Muhle or Edwin Jagger model 89 razor head vs Weber Polished Head SB razor head

[shawnsel]

Which razor head feels/behaves more aggressive to you?

• Muhle or Edwin Jagger (EJ) model 89 razor head
• Weber Polished Head (PH) standard bar razor head
• They feel equally aggressive to me
• I haven't used both razors
• I'm not sure

With what razor blade?
Please assume that each razor is used with an "average blade". The rational is that this poll will result in a summary something along the lines of: "usually the average Razor X is more (or equally) aggressive than/to the average Razor Y for the average shaver" ... so we probably need to avoid a ranking that is dependent upon one specific blade.

Can't see the poll?
If you are using Tapatalk or a similarly incompatible browser/reader, and you do not see the interactive poll above (with checkboxes), please feel free to reply to this thread with a one line comment like, "My Vote: Razor X is more aggressive to me".

Don't vote twice!
Please do NOT vote in both ways (reply and interactive checkboxes) on the same poll. However, if you accidentally do vote in both ways, please reply with an additional comment to help remind me to remove your comment-reply vote from the final manual tally.

Reminder:
Even if you already agree with the existing results ... please vote to increase our confidence in the poll!

Why this poll?
This poll is part of a series of polls towards averaging out the subjective experiences of numerous shavers, through model-by-model comparison polls, into a list of Currently-Manufactured DE Razors Ranked According to User-Polled Aggressiveness on a Scale of 1 to 10.

Thank you for your time!

I voted Weber, but it's only slightly more aggressive to me.

 

[Chadao]

I like them both. To me, the Weber is slightly more aggressive...but it also gets my vote by being stainless steel.

 

[Fafhrd]

IMO the Weber is slightly more aggressive and much more efficient. I lost all interest in my Jagger after I got a Weber.

IMO the Weber is slightly more aggressive and much more efficient. I lost all interest in my Jagger after I got a Weber.

+1

I have been watching for a poll I can finally answer! Weber is definitely more aggressive, no doubt in my mind.

 

[GBerry]

Without question, the Weber PH is more aggressive than the Muhle R89.

 

[ElectroMike]

I like them both. To me, the Weber is slightly more aggressive.

Same here, Weber > Muhle 89 in my case.

Wish you had included the Matador Toro Mastiff in the poll.

 

[shawnsel]

Wish you had included the Matador Toro Mastiff in the poll.

My understanding is that Matador = Cadet = Pearl = RazoRock (except SLAB which is unique)

So, these would be the related polls:

• NEW: Pearl/Cadet/RazoRock standard bar (SB) razor head vs Weber Polished SB razor head (closes on 08-13-2014)
• NEW: Cadet/Pearl/RazoRock standard bar (SB) razor head vs Muhle or Edwin Jagger model 89 razor head (closes on 08-14-2014)

• NEW: RazoRock SLAB razor head vs Cadet / Matador / Pearl / RazoRock open comb (OC) razor heads (closes on 08-16-2014)
• NEW: Cadet / Matador / Pearl / RazoRock open comb (OC) vs ATT R1/R2 (closes on 08-16-2014)
• NEW: Cadet / Matador / Pearl / RazoRock open comb (OC) vs Parker SB razor heads (closes on 08-16-2014)

Does that help?

[shawnsel]

On second thought ... does the Matador brand include the standard bar (SB) models?

 

[Cut Throat]

Thanks, Shawn. The Matador I'm referring to is the straight bar.

 

[shawnsel]

Thanks, Shawn. The Matador I'm referring to is the straight bar.

These work then, correct? Or am I missing a model? (I suspect these are what you are looking for, but I am trying to make a thorough list of currently manufactured razors)

• NEW: Pearl/Cadet/RazoRock standard bar (SB) razor head vs Weber Polished SB razor head (closes on 08-13-2014)
• NEW: Cadet/Pearl/RazoRock standard bar (SB) razor head vs Muhle or Edwin Jagger model 89 razor head (closes on 08-14-2014)

Thanks!
Shawn

This poll closes tomorrow!

 

[Mango]

I voted for Weber

 

[Sceptic Pencil]

I voted Weber, but there is very little between them in terms of aggression.

 

[shawnsel]

Final results:
EJ89 has 0 votes
Weber has 36 votes
Equally aggressive has 1 vote

NOTE: All votes in comments above are also reflected in the graphed results.

Conclusion:
The average Weber is (likely much) more aggressive than the average EJ89 ... to the average shaver.


From what I have heard, while the 37 votes cast in this poll probably still didn't quite reach a threshold for scientific validity (where a major company might actually be willing to invest money into a new design based on these findings) ... this is still a pretty good sample size ... and a relatively remarkable consensus among those who voted.

Thank you to all who voted!


Cheers!
Shawn
