Now this is the sort of analytic response I am looking for, something to give me a basis for comparison along my journey...

I do remember have more ingrown hairs come to think of it. In terms of number of shaves I seem to remember the mach 3 giving more comfortable shaves and for much longer then the newer mach 5 blades, perhaps the newer blades are thinner to fit more in the head.

I have an EJ89 DE I use to cleanup after the straight which I really enjoy too, gives a great smooth last pass with a feather blade.
