Just arrived....
Opened the mail box and my EJ R356rs arrived.....too bad I shaved this morning (w/cartridge); hopefully the last time.
The finish is what stands out, clean and mirror bright, a degree better finish than the M38C I examined the other day.
Will keep youse guys posted......Last edited by PaulA; 05-03-2013 at 06:24 PM.

Do you have a selection of blades at home? Surely a handsome razor like that deserves better than Wally World Wilkies... Originally Posted by PaulA

Right now that's all I have, but I expect to experiment with others in time. I grew up using a DE with Gillette razors and blades. Been using cartridges since they first became available. Time to make the switch! Originally Posted by Ryan82
