New to DE - Aggressiveness?

Welcome from someone who was in your position a year ago. Now going to be lots of opinions, but DE89 got me going to give me confidence & gave me great shaves. Then the rabbit hole took over & want to try every brush/razor/soap (that's) ever been made lol.

Got to say me 2 go to razors are Rockwell 6C & Gillette FatBoy.

Good luck & enjoy spending, this DE shaving will save you loads of money you know, lol
 
Many thanks for the continued advice invicta, shaunwistow, fixedwheel, chris.hale and jmudrick!

I've now ordered my DE89 with knurled handle, plus a selection of blades to try.

Hurry up, Postie...
Hello and welcome. The EJ DE89 is a fantastic razor. It was my starter razor too. As you have been advised the combination of blade will impact on the experience. Having said that, enjoy the razor and build your technique up.

You could also check Paul H Films on Youtube. He loves an EJ DE89, and he has videos on technique, blades + really quite interesting.

The EJ DE89 is the razor I am using, it is my first DE and I am getting on great with it. Currently working my way through a large sample pack of blades which seem to be lasting forever, but I'm getting plenty of variety. I'm on the Personna Platinum at the minute which I like and can recommend, although it might be a bit mild for some.
