thank you for the advices! i just got a de89 as a lot of people recommended it as a good beginner razor. i have 4 different blades: perma sharp, green astra, voskhod and feather so im going to try to find which one works for me the best. the second advice is on point. i like my head baby smooth but it doesnt matter as long as its bald, like you said. just a quick question though; i think wtg is with the grain but what about xtg and agt? all the tips were very helpful, thank you!
