Gillette to release NEW DE razor for the holidays....

Just finished a three pass shave and it wasn't the worst thing ever. By no means is it my top razor, but I actually enjoyed using it. I guess that means I should get a DE89??? 🤣
 
If you notice, the official instructions from Gillette themselves is says rinse with cool water. There you have it. You're supposed to do cold water shaves. Case. Closed.
 
Mine arrived last night and I shaved with it this morning. The Heritage + Gillette Platinum took off 4 day's growth with zero problems.

I have two EF DE89 type razors. The Heritage head appears to be exactly the same dimensions when compared side-by-side. The razor is light. The handle is comfortable. It gave me a great shave today.

I think this is a good value for the price I paid. I hope that sales of it encourages Gillette to produce more DEs for the US market in the future.
 
Nope.... not today. Now a new message. If not here by Thursday I’m to request a refund or replacement. Gents, I’m feeling genuinely jacked around!

Mine shows being delivered tomorrow. Tracking shows actual movement from Georgia to Kansas, so I assume mine will make it.
 
I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it, you're much more eloquent with your words than I am.

considering Gillette probably doesn’t have in-house manufacturing capabilities, I think they contracted and selected pretty good components. It’s heavier than Vintage techs and the head (Muhle R-89?) does a pretty good job on the business end. I hope they make this at least an annual thing.
 
Glad you got yours Rich! Mine came in yesterday. Don't think I'm going to use it. Just want to keep it mint, in my display case. Only thing I'm not terribly happy with is the quality of the paint on the signature.
