. Most of the American sites are merely run as a way to make money off of people selling "artisan' soaps and dishonest business practices.
THe EJ89 and similar are pushed as the best starters for those who are afraid of vintage razors with vintage crud and germs on them.
Slims, Flares, and Techs are pushed heavily for good vintage beginner razors. And they get pushed the most on new shavers.
But so many of those who push them on newbies refuse to touch them. Seriously its funny that they have no problem selling someone a 1966 travel tech with a puck of Williams or a stick of Palmolive for 40 dollars but suggest they use the travel tech themselves and its like you peed in their coffee.
Most of the UK members of TSD are from this forum, and most of the U.S. members here are from TSD. A bit of cross-pollination going on, I would say....The only American forum I frequent is The Shave Den, and I think they are a nice bunch...

As far as THIS site is concerned, EJ and Merkur razors are recommended enough times that a person can get a thought that a merkur or EJ executive runs the site.
That's the first thing you've said in this thread that doesn't sound like a rant.I hate zamak razors. sure I love my two techs but in general I hate the idea. I still go by the old axiom. a razor should last a life time. all my other gillettes already have.
If you are asking me, no, I haven't.I may have missed it, but have you used an EJ89 or Merkur?
Sorry, the question was to the OP.If you are asking me, no, I haven't.
I've recommended them before to newbies, though. Based on people's experiences with those razors...people whose opinions I trust.
