I am not suggesting what to buy next but I will tell you what I bought after my MÜHLE R89, (which is basically the same as the EJ 89).... ..a MÜHLE R41 and I loved it and still do, BBS in two passes .I could use some advice please. I started out using a Wilkinson Sword Classic which was horrendous and sent me back to cartridges for a while. Then I decided to try again and bought an EJ DE89 a couple of months ago. I really like the quality of the finish but am finding it a bit too mild and I'm having to do three passes to get a really smooth shave which then irritates my neck.
I've read about shimming and will try that later today but Is there another razor I should be looking at?
I like the idea of the adjustability of the Parker Variant/Rockwell 6c but have also looked at Chinese copies of the Merkur Futur (QShave), etc etc.
The choice is bewildering.

What would you guys recommend?
What blade are you using with the DE89?
I've tried a sample pack which included 2 x different kinds of Gillette 7 O'Clock, Shark, Astra, Perma Sharp & Feather.
Think I prefer the Astras the most.
Reprint!! Shave Shack, not Shave Lounge.I bought a Journeyman from Shave lounge, it's one of their own brands though I'm not sure who makes it for them. It's a bit more aggressive than the ej and I've never had a bad shave from it. A factory second is under a tenner and I've not regretted taking a punt on it.
