Edwin Jagger De89lbl Double Edge Safety Razor Review
This Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl is a wonderful and traditional double-edge safety razor that has been fitted with the latest precision Double-Edged razor blade head which makes it popular among men who shave with safety razors. It is also a good razor for sensitive skins, but when using it, you have to leather up with a shaving cream; this will reduce on your chances of getting razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
The razor itself is nice and easy to use because the balance and weight it offers is absolutely perfect. Its handle is a little bit longer than that of other safety razors on the market and this is really a great feature for men who have large hands. However, it requires the user to learn a few steps regarding the proper angle and razor usage in order to reduce on the chances of getting skin irritations. The solid weight of the safety-razor enables it to cut through any thick beard. I recommend it to all men.

- The bad: If you’re a beginner, it might take you a few strokes to learn how this double edge razor works, otherwise, once you grasp the technique, you will be ready to go.

Performance:
If you have been using electric shavers in the past, you will tell the difference between this safety razor and an electric shaver, it does not matter whether the shaver features some high end features, it will not get close to what this DE89LBi does. If you think I’m joking around, try to use it and give us a feedback using the commenting box below. I have read my reviews about electric razors, but most users complain that they can’t get that super close shave, all they get is something close to pure shaving, what a waste of money, yet this affordable tool can do all the miracles.
Badger shaving brush: This is a necessity when it comes to shaving with a razor. You have to use a brush to apply shaving power on your skin before shaving. But at the same time, you will use it to remove hair from safety razor blades, this will keep the razor sharp all the time. However, these brushes come in different sizes and their price differs as well, so its better you opt for what is the best.
Double edge razor blades: Edwin Jagger De89lbl razor uses double edged razor blades but in to achieve a very close and clean shave, it would be best for you to acquire razor blades that are of high quality like derby extra double-edged razors blades.
A good shaving cream: If you want to wet shave, shaving creams are always needed or necessary because they prevent the razor from getting direct contact with the skin. When you leather up with a good shaving cream, it will make the beards / hair very soft, so when you start shaving with Edwin Jagger De89lbl razor, it will move smoothly on the skin without getting stuck, this will prevent any irritations and nicks that might have occurred if you never used a shaving cream.
