Hey guys and welcome to Premimprep.com. Today we're going to be reviewing the Mule R89 safety razor. It's a 3P safety razor that resembles my Edwin Jagger DE89 LBL in a lot of regards. But let's start off with the weight of it. I just weighed it on my scale and they came in at 2.2 ounces, which is fairly light for a safety razor. I wasn't expecting it to be so light because when I pulled it out of the box, first thing I noticed was how the handle was pretty thick so I was expecting it to be at least three ounces. But it turns out that this is the metal on the handle is not very thick. The handle itself is pretty light and the majority of the weight comes from the two pieces of the head, which makes the balance point fairly high but not too high as long as it stays on the grip I'm okay with it. So the balance point is right here and it's pretty easy to maneuver from one hand position to another while staying on the grip and maintaining control of the safety razor, which is okay. Yeah, so yeah, the balance feels good. The weight is a little bit lighter than I would like. I like it a little bit heavier so that the weight of the safety razor can really do. The majority of the work on with the safety razor wall when I'm shaving, I feel like I'm trying to let the weight of the safety razor do the work but I end up using a little bit of muscle to cut the hairs on my face. In terms of the grip, let's see if I could get it focused and really close. Okay, there we go. Yeah, so the grip is made of a bunch of wavy grooves that go from the top of the handle to the bottom of the handle. They provide pretty good grip if you're moving your hand horizontally across the handle but vertically it doesn't provide the best grip in the world. I haven't had too much trouble with this slipping out but I can imagine if your hands were super slippery and soapy and wet, it could be possible. But at the end there are these horizontal pieces and in between it they have their mule and that looks pretty nice yet. And that adds to additional grip and also knowing where the end of the handle is, which is nice. In terms of the fit and finish, it has a really nice chrome finish to it. It looks absolutely amazing. It's one of the best looking safety razors that I own by far. The length, I just measured it and it came in at 3.7 inches which is probably my favorite length and the best length overall for a safety razor for a couple of reasons. I have pretty large hands and anything under 3.5 inches is a little too short to do all the different hand positioning and grips that I would like to be able to use while shaving. So sometimes I do two fingers, sometimes three. A lot of safety razors I use, I put the end of the handle, Ressie on my pinky and this is mostly for heavy safety razors. And with 3.7 inches I can do that as long as my indexed fingers and get pushed up to here, which it would on anything shorter than 3.5 inches than I'm fine. It allows me to maneuver it very easily without the handle hitting the palm on my hand. It should be fine for people with small hands and people with average size hands it should be. Should be fine now so I think 3.7 inches is a great length overall for any safety razor. Well, let's talk about the aggressiveness on the sky and it does shave similar to my Edwin Jagger D89 LBL. It's a little bit more aggressive I would say so I'm rating it about a 4 out of 10 on my aggressive scale and that could be due to the weight a lot of it is probably due to the weight since it's pretty late. You end up using I think people end up using a lot more force when they're shaving with lighter razors and that results in it feeling more aggressive while they're shaving. But yeah overall the head piece is designed extremely well. It sits the blade perfectly I haven't had a problem with that. Let me slip a blade in real fast. Yeah it does a really good job of seating the blade perfectly. There's no unevenness. Cool yeah let's get on both sides it shaves the exact same on both sides which is perfect. Yeah so I really like 3p safety razors just because they're going to last you a long time and they're really easy to clean and maintain. Butterfly opens their own get dirty and it's a lot harder to clean them. Also there's more moving parts so things are more likely to break down and wear out from normal wear and tear. But yeah it's overall it's a great 3p safety razor. The shave is great. It's a little bit lighter than I would like but it looks amazing. It has a good balance point. Get a really good shave and I just love seeing this thing so I might stand this really a wonderfully crafted tool by Mule. Yes so that's my Mule R89 review. I hope you guys enjoyed it. This is a good safety razor for any beginner and if you don't have it in your collection as a what shaving enthusiast this would also be a great addition. If you have a thicker beard it might not be the best option because it's not too aggressive and the blade gap is pretty small so you might want to go opt for something a little bit more aggressive in that regard.
