Maggard Razors DE Safety Razor MR7 Stainless Steel, Handle Only

I bought this for my EJ DE89. Love that razor but wanted a longer handle. Searching the internet, I came across Maggard Razors. Reviews looked good and the price was right so I went with it. I’m glad I did, this handle worked perfectly with my EJ razor. Initially there was a problem with the shipping, not their fault in any way, USPS was slower than expected. When I emailed Maggard's I received a very quick response from Jerick. All I can say is my customer service experience was exceptional! Jerick is an absolute professional. He responded to all of my emails quickly and offered solutions if the order continued to be delayed. I’ll be a customer for life, and I’ll be referring my friends and co-workers.

Very comfortable, perfectly balanced and grippy handle. Used it for a long time with my ATT SE1.

I reviewed the MR18 earlier and said that I liked it somewhat better than the Ikon OSS because it was thinner than the Ikon and has the large knob at the end. Well, this MR7 is the same thickness as the MR18 (in the shaft area), but has no knob at the end. So you might think I like it less than the M18, but that is not correct. I like them both about equally. The extra banding on the MR7 helps you grip it (much like the Ikon bands) without the thickness of the Ikon, and, as another reviewer mentioned, the knurling seems somewhat deeper than on the MR18 (very similar though). But the knob on the MR18 is a good gripping arrangement too. So it is a toss-up for me between the MR18 and MR7. I say get both! You can pair up a Maggards head (I like the mild V3M) with one of these really nice handles, and you have a great razor. If you feel like splurging and getting a very mild head, you can get the Muhle R89 Replacement head (which is essentially identical to an Edwin Jagger DE89 head - what a great thing to offer to customers!).

For last birthday, relatives gave me only the head of the Muhle R-41 (they knew that I don't like the original handle at all!) So I started looking for a handle that had the specifications I wanted and I came across this MAG-MR7 and I must say that it perfectly balances the aggressiveness of R-41 (which continues to exist, ready to return as soon as you make some mistakes).

Purchased the MR7 to replace the handle from my Muhle R89. Weight and length is perfect and the knurling is slip proof with wet hands. Is a great addition to the Muhle R89 as I found the original handle too slippery when you have wet hands. I highly recommend!
