Is it or is it not a Muhle?

Anyone know what this is ? It is un badged and the owner of the shop tells me that they aren't made by Muhle

True enough; as far as I know these were made by Fatip-Italy and sold under the Mühle brand till the end of '08. In Italy (and Australia I think) they were sold as Fatip's. It might be worth looking for them on Italian sites because the last time I saw one overthere they went for 10-15 euro.

I bought one (after the price drop) and they are a decent razor with good build quality

They have it in gold as well. If that is what used to be the old style Muhle R89, I might have to pick one up.

I just ordered one in Gun Metal and it was 1/2 the price. Thanks for the tip. I have dealt with this company before and they are very reliable.

This look exactly like the Mulhe R89 old style. In Oz, they still sell them under the name 'Premax'. I bought one when it was sold by Muhle.

I had a look at the Premax razor and it's physically identical to the Muhle. I didn't try the Premax but my guess would be, it's the same.

They also have a gunmetal version. That is interesting. Too bad shipping is so much.

That's an old R89.Now there's a real man's D/E if ever there was one.

The old Muhle R41 is the same razor only in nickel. Very aggressive. I can't wait to get it

 

[VR6ofpain]

Sucks that the shipping is twice the cost of the gunmetal razor.

 

[slantman]

Gabe, I agree with you. Shipping within Europe is less then half the price. But I like the Gun Metal finish and if its really a Muhle then its a good price at $34.

damn thats a great price , 12€ for an R89.

Time to try one i guess
