This guy!
I blame Monchoon, who just posted that the Titanium Babysmooth was in stock, which I figured would mean the MJ-90 might be in stock as well. So I pulled the trigger.
A little context. I rarely make impulse buys of shave gear, especially razors. It's been over a year since I have bought a razor, and I've narrowed my rotation to 4 after a period of experimentation:
1 Wolfman DC Polished, Standard Gap
2 Muhle R89
3 RR Babysmooth
4 Ikon 102
I have kept these because they all are great shavers, and they all have different head designs/personalities.
I have been thinking the only new DE for me to try would be the Timeless or Progress/Mergress, because its a different head design and gets rave reviews.
I didn't really want to duplicate one of my existing razors, but the head on my Muhle is starting to wear a little in places, and the new titanium handle on the MJ-90 will also fit my aluminum babysmooth. I've always wanted to see how the babysmooth would perform as a heavier razor, but most handles will not fit the head due to its extreme curvature. The new razor will double duty and even if I don't like the modified EJ head, then 40 bucks for a titanium handle is not a bad deal.
Ok, justification over! Will let everyone know how it shaves!
