So after an incredible amount of research I pulled the trigger and ordered the famous EJ DE89l from QED. I didn't spend as many hours researching my home or truck as I have this razor, since I couldn't find one thread or post that said stay away from this razor I rolled the dice. Now I just recently bought from shoebox the Lord Premium Long Handled Tech, wchich looks great but unfortunately doesn't work for my face. I tried 3 different blades 3 creams and a soap with it but it irritates my face.
The Weishi (chrome) was the first and only DE I purchased. I loved it, still do. Unaggressive and easiest to open of the three I have. What didn't you like about it, Mynorx?
it shaved fine, but the plating started to come off after 4 shaves, after about 2 months of use it looked horrible. the plating had come off and the metal smelled. I paid more than 23 dollars for it including shipping from ebay. I just think the materials quality is horrible, the ej 89l is only 34 dollars and that thing looks like it will last years. the futur I had a prob with the blade gap horrible product for the price.
If the old grey matter serves me correctly, I do believe the "L" stands for "Lined" The EJ89L will have a chrome handle with lines running the length of the handle, were as the EJ89 can be had in black, white, or non-lined chrome handles.
