So I put my EJ against my Gillette fatboy. Here were the fairly unscientific terms. I like the EJ just slightly better with the feather but I can get by with an astra just fine. The fatboy works fine with the astra. I decided to give them both fresh blades with gillette getting the astra and EJ getting the feather and do the full face prep and do back to back passes with one razor doing a pass in an area that is next to the other razor pass. I alternated each razor 4 times and did the rest with the fatboy. It seemed to be the winner.
Next I want to try this with the same brand blades so Ill drop a fresh astra back in the EJ tomorrow. I thought this back to back would eliminate some variables. I also alternated which razor started where on each side of my face. For example I started the EJ under my left ear and alternated and started the fatboy under the right and alternated. The Fatboy worked so well I ended my experiment and did the chin and mustache with the fatboy.
other info: used razorock xxx, parker badger and had the gillette set to 5.
The contenders in the lather bowl:
Thanks
