Three weeks ago, a good friend was saying how after 4-5 years of wet shaving, he decided to revisit his first razor with an EJ head. This is one of the most highly recommended starter DE razors, but mild, also. He said he was surprised just how good the razor was after all these years, and gave a smooth, close shave.
I, too, learned with an EJ razor, 6 years ago, and although I sold it long ago, I came across a spare EJ head I had obviously bought at the time. This morning, matched with a Feather blade and an iKon handle, I decided to put it to the test, myself. I am predominantly a straight razor user but have a Merkur 1904(42) for back up and occasional use. Whilst I would still class this head as more aggressive than the EJ, the smoothness of the EJ over the Merkur was very much apparent. Result - a very close but, also, a very comfortable shave. I guess with a few more years' experience, the EJ was likely to perform better than in those earlier days, but I was surprised just how much better it seems to be over compared to those early days.
