Feather AS-D2

The AS-D2 is milder then your current razor, only you can now if you're willing to pay the price. I've been shaving with one for over 4 months and I'm keeping it for sure.
Instead of giving a whole explanation you might wanna read this (or use the search for more about this razor):

The feather costs six or more times the amount you paid for your razor but don't expect it to shave 6 times better ;-) It is a very good razor, especially for people who have very sensitive skin.

It is a very mild razor. I was able to get a very good shave with it using the Feather blade but it took more effort using the Astra. Almost impossible to but yourself even with pressure.
Thank you. I think that answers my question. I dont really want anything milder than my de89. I'll keep looking
Don't confuse mild with less effective! It's milder then my EJ86 but it gives wonderful shaves (and I don't have sensitive skin and heavy beard growth, even after a BBS shave 5 hours later you can see my stubble again).
Have you looked into a Weber razor? Not terribly expensive but a fantastic razor in stainless steel. There are lots of other options of course, you'll have to read a lot of reviews to get some idea what might be a good choice for you, success!

I have the DS-2. Upgraded from the DS-1. The DS-2 is more aggressive and smoother than the DS-1 razor. Still less aggressive than the EJ89. I find a single pass with some touch up is plenty good for daily use with the DS-2.

I actually gave up my EJ89 for a Feather SS DE and never looked back... excellent shaver. One of the best. Recently upgraded from the D1 to the D2 and have been shaving with both for a few weeks now, one on each side. To be honest I cannot tell the difference, they shave identically.
The Feather will give you a much better shave, closer and with less irritation, hands down.

I understand that your hair grows in random directions but 6+ passes is a whole lot, I think anybody would get irritation after 4 passes with a EJ. Either your technique, preparation or blade might be a bit off. Also this might help to map the growth of your beard: http://www.pbjsite.com/shave/whiskarmap/

After being ripped off with the ASD1, I swore Feather would never get anymore of my money. That thing was so mild, I don't think you could pop a balloon with it. What irked me was, I'd read rave reviews before deciding to get one...so now I no longer trust the reviewers. The best place to get your information are the shave forums, gleaning what the masses feel about what you're researching.
Use it with a Feather blade for a smooth shave.
How did your first shave go? I got mine... A few months ago and its my everyday shaver, its a beauty!

Can someone explain what a mild vs. aggressive razor is?
