Edwin Jagger: Quality Products for a Quality Shave

In the world of razor blades, there are many contenders but only a few stand out. Such is the case with the Edwin Jagger.

Those who enjoy a classic shave both veterans and novices alike have praised how this blade gives them an excellent shave with hardly any jerks.

Despite not being one of the most aggressive razors on the market, rest assured that it can provide a very close shave if you are patient enough to take 3 passes. For example, The Edwin Jagger Classic Razor

Different opinions hold that the DE89 is one of the most beautiful classic razors out there. Its chrome finish extends even to the hidden parts. If its design and its rush are not enough reasons to get one of them, perhaps its cost will convince you.

What can we expect from these razor blades?

If we look at its finish and fit, we are facing a razor with a very high note. The chrome finish of this blade is of great quality, even the parts that are not visible have the same treatment which gives it a smooth and silky appearance. It is difficult to imagine a product for this price with such a quality finish.

The Edwin Jagger DE89 is a three-piece razor and you will have to take it apart to fit the blade. However, the process is quite simple; turn the handle to separate the head and open its two blades, carefully slide and fix the blade at the marks on the top of the head, reattach the handle to the head and tighten.

When talking about how much the blade is exposed we have to refer to the aggressiveness of the Edwin Jagger. On a scale of 1 to 10 this razor is in the middle grade. This is good because it gives us some leeway to experiment with different blades.
