Edwin Jagger Long Pink DE Safety Razor (Closed Comb)

Product Review (submitted on 17 January 2020):

For a long time I have been frustrated at the cost of replacement blades for a standard razor with disposable heads. Not only that, but I hated every time I had to throw one away as they are a lump of plastic with sharp metal inside. The thought of that laying around in landfill made me feel bad. I was looking at a traditional razor as a gift at Christmas for a guy and thought, why can't I have one.? Females can surely use for their legs and arms etc? After searching I found this one. I decided to order the disposable blade tin and blades as well. When it arrived I loved the look of it. Now however I feel that a longer handle one would have been better for shaving legs. I was very worried that I would end up cut to shreds using such a razor and was very tentative at the start. I was soon aware that it was very unlikely I would cut myself with it. Takes some time to get the correct angle but when you do it is a delight to use. The thought that I will no longer be throwing away disposable blades but instead able to put in the recycling at the end is so much better and far cheaper, I had a lovely smooth shave and no cuts. Unlike when I used a regular razor! I would like another but with a longer handle and maybe with a better grip as I found my hand slipped when soapy making it a little tricky.
Best thing I did was to buy this razor.
