Edwin Jagger Chrome-Plated Lined Handle Double-Edge Safety Razor

General I have been using a cheaper double-edge shaver for about a year now, I prefer using DE razors for the ease, the price of the blades and the closeness of the shave. Even with my cheap shaver I achieved great results from shaving and thus is why it took a year for me to buy a decent one. In general, for people that clean-shave DE razors are incomparable even for beginners, but the negative aspect is accuracy. Not to say these types of razors aren't accurate to a point but it's much easier to be accurate with common shavers (even cut-throats have ease of accuracy - but I wouldn't recommend beginners shaving with the cut-throat). Edwin Jagger For this razor in particular I have to say it is far better than my cheap one and it is only slightly more expensive than common razors. It is very solid, durable and perfectly weighted. One thing instantly noticeable about this razor is how beautiful it is, once unboxed you will see that the shine is exactly as it is in the picture. The design is perfect, the ridges underneath where the blade sits can store more hair in them than my cheaper one and thus provide scope for double the amount of strokes before discarding the hairs in water - to put this in perspective a typical razor will do you for one or two strokes whereas my cheap DE has two sides and thus does double that of a typical Razor; the Edwin Jagger does DOUBLE THE STROKES OF MY CHEAPER ONE. The top curve provides enough distance for the blade to be angled perfectly with every stroke. The ridges on the shaft give good grip but I imagine if you want to buy the slightly cheaper version without the grip it wouldn't be of much disadvantage to you although it won't feel as good. Free Blades To top off this excellent product you are given some free Derby blades (5) which I have to say are very good. I use cheap ones that are also fairly decent (Supermax blades) but have not used these blades with this shaver yet, I will add an [EDIT:] here soon to comment on if the shave was superior because of the blades or just the shaver. At the moment I shave twice per Derby blade and once per Supermax blade (my facial hair is quite thick and I will get a rash if I use more than this) but I have been told by work colleagues that there are more expensive blades that will last for weeks! Competition I have also seen the "Parker 99R Heavy Duty Barberpole with Butterfly Opening" razor also sold on Amazon which is about the same price. The Edwin Jagger razor is better packaged, better looking and comes with free blades. I have not shaved with the Parker so I cannot comment on it's durability or shave quality but the butterfly opening adds a mechanism to the razor that makes it seem like it could be less durable and takes some weight from the top. It certainly has a different feel to it and the weight balance is slightly less comfortable for me personally. In conclusion am very happy with my purchase, I'm excited to start buying and reviewing DE blades in the future but I want to try a variety first which will take time.

Je me rase "à l'ancienne" depuis maintenant 1 mois et je dois dire que c'est un autre monde ! Les rasoirs multi-lames qui voyagent dans l'espace intergalactique dans les pubs ne rase pas comme les rasoirs de sûreté et coûtent un œil de la tête ! Sa petite taille semble être rebutant de prime abord, mais au contraire, ayant des mains de taille moyenne, le maintien est très bon et se fait naturellement grâce au relief apportées par les lignes; j'ai eu très peu de coupures au 1er rasage (avec des lames shark et savon proraso vert). C'est avec les lames dorko et shark, achetés dans un pack sur amazon, que j'ai le meilleur résultat, c'est à dire une peau de bébé et sans irritation. Je n'ai jamais eu ça auparavant ! En revanche les lames derby (fournit dans la boite) ne sont pas terrible, peu tranchantes et irritantes, mais c'est perso, j'ai une barbe de latin bien dure ! Ensuite c'est un bel objet, dans une salle de bain l'effet est garanti, viril et classe. Et enfin le prix, c'est un rasoir qu'on garde et qui se transmet (si on prend soin de ses affaires bien-sûr) à ses enfants, ses petit enfants et eux-même feront de mêmes ! Pour résumer, ce produit est économique, efficace, agréable et branché ! Et avec amazon l'envoi est rapide et soigné !

The razor is very similar to the Mühle R89 but I really prefer the grip on the DE89! I have had a bit of trouble with the choice of blades though, on the R89 I only use feather blades with extremely close results. When I first tried the DE89 I strangely got quite a lot of "nicks" and irritation with the feather blades but with green Gilette blades I got a close and comfortable shave. I would have liked a slightly higher weight on the razor, but overall a nice little razor with the right DE blades

Rasoio davvero bello, arriva in una confezione piccola ma molto elegante che contiene anche 5 lamette della derby. Preciso che ho ricevuto esattamente il modello indicato nelle foto , con le rigature sul manico. Abituato al mio Merkur 20C forse il manico è un filino corto ma è una questione di abitudine più che altro. Provato con la lametta derby in dotazione e crema Taylors of Old Bond Street ha dato ottimi risultati. Il rasoio non è molto aggressivo ( la testa è identica a quella di un altro rasoio che possiedo il Taylors R89) quindi è adatto anche ai meno esperti, la lametta derby pizzica un pò almeno se paragonata alle astra verdi che uso di solito ma comunque è solo una sensazione sulla pelle perchè non ho riscontrato irritazioni o tagli. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è sicuramente eccezionale, se si vuole passare alla rasatura tradizionale è un ottimo rasoio lo consiglio vivamente. Spedizione nei tempi previsti.

Es una maravilla de maquinilla y es la segunda que compro. La primera me ha durado 9 años y la tuve que retirar por romperse el cabezal en una caída desafortunada. La compré por primera vez por las recomendaciones para iniciarse en el afeitado clásico pero he vuelto a repetir su compra tras 9 años porque es sencillamente perfecta. No es agresiva pero apura y me permite afeitarme a diario sin generar irritación en la piel. La recomiendo muchísimo tanto si es tu primera maquinilla como si ya te afeitas a cuchilla y quieres probarla, no defraudará a nadie. El agarre del mango y el peso son perfectos y el cromado me encanta con ese aire vintage. Eso sí, hay que ir con cuidado con las caidas, algo obvio ya que se pueden redondear los cantos y perder efectividad de afeitado o romperses el cabezal por los tornillos, la parte débil del mismo, pero el cuidado lo debes tener tengas la maquinilla que tengas.
