@Marco - I have found the scale that italianbarber provides to be very accurate. However, your question is slightly nuanced. The mildest razors are the mambas (both versions). HOWEVER, the razor that would be most like the DE89 is the GC 0.68 SB. I also have a BBS (similar to the Mambas) and while it is incredibly mild, it doesn't have the **feel** of a DE89. The GC 0.68 *feels* like a traditional DE razor (for better or worse). One downside for me is that I hate loading the blade to the baseplate. I felt the GC 0.84 is way more aggressive for my face than the GC 0.68. The BBS series is also fantastic but they do not feel like a DE89. I hope this helps.
I LOVE the finish on the RR razors. It is not Wolfman but it is not trying to be. For the price it is fantastic. Only machine marks I can see are on the underside of the top cap.
The link posted in post 12 is the Gamechanger 0.68 straight bar and would be my recommendation for what you are looking for.
Sir, my sincere apologizes for asking a question that was technically not accurate. Only afterwards I realized that RazoRock's mildest razors are not what I'm actually looking for. Rather, I'm looking for a SS head design that shaves as closely as possible to the "89 Series". Thank you very much for pointing out my unintentional mistake and providing a very solid reply.
