Head for spare EJ handle

I have a spare EJ chrome handle that I would like to put to use by purchasing a head. I love the mild-moderate shaving from the EJ head. I also use a 65 gillette slim in 4-5 setting. Now I just want to have a different razor experience. So I need your help in advising me of a similar head (not aggressive) that is compatible with EJ handle. Appreciate your help !

I will post in the WTB section later to see if anyone has one to sell.
 
I'd go with a Mekur head, like a 33C.

The Merkur-style heads from Lord (LP1822 or Smart) are also very good, and a touch milder than Merks.
 
Merkur 23C (same head as 33C) and 15C (same head as 25C)

Merkur 23C and 33C are comparable with DE89, but more aggressive. Not much.

Muhle (R89 is same as DE89) R41. Although the EJ handle might be a bit too light for R41.

ooops, didn't read the "...similar head (not aggressive) that is compatible with EJ handle." part. So, forget about R41.
Merkur heads are close to DE89 and will give you a nice BBS in fewer passes.
