Edwin Jagger DE89L Lined Detail Chrome Plated Double Edge Safety Razor

I'm in my 50's,and up to now, I've never thought of using a double edge safety razor, to be honest, having seen my grandad and great grandad using them, i always thought that they would a bit more dangerous than disposables or cartridges razors, you know, more likely to cut yourself, but i was wrong. I have two different cartridge razors and a electric wet and dry shaver, but the price of the replacement cartridges for those is a bit of a joke, sick of paying £16 to £20 for those, so, after a bit of investigation into safety razors, i decided to buy this Edwin Jagger exclusive to amazon safety razor, and what a revelation, so pleased i did. On opening the box up, and putting the razor together, i thought that the handle was a little short, but it's not been a problem for me, i can hold onto it quite comfortably, i don't have small hands, but i don't have giant hands either. Onto the shaving, i decided to buy the whole kit, brush soap etc, i got Proraso shaving soap in a dish for sensitive skin, it had good reviews, anyway, with a little bit of trepidation, i soaped my face up and proceeded with the shaving, and what a revelation, no need to be nervous about using this razor, no pressing, just let the razor do the work, after the first pass, the shave was easily as good as a cartridge razor, gave my face another soaping, and went over again, and I've got to say it's the best shave I've ever had, no nicks or cuts, and a really close shave, absolutely no need for any worries on that front. And the price i paid for this was actually less than a pack of cartridge replacements. Yes, i know i will have to buy blades for this, but you can get 100 for a fraction of the price, and, they're easily recyclable, being as they're all metal. To add, i don't shave every day, 2 or 3 times a week, and i don't have coarse facial hair, so for me this razor is great, for others, i wouldn't know, but if you are looking for a first double edge safety razor, from my experience i would 100% recommend this, a nice size, nice weight, good looking, easy to use razor, well made.

The first thing I should say is that the razor I received has vertical lines on the handle (not a knurled finish as advertised/pictured here). BUT it is still a great razor! I was genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised with the quality of this razor. Right out of the box it looks and feels far more expensive that it's modest price tag would imply. It's obviously very well made. The finish is excellent. The chrome plating is absolutely flawless. The weight is good (despite what another reviewer has said). It's well balanced and although it is a little bit top heavy I personally think that's a good thing as it helps you to "let the blade do the work" rather than applying unnecessary pressure while shaving. I have quite large hands, but I still found the handle to be a decent length and comfortable to use. I switched to using a vintage traditional straight razor a while ago, but occasionally when I'm in a hurry I've had to revert to using my old Gillette Fusion (which I hate as it irritates my skin). So I decided to invest in an inexpensive DE razor for those occasions when I don't have time to shave with my straight razor. I have to say this razor has provided me with some of the closest and most comfortable shaves of my life. I really could not believe just how smooth this is and I find myself opting for this now as often as my straight razor - even when I'm not in a hurry! I use Wilkinson Sword blades, but really that's just a matter of personal preference. As you would expect, this razor accepts any standard DE blade. Used with a good quality Best or Super Badger Brush and a quality shaving cream such as Taylor's it will give you an incredibly close and comfortable shave. If you're still using a multi blade razor such as Mach 3 or Fusion, do your face a favour and switch to one of these. In the long run you'll save money and right from the first shave your face will thank you for a very close, smooth shave and the lack of razor burn. All in all, this is a great "beginner's" Double Edge Safety Razor (although I'm sure seasoned wet shavers would also enjoy using this too). It's made in England, is an absolute pleasure to shave with and at less than £30 it is truly excellent value for money. Well done Edwin Jagger!

I decided to give "proper" wet-shaving a try back in early 2020 (accompanying the obligatory new facial hair), and plumped for this Safety Razor without too much thought, given the apparent value. As it's only just given up the ghost (thread gone) 3 years later and it's served me well, I think that's pretty good going! Pros: * Easy to use (though I can't speak for those who've never wet-shaved) * Easy to handle and manoeuvre - the smaller (7.5cm) handle turned out to be a surprising positive here. It also makes the razor a very easy traveller that goes in your sponge bag (obviously wrapped in something!) The knurling may be standard, but it's very effective. Never lost grip while shaving. * Safe during normal use - I hardly ever got any nicks except when rushing too much on angles. * Pretty easy care and looks good - in early days when I was more methodical about washing and drying it it shined up really nicely. Even when I became more lazy it looked OK - and it's really not difficult. Who knows? May have lasted even longer looked after better. * Easy to change or rotate blades. I can't compare with more advanced mechanisms like butterflies yet, but it's really not hard or dangerous given a little thought and care. Cons: * Quite tricky to clean out well during use, even with good water pressure on the tap flushing straight through it. There may be a technique, but my suspicion is that this is the down side of closed comb razors overall, unless they're quite expensive maybe. * Er, that's it! Definitely worth a punt in my opinion. I recommend getting a stand for it, as that clearly helped maintain it - I got the QShave Deluxe Chrome Razor and Brush Stand Holder (also Amazon).

Efsane, yüzüm çok hassas, özellikle gırtlak altı her tıraştan sonra 5-6 yerden kanıyordu, taraklı pearl marka bı tıraş makinesi kullanıyordum, taraklı makinelerin en büyük özelliği aralıklı tıraşa Uygun olması,ama 8-9 günlük sakalı bile zor alıyordu,bu makine taraksız olmasına rağmen 5-6 günlük sakalda hiç tıkanmadı, gırtlak altı tertemiz yüzü hassas kişilere tavsiye ederim

Great product. Very premium.

This is the most efficient razor I have ever used. Gives BBS shave without any razor burns. Built quality is superb. This is an investment for lifetime.

Effectiveness: 5/5 – Works well and hasn’t fallen apart yet with over a year of use. Price: $$/5 – The price is above average for a safety razor on amazon. Ease of use: 5/5 – Very easy to use and setup; just unscrew, place the razor in, and tighten back up. Quality: 4/5 – The quality is really good. The metal head has a nice weight to it and looks high quality. The plastic also feels and looks high quality. My one complaint is that the provided razors and the internal parts of the safety razor seem to rust easily. Design: 5/5 – The design is great. The weighting feels nice in your hand. It is easy to clean the hairs off. Packaging: 4/5 – Elegant but not very environmentally friendly. Strengths – Effective Weaknesses – Derby razors rust easily Worth the money? – Yes, this is a durable and effective safety razor. Summary: 4.6/5 - Overall, I would recommend getting this safety razor. I have had it for over a year and it still works well and looks new on the outside. The price is a little bit higher than other safety razors on amazon, but it is worth it for the quality of this one. The razor is easy to install all you have to do is unscrew the handle, place the razor in, and tighten it back up. The plastic feels high quality and so does the metal. The design is great, I like the weight of the razor head. The biggest downside to this razor is that the provided derby razors seem to rust easily. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!!
