Thread: Next razor

I've been wets having for a little over a year now. Been using an ej de89 I think. It's a highly recommended beginner razor and now I think I'm ready to progress. I also have a parker shave the I use occasionally.

The number one problem I'm having right now is right under my jaw line. I feel like no matter how many passes I make there is stubble. Maybe something more aggressive is needed?

What do yall recommend as a next DE razor? I like the butterfly style i# that matters haha

Can't get closer than a straight, but if you are looking for a DE, you might want to consider a vintage Gillette Fatboy, slim, or black beauty, all adjustable, and butterfly.

like posted above a vintage Gillette FatBoy or Slim would be my next if i was you .. they both have the butterfly heads and a dial to adjust the aggressiveness ..

on a side note when i use my DE i noticed that a few strokes from chin to ear and ear to chin always get that little bit of stubble under the jaw line , dont know if you have tried that approach but it works for me ... good luck !

Fatboy or slim are good razors as mentioned, The Muhle R-41 is a current production razor that is reasonably priced and more aggressive will be more or less the same balance as the EJ89L so easy step up,

I believe a Fatboy Slim could be your next Weapon of Choice...

anyone...?

anyone...?

I have the same problem with the jawline area, Parker 24C does the best job of my EJ89, Parker 22R and 24C. I find that opening my mouth drops my jaw bone down and gives me some tension to the skin that would be directly under the jaw bone with my mouth closed.

Any one of the Slants...
The Merkur 37c would be a place to start..
