Happily started out with my Henson and a feather. Rough.
Switched to the RR GC .84 and a Viking Sword (1). Almost the same.
Ditched both for an EJ DE89 with a Viking Sword. Smoooooooth!!!
Now feeling like I should sell the first two.

Excellent shave with the razor paired with this blade! Super laid-back easy, smooth and good efficiency in 3passes for a bbs finish. Good razor and good blade!

Gillette Old Type
Astra SS
Gillette Brazilian Goodwill (right side)
EJ DE89 (left side)
Wilkinson Sword (1st on each razor)
I'm not reordering the WS. I like the plastic pack more than the blade itself...
I'm a die hard fan of the Gillette Brazilian Goodwill, as I've said before. Not only the performance, but looks and feel as well.
However, the DE89 is an excellent razor (at least if you shave every day and your stubble is not as dense). Maybe not very charming, but it really is an excellent razor - easy to overlook (as I did!).

FATIP open comb slant / Nacet (1)
The slant is giving me the impression that it will work with less than ideal blades. I might try something less sharp next time.
