And yet another vote for the Lord LP1822 aka L6. A cheap but great intruduction in what a DE is about. The Mühle/EJ 89 series are good too, better finished but also more expensive and for the shave not really better though there is the a YMMV involved here. A third choice would be the Merkur 23C/33C or 1904 but they definitely have more quality issues than the Mühles and EJ's and in a way even the humble Lord beats them for quality in my book.
