... And down the slippery slope you go!Just ordered the EJ DE89 long as they are currently on offer on their site. £20 delivered!! I couldn't resist lol. I know it's a bit early to buy 2nd razors when you are just starting out, but ever since buying the Merkur I have hankered after the EJ. It just looks the dogs dang........rs.

Yeah, give yourself a nice rest period. The feathers are (blade wise) the ultimate test of technique! I would hang off them for about a month or until you've got your technique more dialed in. If you ever want to check you're following the no pressure motto, just test it with a feather. Although, they are excellent in a more mild razor. But for now maybe just stick to the derby/astra/wilkinson/personna blades. The yellow and grey feather packs are exactly the same blades, just grey is five blades and 10 is the yellow pack. Hope you come to love the EJ, it's a beautiful razor. Happy healingWell I have now received my EJ DE89. It came with silver Feather blades. I thought I would just go ahead with that combo and try it out. OMG, did I regret that. The blade must be a really aggressive one because it was the worst shave I have had so far. I can't stop the bleeding from my up lip and when it does, if you so much as grin it splits open again. I am guessing that I should have used something milder, but i thought it was only the yellow feathers that were the ones to avoid. I will have to give my face a break from shaving for a few days until my upper lip heals properly.
I believe theres two green packs! See nickshaves review series for reviews of both. But I tried the ones he really liked, the Super Stainless, and got an excellent shave from them first shave. They were very smooth on the skin, whilst cutting easily. My second shave with the same blade I found it equally smooth, but far less sharp. But they felt very good on the face, so I'd recommend them.Thanks for that. Really appreciated ☺. Do you know anything about the Gillette 7 o'clock greens? I thought I would try those next time I shave. My initial experience with the derby was not good either, however the 2nd shave was good.
