QUOTE(Yushiro @ Sep 17 2011, 09:29 AM) As i said in my long post earlier, the only thing you're going to find here in KL is the Chinese and Indian made DE's which while good as a starter DE, are too light and have too small blade angles IMO. Your best bet will be like the rest of the gang here, order online. Apart from Edwin Jagger, Merkur is a good "New" DE razor to get. Lastly, you could also opt to get yourself a vintage razor. If you need some recommendations, I'll be more than happy to list some  Any idea whats the range of a decent straight razor? I saw that some of them goes up to a couple of hundred USD as compared to the DEs |

After years of using cheap china DE, finally decided to splurge and get my Edwin and Jagger DE razor!

QUOTE(biloxee @ Nov 12 2016, 08:19 PM) Hope you have many good shaves with it. Congrats! It is way better than my cheap China DE razor i got at Masjid Jamek. But a little too mild to my liking, I am using a Kai feather razor on this. Perhaps I might need to look for an even more aggressive blades for this. I could barely felt my beard getting shaved and have to check a couple of time to see if it was really shaved. Maybe I am too used to those harsh shave I got from cheap razors and china DE.  |

QUOTE(biloxee @ Nov 13 2016, 06:09 PM) The DE89 is a medium aggressive razor so you're not really meant to feel the blade. Tried shimming it? What is shimming? But, if you like an aggressive feeling razor then try the Muhle R41. I will stick to this razor for the time being, this is more of a necessity than a hobby to me. Just want a nice shave with the lowest cost possible. I have been shaving this way for years, going through couple of cheap shavettes and china DEs I get from Masjid Jamek. Finally get a nice comfortable shave from a premium DE, really made a lot of difference. It felt alot more comfortable and luxurious! |
