When browsing our online store, you may have been wondering, what is the difference between double edge safety razors, Fusion ProGlide® razors and Mach3® razors? Which one is best for beginners? Which one offers the closest and smoothest shave? Which one is most sustainable?

Wonder no more! Our shaving experts at Edwin Jagger have put together this helpful guide to break down the main features and benefits of each razor type to help you decide which one is best for you and your shaving regime.

Double Edge Safety Razors

Our double edge safety razors feature a head consisting of a top plate and a bottom plate, with a single razor blade sat in between the two and then screwed to the razor handle. Whereas some companies offer open comb safety razors, all our DE razors have a closed comb design, which restricts blade exposure for a less aggressive but still highly accurate wet shave. Thanks to the milder shave this design offers, these razors are exceptionally popular with those new to wet shaving as well as experienced shavers who need a quick go-to.

In fact, our best-selling razor overall is the Edwin Jagger DE89 Chrome Knurled DE Safety Razor, which is regularly praised for being a great first-time safety razor. It is heavy enough to stop you getting carried away and cutting yourself while still being light enough to offer ample control and versatility. The unique knurled pattern also makes the handle feel more secure in your hand as you shave.

Perfect for more experienced shavers, the 3ONE6 range of stainless-steel razors offer a lifetime of sustainable and close shaves. Stainless steel is an incredible material that is an integral component in the history of Sheffield. The design of the bottom plate places the blade in a much more versatile position, allowing you to achieve an unrivalled close shave from multiple angles. Despite offering a closer shave, this razor generates minimal blade feel, providing an incredibly comfortable shave albeit less forgiving for new shavers who are still getting used to wielding a safety razor.

Gillette Partnership

One of our proudest achievements during this time is being appointed a “Gillette Trusted Partner”, certifying that all the Gillette® Fusion® and Mach3® razors that we produce use genuine Gillette Parts™. This rare partnership has led to the creation of a huge number of Edwin Jagger cartridge razors to go alongside our popular double edge safety razors.

Gillette Mach3® Razors

As a Gillette Trusted Partner, we have created a huge range of Mach3® razors, combining our most popular Edwin Jagger handle designs with the iconic three-blade system. Whatever your budget, you can find an exceptional Mach3® razor that suits you. We have more understated designs that are in our cheapest price range, such as this Light Blue Mach3 razor, or premium razors with unique designs, such as this Chatsworth Chrome Mach3 Razor.

Gillette Fusion® Razors

If three blades weren’t enough, we also offer a huge range of razors with the world-famous Fusion ProGlide® system, which contains five individual blades. Our Fusion ProGlide® razors come in an array of designs and finishes, from vibrant colours, such as this Orange Fusion Razor, to high-quality metallic handles, such as Plaza Imitation Black Marble Fusion razor.
