EJ DE89 and Merkur 34C are very popular here in Sweden as well.Edwin Jagger DE89 or Murkur 34c is what most people in the UK recommend.I've got both and always get a smooth shave.
As always, YMMV...Astra SP are pretty sharp for me..... I would recomend Gillette Wilkinson Sword (India), Woskhod or GSB.
An perhaps he should try Henson AL or KingCGillette (blue package).
Whatever razor+blade combination there is a learning curve... so .... in time it will get better.
Don't keep changing stuff. This dude either learns with what you gave him which is good stuff, or he won't. Some people just cannot! I would advice he go slow and NO pressure and NO side movements. And start doing ONE pass WTG shave.Well, the poor guy sent me a message this morning.
It was a bloody mess, almost a massacre on his face with the Ball End and Astra SS so I think he would have killed him self with a R41...
Hard to beat at that price!!If I can give my two cents, the absolute best mild razor for a beginner is the King C Gillette Walgreens. Proven head, a hefty brass handle and a tuck of the finest blades produced today for around $13 (€10 today with coupon in Europe).

Should have given him a few tips on using the DE. He probably used it like a cartridge razor.It was a bloody mess, almost a massacre on his face with the Ball End and Astra SS...
Yeah. That's about as easy a set up to learn on as there is. Hope he doesn't give up!Should have given him a few tips on using the DE. He probably used it like a cartridge razor.
I gave him a lot of tips and info, and he had already watched a lot of youtube videos on how to shave with a DE razor.Should have given him a few tips on using the DE. He probably used it like a cartridge razor.
Thank you sir@Hak.1963 it is this forum member's humble opinion that you've gone and done a good thing, sir. Despite much Monday morning quarterbacking. Hopefully your guy soldiers on.
But did you tell him to store it inside a Pyramid when not in use?Thank you sir
