Multi-blade razors
Discussion
I haven't had my Amazon order yet, but the wife surprised me with a Parker R89 for Valentine's 
Popped out and got some blades for it, and have just had my first DE shave.
Not as close as my Mach 3 Power, but I think that's just down to my technique. Nicked myself a couple of times on the left side of my neck (whilst shaving with my right hand), so practise is definitely required.
However, now I have the Parker, and the EJ is on the way, what do I do? Do I return the EJ, or is this the start of my razor collecting journey?

Is anyone able to suggest a good brush to start off with? There's a huge variation even just from Kent brushes they range rom a few £ to over £100

That's more of a firm cream/softish soap.This stuff does the bizz, tub should last two or three months....
A lot of people find that the Proraso cream in a tube is a lot more user-friendly.
Okay, so I had been using Derby blades which came free with my Edwin Jagger razor. I wasn't getting on too well - I'd end up with a very close shave in places, poor shave in others and lots of blood on my neck.
Today some Personna Platinum arrived and I used one. Completely different! I got a good shave with two passes and no blood anywhere.
It leaves me wondering why EJ would send out blades with their razors that will not provide an enjoyable shaving experience.

t, but their razors sell very well. Just found this nice ceramic rest on kickstarter for a DE razor https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/217930559/sha... plus he has a range of other shaving items you can back. Nice to see something a bit different so I've got for a black stand to contrast my silver handle.
Got my Amazon order today, so now I have two razors I looked at returning the EJ, but Amazon want to charge me £6 delivery to send it back which seems a bit much. I'm sure I could send it back for much less than that, so I'm going to keep it as a spare.
I'll be lathering up for my second DE shave this evening, and then shrieking like a little girl when I apply the styptic pencil!
