Thread: New DE razor.

My EJ DE89L came in this evening. I am looking forward to my first DE shave in a long time. This is a precision piece of equipment. Not like the old Gillette clam shells I used to use many years ago.

Oh, you are going to love that! I have 2. What a serious piece of art/machinery.

I am really looking forward to it. What impressed me most when I took it out of the box was the quality and precision. My uncle was a surgen and I had the opportunity to handle some of his surgical instruments. This razor reminds me of he quality and precision of those.

Skip,

Congrats!

You're going to have many close, comfortable shaves with that new DE razor of yours. I have been able to convert a number of my friends and acquaintences to DE shaving since last December and they are amazed at the quality of the shaves that they get.

Take care--and smooth shaving

I have been trying to put it into words and you did the best I have heard. It's like a fine surgical instrument.

I don' know if you know this, but the chrome/process is the same that Rolls Royce usues - and boy can you tell!

Mine came last week and its an excellent shave. Especially with feather blades.

Yes I have the one with the barley corn handle. Its a wonderful shaver and very well made.

+1 I've got it with the ebony handle...what a beautiful piece of work!
