Sub $100 / Quality Razor / More Aggressive than DE89, Less than R41

[Chad]

I don't drive and never have. The DE 89 is clearly a Giant bicycle. A step up from the cheapies on the market, feels quality but suffers when compared to the top shelf stuff. But function wise it will still get you to your destination but no one is really going to look at your bike more than one glance.

The RazoRock Lupo (aluminium) is astonishingly good/good value .

I love the look of my de86

I am contrarian on the GC84 as I hated the positive blade exposure. It was uncomfortable and a bit harsh for my skin.

The Rockwell 6S on 6 is much better and the Karve D plate is even better!!

Or the good old Merkur Progress. Still one of my all time favorites!

What is the 86 like vs the 89? is it just a different handle or is the head different also?

Purely a different handle mate.

• DE86 is black
• DE87 is (faux) ivory
• DE89 is chrome plated

Ahuh.. so no difference apart from colour.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to call them all the same model number followed by a colour?

Done a great job at confusing me!

From the EJ Website pages for each model - The handle length of the razor is approximately 85mm, with the overall length of the razor measuring approximately 93mm.
