so it is probably EJ.......

I'm pretty sure it's actually a Muhle head.

I don't doubt it but from what I understood, EJ and Muhle partner in manufacturing to have buying power. One reason their lines have such similarities. Neil and Christian are buddies

I think the made in Germany makes it obviously so. I don't think that's of great importance though, I'm more interested in whether it's identical to the R89 (as it looks?) or whether Gillette did anything at all creative with it. It becomes much more interesting if Gillette did more than attach an R89 head to a chromed pot metal handle.

They added a case. Does it matter if it’s an R89 head if it’s geared at the shaver wanting to dip their feet into wetshaving? It would be the same if all they did was re-release a slim which most people have.

I take it for what it is, to break in people new to traditional wetshaving with a tried and true head (R89). But unless you measure a blade gap between Gillette and R89 you will only know for sure.

Also, this gives the veteran a chance to get a case if they want one. Either way it’s positive.

all i know is EJ and proctor and gamble work together on gillette products like Edwin Jagger says on their website so either its ej or other but the point is gillette recognized the wet shaver which is what was important.

I'm going to buy 1 regardless of who is 'making it'. I'll stick it in my shaving bin and let it sit there for a while. maybe gift it to a family member later in life or see if it'll fetch a little bit of coin! either way, it's hard to pass it up at $35..

It matters only probably to shaving enthusiasts who already own or have used the R89, which I presume includes a lot of people on the forum if not in P&Gs larger market.

As of today, Amazon is listing this razor as "Unavailable". This means it is sold out. I will be surprised if Gillette adds another production run, since it was listed as "limited quantity".

damn, I thought it wasn't available for pre-order until November 1st. oh well. lol

If something sells out that quickly I highly doubt they won't make more, and why wouldn't they?  They are out to make money.  I would guess the limited quantity was just a test run IMO but who knows.
