R89 with the new Razorock HD Hollow handle. I love this combo. Perfectly balanced, comfortable performer. my goto when I’m looking for a smooth, mild shave. It’ll always be in my rotation (unless Mühle makes a ss version!)

Hopefully one day they’ll release a stainless R89. Seems like a no-brainer to me.If Muhle made a Milder/Less Aggressive Rocca I think it would be hot seller, because it is no POT METAL.
