Re: Edwin Jagger DE.87

Just ordered a Jagger DE87 on your recomendations.
Did i need another razor? No.
Am i weak and have no will power? Yes.
 
Re: Edwin Jagger DE.87

You will not regret the purchase. I've a DE86, one of the first before the bottom plate was changed, and it puts my other DEs in the retirement home. I've always been impressed with the EJ products quality fit and finish.

I do have another handle on order for the razor from Cooncat Bob, one of his Bull Mastiff Deluxe creations (Cooncat is on B&B and SMF so I'm sure several of you know of his products). We shall see how the balance changes with the additional weight.

I bought a DE87 and sold my Gillette HD Rocket . . . and my Feather Artist Club(!)

Could you post a picture of it with the EJ head? - would like to see what it looks like.
 
Re: Edwin Jagger DE.87

I saw a Black Edwin Jagger De 86 today for £20 .

I assume it is VERY similar to the ivory EJ? I prefer black to ivory.

can anyone confirm how many 'turns' you have to do to get the head nice and tight? It was quite a lot on the black DE 86 that I had a look at. I'm use to only a few turns on a Gillette Ball-end Tech, which has never come loose for me.

Also the head on the De 86 looked very similar to the merkur HD. Is that correct?

I was looking for a mild razor for my tough, dense beard as I'm loving the mild razor + Sharp blade (feather or swede) combo. Admittedly I haven't gone ATG with the Gillette Ball-end tech yet but for ATG and XTG it is proving to be very good.

I'm intridgued by this new EJ razor but get the feeling it#s not that different from a merkur HD ...

Many thanks guys

It takes thirteen full rotations to unscrew the head of my EJ89L - hope this helps.
