It is very hard to select a razor for another person. Is you skin smooth or do you have acne, moles, scar tissue, etc.? Is you skin sensitive, is your beard coarse? From personal experience, I found SB razors like the EJ 89 to be hard to use on my skin which is not smooth. I found mild OC razors worked best for me. I need very sharp blades as my beard is very hard to cut. With a Derby, Merkur, Sharp, Astra and many other blades, I get pulling or they won't cut at all. I use Feather, PolSilver Iridium, an occasional Gillette 7 o'clock or Shark. The more information you provide the better the advice you will get. Good shaving. :gl:

matloffm's comments are correct for me, as well....the DE89 was OK, but I needed a Feather blade and ultimately a more aggressive razor. Open Comb may be the answer, but it could be too aggressive. It is not always easy to find the "right" DE and a blade that works! Blade samplers are inexpensive and worth trying. I sometimes use a Weber Stainless with a Bulldog handle and if I use the DE89 the Weber handle helps (shorter and heavier).....lots of choices and options to consider?
