I do know of a couple of people on the forum who have not received one quite as nice as this one. They've complained of machine marks and staining. It looks like it's still the luck of the draw.golly gee, it does look nice. nicer then most of the stainless razors that are available. price is not that much better then some of the competition, but just looking at the photos.... the quality of finish and machining actually make it look worth the asking price.
The black handle works well for me, excellent grip. I understand that the birch also has excellent grip, even when wet - same idea as Scandinavian hunting knives e.g. http://www.marttiini.fi/The-right-knife-for-the-right-use/A-firm-grip-at-all-timesI like the way the black handle feels. I did not choose the birch handle because black is classic, and I feared the birch would feel too smooth. Not sure how that holds up in the long term as well.
I emailed Muhle and the response noted that they were hoping for the R96 Jet to be released in early February.Noticed on the shaving.ie website, the release date has been put back to the end of February? Are Muhle having issues with production?

Sorry for the delay, must have missed the notification. Thanks for the info.
I really like the look of it and it seems to be getting favorable reviews.
I've been buying razors which are getting more and more aggressive and I don't think they are doing me any favors.
I'm looking at this and maybe the Hone.
I am really enjoying the Muhle Roca - great shaves every time. For me (and I know that YMMV) it shaves between an ATT M1 and R1. The Roca is very efficient - most days a 2 pass does the business. I have tried with Astra SP and Gillette Silver Blue blades.
I have not tried the Hone, so cannot offer any comparisons. Just had a look at the Hone web site - hell, they look good!
Good luck, I hope you can get one soon!The Rocca sounds like what I'm looking for.
The Hone is very cool. I've been tempted for a while....must resist, must resist.
