I've been using an EJ86 for a few months, it was my very first DE razor. I just couldn't get a good close shave from it; different blades didn't help and I was pretty sure my technique was good.
In fact, it would leave me with lots of razor burn and my face would feel raw unless I shaved after 4-5 days.
I recently acquired a Merkur 34HD and the first shave was an amazing success. A nice, close, BBS shave and no razor burn or irritation.
I was wondering; is it possible for these two razors to behave to differently for the same user? I know blades make a difference, but should there be such a huge difference between razors?
