I was using a dollar store Assured DE razor, it did the job and I am new to this so for $1 dollar its wasn't a bad deal. But man, what a difference! Now I understand the difference between mild and aggressive. The EJ89 is a mild razor in my eyes and gives me the full confidence that I will be able to go ATG in the future when I feel that I am there. Such a huge confidence builder compared to the Assured. I would compare the Assured razor to my wife, she is aggressive, if you are doing something wrong she will definitely let you know about it quickly and she will be quick to draw first blood.

Now the emotion part of this, I am SO happy I have found DE shaving and this site. DE shaving gives me something that used to be considered a chore something I look forward to. I am saddened that I haven't haven't stumbled upon DE shaving before in my 20 years of shaving. I feel bamboozled, hoodwinked, snookered by all of the multi-blade disposable companies that have gladly taken my money for a subpar product all of these years. I feel cheated by my old man that he didn't teach my how to shave and I had to teach myself so many things that he should have been there for. I promise you this, if there are any single mothers that are struggling to teach their sons how to shave in VT I would be more than happy to pick up that torch for that young man.

I'm in! I've read so much about this razor, that it's peaked my interest, but yet have pulled the trigger. Thank you for your generosity!

Batchief, the word is piqued, not peaked. One of my pet peeves. Sorry for the pedantry.

I'm so pedantic I had to look up the definition of pedantry!
