+ 1 on the Muhle R89...one of my favourite DE razors.3 April 2020 – afternoon – no rush these days and was bored:
Four day shave. After my success with the Braveheart head I thought I should be able to get the same result with the R89. And I did, with a 99% BBS result. This was four passes with just one small nick.
Last time I used the Erasmic soap I wasn't happy with the lather, but my new red shaving bowl (with nubs) worked wonders, got a really good lather. Still had to load the brush twice but the result shows it's mainly down to technique rather than the quality of the product (or lack of). Others may disagree but I feel that persevering is the key.

I Love the Handle , Jury is still out on the Knot , the one I have is set quite high and then has a pretty big glue bump and I am not used to that as none of my other Brushes have that , I ,like the feel of the knot , so will use it more as I may just being prejudiced towards the glue bump as have got it in my head I don't like big glue bumpsWhat do you think of the brush Russ?
