Edwin Jagger DES86RCBLAMZ Short Handled Classic Double Edge Manual Eco-Friendly and Reusable Safety Razor for Men and Women for Shaving Cream or Soap Fits All DE Razor Blades (Black Rubber Coated)

Yes, it's true. This is my absolute favorite razor, and yet I'd only give it 4 and a half stars if it were allowed. I love it because of its small and compact style. The short handle (the shortest I've seen on any safety razor) truly does allow for smoother strokes without irritation. The one thing that would make this razor more appealing would be a butterfly loading model.As the picture shows, my razor is well worn. You'd expect that since I've had it for about 3 1/2 years. But the rubber started to wear off long ago - - I'm thinking shortly before the end of year one. So it's because of aesthetics that I'd give this 4 1/2 stars (cheap rubber and no butterfly) and not the functioning of the razor itself. And I couldn't bring myself to lower the rating to 4 stars because of that. I've got the black one. And despite the lack of a butterfly model, I'd have already purchased the ivory one as well if the rubber held up better.Still, for shaving comfort as well as the overall experience of shaving with a safety razor, this one is about as good as it gets!

I had gone through 3 Merkur blades when I finally figured out that these razors were breaking for a reason - poor quality metal. This Jagger razor is simply in structure but so solid. I've had it over a year and still love it. The rubber handle is really nice for precision grip. Pro product. Would buy again and recommend.

Great razor, good value. Rubberized handle a nice feature. Short but not too short. Mild shaves.

Nice and heavy razor with a good smooth angle. It makes shaving quick, easy, and safe. The handle is a little shorter than I'd prefer, but definitely works.

The razor head is great, and gives me a wonderful shave. I started to take off one star for the handle, which is just too short, but I knew it came with a short handle, so that didn't seem fair. The handle is beautifully made, as is the head, but I find it too hard to maneuver. I am keeping the razor, though, and I've ordered a longer handle for it, which I hope will make it just right. As it is, the head gives me a great shave, so it should be a winning combination. I like a mild razor, and I've tried a number of them, including vintage Techs and a variety of 3 piece and TTO models, and this has been the best of them all. If you like a very short handle, this would be an excellent choice. It's still an excellent choice, if you're willing to buy another handle for it.

Like the size as I can shape my beard and stache.

I have to admit that I was worried about getting a safety razor! They were a completely new domain for me!This razor is small but has a long enough handle for good grip. I get a nice close shave and haven't cut myself once. (Just don't press hard!)Safety razors are more ecofriendly because they is no plastic like most razors or disposable razors. The blades last FOREVER compared to normal razors and the blades are much cheaper!Months later, I still haven't had to buy new blades because I'm still working on the ones that come with this safety razor.Excellent buy! Cheaper in the long run, better shave, lasts longer, and ecofriendly. I also feel classy and fancy using this razor! What more could you ask for?!
