RazoRock MJ-90A Double Edge Safety Razor - CNC Milled
What is the MJ-90A? We took the ever popular DE89 razor head, studied it, analyzed all it's positive and negative qualities and made it WAY better!
What did we do and why is it better?
1) Materials: Instead of low-quality zinc-alloy (Zamak/pot metal), we used aircraft aluminum block for the head and 316L stainless steel rod for the handle.
2) Build: Instead of cheap, non-precise stamping/casting, we have built the razor using precision CNC milling, both for the head and handle. The tolerances are superior to the DE89.
3) Design: Instead of having the blade tabs exposed, we have milled the tolerances of the guideposts to precisely hold the blade with very little blade play, meaning the blade tabs can be covered, protecting your precious ear lobes :)
4) Longevity: The DE89 is well known for its threaded post snapping off. Why? Because it uses cheap pot metal and because it's post is spot welded on. Drop it from 12-18 inches and the post breaks off into the handle rendering your $40-45 razor useless and ready for the landfill. We completely milled the top cap from a block of aircraft aluminum, meaning the top cap is one solid piece, no broken posts here!
5) Handle: Instead of using a hollow cheap handle, we have milled our handle from solid 316L marine-grade stainless steel and hand polished it. We have also milled in our RazoRock Halo rings for extreme grip and comfort!
6) Price: Even though we made all the necessary improvements above, it sells for only $39.99! How does this even make sense when the competition is selling a far inferior product for $45-65? I'll leave that with you to ponder :)

NOTE: Please do NOT expect perfection with these razors. Although the quality is extremely high, the razor probably will not be absolutely 100% perfect. They are machined and finished to a very high user grade, not a jewel piece, the odd mark or blemish can be expected and there may be very tiny spots of color variations on the anodizing that arise from where the parts are held in the anodizing process. If you are looking for or expecting jewel quality, this probably isn't the razor for you.
This razor balances well and gives an excellent shave. I like it a lot.
Started in wet shaving with a DE89. Really enjoyed it but always thought a razor with more heft and a bit more aggressive would be nice. The MJ-90A definitely adds these things. Have enjoyed my shaves with this well built razor. Price is great and service was outstanding. Satisfied with my purchase.
After using the RazoRock MJ-90A for a few weeks, I can confidently say that it has surpassed my expectations in both performance and comfort. The CNC-machined design initially caught my eye, but after my first few shaves, I truly understood why this razor is so highly regarded among wet shaving enthusiasts. Its engineering, and well-balanced feel make every shave a pleasurable and effortless experience.
So I was looking for a razor a little on the mild side, not wimpy and not aggressive. I could shave everyday but most times I'll hold off to the 2nd day. So I wanted something a little mild for the everyday shave that didn't irritate my neck area. RazoRock MJ-90A fit the bill. I have 3 razorock razors, each for a different purpose and haven't been disappointed
I have nothing to compare this razor to because I am knew to single blade DE shaving. However, when I went to buy the "best" beginner razor, I found a bunch of reviews that were frustrated with the handle breaking off. One lone reviewer suggested that the RazoRock MJ-90A was the way to go so here I am. This thing, as advertised, is incredibly precise. The parts fit together perfectly and the blade is held precisely where it needs to be. It was so easy to load a blade. I love the machined stainless handle. It looks modern and cool but is plenty easy to grip with wet hands. I like the heavy handle paired with the aluminum head as well. I feel like that combo shifts the center of gravity down the handle of the razor a bit which I think I will like.
I have an angular face and medium/coarse hair that requires a daily shave. I have shaved with a Gillette Fusion 5 Proglide blade for years and that was the best cartridge shave I could get. This razor is no more aggressive on my face than that and in two passes with a Derby blade (and a beginner's lack of confidence) I got the best shave of my life! I wouldn't want anything more aggressive than this for my skin for awhile. If you are worried about the big gap or aggressiveness of this razor at all I would probably get the BBS standard instead.
From a customer service standpoint the the Italian Barber has been awesome. Plenty of info on the site to help me figure out if this was a good razor for me. Fast shipping and free since I was getting kitted out of the first time. Prices as good as Amazon. And I was pleasantly surprised to find a 5 pack of Derby blades in the box with my razor! Thanks for the unexpected, but appreciated, gift!
