I have an EJ 89. It seems to be very mild, which is perfect for my face.
I have tried Derby's, Personna, Dorco, Wilkinson and a few
drug store blades. I still have some Feathers to try, but I have been using Astra's for the last week and I am thoroughly pleased. No burn, no nicks, no weepers. Just a comfortable, close shave that beats all previous shaves.
I am face lathering with a $10.00 Omega boar brush and Kiss MY Face patchouli shave cream.
After shave is good old witch hazel, Aqua velva or old spice. My wife loves the old stuff.
I'll still try the Feathers, but I am a little frightened of the reputation of being aggressive.
I suspect my 100 plus order will be Astra's.
How about sharing what your favorite combo is?
