Edwin Jagger Long Heather DE Safety Razor

Edwin Jagger is Europe's foremost manufacturer of luxury handmade shaving equipment. Every Edwin Jagger product is expertly crafted and hand-assembled in Sheffield, England, a city renowned for its rich industrial heritage and centuries-long reputation for fine craftsmanship.

The Edwin Jagger Long Heather DE Safety Razor (Closed Comb) is a traditional, waste-free double edge safety razor designed to provide a precise and comfortable shave. Manufactured from the highest-quality materials and carefully hand-polished before delivery, this elegant razor features a shimmering pearlized heather-colored handle, complemented by an attractive scratch-resistant chrome finish. The collar is proudly engraved with the EDWIN JAGGER name, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality and heritage.

With an overall length of 101 mm (4 inches), this extra-long safety razor is ideal for shaving hard-to-reach areas such as the backs of the legs and underarms. The 93 mm (3.7-inch) handle is particularly popular among users who prefer a longer razor for improved control, balance, and maneuverability.

Weighing 70 g (2.5 oz), the razor offers a well-balanced feel to help deliver a smoother shave. Heavier than typical disposable razors, it allows the razor's natural weight to glide effortlessly across the skin, reducing the need to apply pressure. This can help minimize nicks and irritation while providing a noticeably smoother shave.

The two-piece die-cast razor head has been expertly engineered to provide a shave that is both gentle on the skin and exceptionally close. The classic Edwin Jagger closed comb head is chrome-plated and hand-polished before dispatch. Highly regarded within the wet-shaving community, this razor has earned an outstanding reputation for delivering an expert-level shaving experience.

Closed comb safety razors are the most popular type of double edge razor available today. The term refers to the relatively straight safety bar, which features subtle grooves along its length. This design limits blade exposure while maintaining excellent cutting performance, resulting in a mild yet precise shave. Because of this balance, closed comb razors are ideal for beginners while remaining a trusted choice for daily shaving among experienced wet shavers.

All double edge (DE) blades are manufactured to a universal standard size and shape, meaning any DE blade will be compatible with this razor. Replacement blades are widely available in supermarkets and drugstores.
