Edwin Jagger DE86 Black DE Safety Razor (Closed Comb)

Product Review (submitted on 15 September 2016):

I was just about sick of paying daft Gillette replacement razor prices and thought I'd give ol' traditional a go after my step son was raving about it, and this is what I chose as my first razor!

And it's ace! The handle is a little shorter than what I'm used to but loving the weight. The wife said it would "shred my face" but far from it - it's been fine. As the head comes completely apart it's really easy to give it a very thorough clean too.

...and am I missing the "lube strip" and those 4 or 5 other blades? Nah, if anything one single blade is all you need.

Top piece of kit which at some point will become my "travel razor" and I'll buy another with a longer handler I reckon.
