which one did you have? i have both platesI'm an R89 fan..I do find the EJ DE 89 a tad bit more aggressive and efficient than the Muhle.
Looks like.I.need to get the Goats back into my den.![]()
Does it cut any stubble?I've got a Merkur 37C, don't need another slanty chinese![]()
Yes, depending on the blade of choiceDoes it cut any stubble?
I really wish I’d grabbed a polished head Weber back in the day.Thank goodness I found a Weber from a very friend, from The Shaving Room forum, and the Weber is slightly more efficient than the original Merkur 34C, and the Goat standard is slightly more efficient than the Weber.
So, I don’t need a Goat in my den, because the Weber is bloody PERFECT!
Me too, I feel your pain and guilt….I really wish I’d grabbed a polished head Weber back in the day.
The standard one, will get the Plus base plate this time as well.which one did you have? i have both plates
The coated ones are awesome too and super smooth. Good on ya mate.Me too, I feel your pain and guilt….
Very lucky to have a Weber, and it was in black coated. It’s better than nothing.
I find my R89 and DE89s to be just a shade more efficient than my 34C which dates from around 2016. Time was I used the 34C almost constantly but now I find it doesn’t serve as well as the ‘89s.For example:-
From a very mild shave:-
EJDE89 & Muhle R89, both the same
Merkur 34C & 34G HD
Weber Razor polish head & black coated head
RazoRock Goat standard
RazoRock Goat plus
To very aggressive shave:-
Can't comment on the Merkur 34 INOX, because, I'm not getting it.
Errol our Aussie shaving reviewer, has already done a review on the Merkur 34 INOX see link below.I find my R89 and DE89s to be just a shade more efficient than my 34C which dates from around 2016. Time was I used the 34C almost constantly but now I find it doesn’t serve as well as the ‘89s.
Additionally, the beautifully made stainless 80th anniversary Mühle R89 has, to me, noticeably sharper corners which dig in more than its peasant brethren. I prefer shaving with the Zamak originals, tbh.
If the stupidly named GOAT was more efficient/effective than my older 34C, then I could be tempted especially given the rocking-horse-poop nature of the Weber’s availability. If I could get a PH Weber without the ‘wavy’ blade issue for under £150 then I’d try and grab it by the nutmegs.
I don’t like the matte finish of the 34 Inox one bit and could never consider purchasing one.
I’ll probably just carry on with my standard ‘89s whilst periodically slashing myself with the 3 straights. My DE89 Barley, a muckle Zenith boar knot and Harris, Salter or vintage tallow hard soaps is all I really need. Even the non-tallow Tabac will do when I fancy the the olfactory challenge.
Christ, I’m gibbering proper long-winded crap tonight…
i would had got or thought about getting the r89 or 34ionx if it wasnt that razrock came out with their version before and that nasty branding they had to ruin it with on both they could of engraved it on the bottle base plate like the goat also like my goat + with weber bulldog handle on itI find my R89 and DE89s to be just a shade more efficient than my 34C which dates from around 2016.
