DE arrived!!

[warhawk]

Having used the 37C a lot, my own opinion is that it isn't really aggressive.  It's more efficient than aggressive.

So, it would be better than a 34c or EJ? Less passes?

From my experience, I don't judge a razor by the amount of passes.  I will say from my experience that although the EJ89L is a great razor; I get better shaves with the slant razor most especially on the head shaves.

Keep us posted with pics of course.  Be prepared to have a great shave with the 37C.  I like to pair my 37C and 37G with a Feather.

Which is better the 34c or 37c?

I have read that the 34c is very close to the EJD89L

Which is better the 34c or 37c?

I have not tried out the 34C but I have many friends who have and they love the performance of the 34C.  However, since you have the EJ89, I would go with the 37c because it is a slant.  Slant razors are a different class but itself because of the "slanted" blade alignment.

Since you are already comfortable with DE shaving, I would go with the 37c.  They say it is aggressive but it is not.  Most 37c or slant users will say that it is a very efficient razor meaning it mows your whiskers with ease but in a very smoooooooth way!!!

I have been reading a lot about the 37c. I think I will have to order one of those also in the near future.

Goatee...stay with it brother.
In my experience with Wetshaving with a DE, the most common problems for skin irritation are Razor Pressure and Going over an area too many times without adequate lather, and Blade angle.  A good slick lather will certaintly help in protecting the skin...On the Dome as well as the face.

RE Blades:  My skin doesn't get along with the Feather.  YMMV  I get alot of skin irritation with the Feather.
The blades that work well for me in all my razors are Gillette Silver Blue, Polsilver, Astra SP, Voshkod, and Israeli Red Personna.
A good idea is to pick up a sample pack of blades.  One blade that works for me, may not work for you.

You have a good set up...The EJ DE89 is a great razor.  
Shaving with a DE is all about technique...and technique takes time.  Hang in there and stay with it.
All the best,
Paul

I'll add the 37C to the wish list. I just got my E3 Fatboy so I'm eager to try that beast out.

I also got 37C in my Amazon wish list. Also I recently got a E 4 Fatboy and love the razor.

I'd like to own a slant... may have to wait until the Razorock Stealth goes into mass production.
I look forward to reading how you like the Merkur slant

I've been hunting for one in my desired price range for a while and now that I have it in hand I feel like I got an absolute steal. I paid $81 on eBay, it came with the case. The description said used, so I was expecting some rust spots and soap scum build up, but it's in great condition (no rust or deterioration).
