerable. Ultimately my determination to keep improving the underside of the DE base plate - clean and uncluttered - allowed us to agree on a new design that was really quite different from anything else we had seen already on the market. It was a very exciting time as we exchanged numerous sketches and CAD drawings with alteration after alteration. It was Andreas Muller - new to the Muhle Company at the time - and myself who teamed up to search for potential contract manufacturers before we started to design a two-part head that suited both company’s needs. Is this correct or is it just falacy? Neil: Actually we hear this a lot. Obie: The story going around is that the German Muhle makes the Edwin Jagger razor shave head. Here is an excerpt from an interview with Neil Jagger that another B&B member showed to me. So is the R89 similar, or literally the same head? If they're different, how are they different? Thanks all! I'm not saying it's bad at all, just not the same. ![]() The 71R looks and feels like somebody looked at the DE89 and said "Hey, I could make that!" And proceeded to do so, from memory. The 71R is way more aggressive than the DE89. I mean, look, they clearly shared some common design elements, and they have similar mechanisms, but they shave completely differently. Can anyone answer authoritatively: Are they, in fact, identical? I don't care about the handles, but how "identical" are the heads? Are they from the same factory identical, or was one the inspiration for the other? I had heard before that the DE89 and the Parker 71R were "practically the same razor." However, I just got a DE89 and it is "practically the same razor" in the same way that a Chevy Malibu is "practically the same car" as a Ford Fusion. I'm becoming a bit of a Mühle fanboy as of late, and I've heard varying stories about these two razors.
