DE86 Classic Double Edge Manual Eco-Friendly and Reusable Safety Razor for Men and Women for Shaving cream or Soap Fits All DE Razor Blades (Imitation Ebony)

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!

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
