I know some of you may see this as blasphemy. Today I loaded up a sample medical personna into my E&J DE89l and it was ok. Better than many blades I've tried but I prefer my Lords. It gave me a little redness on my neck after only a 2 pass shave. With my lords I get consistently smooth comfortable shaves with 3 or even 4 passes.
I also prefer my Merkur 38C to my E&J DE89l.
