Today I shaved with my first safety razor, the EJ89. Seemed to be a good mild razor to start with. It came with the Derby extra blades and at first I was a little nervous of finding the right blade angle, but when i started shaving my cheeks, it was extremely easy to stay consistent with it and the only part I had a little trouble was my neck where the hair grows in several directions. However, I did experience more than usual irritation on my neck, hopefully it is because this is my first time. Other than the irritation the shave was so much better than them mach 3, no tugging or pulling, and surprisingly no nicks or cuts. I plan to stick with the Derby's until I run out then might try some Red Persona's or maybe Feathers
Overall though it was an excellent start to DE shaving
