Depends on budget but if you want an excellent shave with options of aggression levels the Rockwell 6s or 6c depending on what you want to spend.
I'm looking for a double edge safety razor.Are you only looking at double edge razors or single edge as well?
I only ask as you mentioned razors that are double edge but posted in the Single Edge razors forum.
I'm not experiences with SEs except injectors. Parker do a decent adjustsble for not much money.
In terms of SEs, slants are quite aggressive for me but I've also found them to be efficient and often get close in areas others can't. The Parker 55 semi-slant and the Merkur 37c (or 39c for the long handle version) are good. Recently there have been posts on here confirming there was a revision to the 37c which would be worth reading if you are interested in a Slant.
Open combs I think are supposed to comb the beard so better for people who don't shave regularly. I personally like the Gillette New short comb and long comb versions. Can't really advise on any modern ones. Perhaps a Fatip Piccolo would be a good choice. It comes with both closed and open comb heads and is inexpensive. The handle might be a bit small but other handles can fit (possibly your EJ 89 one might if it isn't broken).
Just some initial thoughts to start you off.
Others will chip in soon I'm sure.
Do I have to change the 3 platings of the Rockwell during the shave?Depends on budget but if you want an excellent shave with options of aggression levels the Rockwell 6s or 6c depending on what you want to spend.
Yes there’s 6 levels and you flip the base plate so each base has two settings. In practice I rarely swap mid shave but some days need a closer shave than others.Do I have to change the 3 platings of the Rockwell during the shave?
