I have a Muhle as well.It is heavier and has a longer handle. Like many have said before lubrication, quality blade replaced after no more than 5 shaves for me,use Poraso shaving cream with a brush, and let the weight of the razor do the work.DO NOT use a shaving gel!

Merkur safety razor. Youre welcome
I have one and can vouch for the quality and utility of this particular razor. Yeah it is expensive but you won't need to replace it unless you abuse it in some way..

Poraso is about as good as any I have used, and it’s inexpensive as well. I started using the 1000ml economy size Cella a few years back, and it’s super as well. Plus it lasts forever.

Merkur 33C (feather blades) checking in. Feels like same diameter as any other razor to me. You’ll get used to it.

I have a 1973 Gillette super speed adjustable I have used for several years. My wife bought it for my birthday, birth quarter and year. Very cool present.

Any idea for how long?
LINK to a Reddit post 10y ago announcing the AS-D2, but it was not their first razor or their only one. They have been a company producing razors and very fine surgical instruments since 1932. I don’t actually have a link to their history of razors, but I believe they’ve been making handles as long as they’ve been making razors.
About a decade ago, the handles weren’t particularly popular, but their plastic handled TTO has been pretty well regarded as a starter/travel razor (though I never did pull the trigger on the little guy). If you sort by top, the first review is from 2013.

If you are looking for something with some weight. Timeless Razors their stainless razors have some weight to them.

Riverside, After reading you comments (I have used a safety razor for 5 years) I ordered from Stirling Soaps, I don't think I could be more impressed with service or product!!

I’m a huge fan of the Rockwell T2. It’s fully adjustable and have some weight to it.

I tried safety razors and I have to admit I actually hate it.
