Yes, we are on the same page, I think.

my Stando Perun really pisses me off in that regard. A 100+€ stainless steel razor simply shouldn't catch rust, period. 😞

Yeah, this one is infuriating. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Both PantaRei and Zenith could be good examples for Mühle IMO. Luxury quality, or good value.

It's cool that they even came out with the GS model after the success of the Rocca.

Yeah, it really is. The GS is really well made too, tight fits, good surface quality. For a European made razor, even the price seems reasonable.

I apologize for rambling way too much, but you brought up so many valid points and instigated such a meaningful discussion that I wanted to share my two cents, but instead dropped my whole bank account on you. Sorry 😅

Oh please, this is exactly what we have this instance for 😊

Well, it is what it is with the Perun. I actually digged out my Greencult GC 2.0 out again today due to this. At least that one has a solid plating/finish.

Yep, considering the materials and CNC processes alone, the R41 GS is well worth its price.

Zenith makes really awesome brushes at a very fair price point. PantaRei was just my example of choice as they actually seem to care about a full luxurious product instead of a half-assed job like Mühle's brushes and I knew they also do ceramic brushes (at a third of the Mühle price even!)
