To German users: Which is better quality, Timor or Mühle?

I had a short time both, from shaving comfort, I liked the R89 better. and the Gentle Shaver had to leave.
I'm Austrian, but I'll chime in nonetheless 
In my opinion the Mühle is on another level. The thread is now made from brass, which should improve stability & durability.
As for the shave itself: the gentle shaver is just that: a very very gentle shaver. The Muhle (R89), while a mild shaver as well, brings efficiency to the table.
There is a reason Timor isn't talked about much overall in the shaving world. Just isn't that efficient of a shaver, albeit the built quality being above average for a zinc alloy razor.

Thank you, and thank you for responding on your local forum also! I should have said germanophone or something like that, I know these things hit your market earlier
Will contemplate more, would like to hear some more experiences.
Thanks!

Which Timor are we talking about? The stainless handle Timors are nice but the Gentle Shaver is a rebraned Weishi, I believe.
Id have to go with Muhle. Ive owned quite a few R89s and a couple R41s and theyre always nice razors that have flawless chroming.

The Gentle shaver, but a three piece one with a stainless steel handle.
Another pro for Mühle: more affordable. I believe for the price of a Timor you could get the R96 Rocca, which is completely stainless steel.
Timor Gentle Shave is at 30€ so compare it to the R89. Both come in great quality.
It is in the end down to what you like. I feel that the Gentle Shave gives me better smoother shaves also closer thatn R89.

Depends on the Timor razor. You get less expensive razors that are in the range of R/DE89 34c
