Edwin Jagger is Europe's foremost manufacturer of luxury handmade shaving equipment. Edwin Jagger products are crafted and hand assembled in Sheffield England, a city known for its rich industrial history. The Edwin Jagger Black & Chrome 3 Piece DE Set (Black Synthetic) is a quality shaving set that will set you up for a well-rounded shave.
Featuring the popular DE86 Black DE razor and matching shaving brush, the set is completed with a matching chrome plated display stand.
The double edge safety razor is fitted with the classic Edwin Jagger DE Head, which has been popular amongst the wet shaving community for many years. The closed comb head is expertly engineered and finished with a high-quality chrome plate. It has an excellent reputation for the expert level of shaving it achieves.
Closed comb style razors are the most popular type of double edge safety razor on the market. Closed comb refers to the fact the safety bar, aside from small grooves running along it, is relatively straight. This feature offers what is referred to as a ‘mild’ shave, one that restricts blade exposure but still offers a close and precise shave. The milder shave achieved makes it the perfect choice for those new to using a DE and the go-to for daily shaving for new and experienced shavers alike.
This product includes one free Feather Hi-Stainless DE Safety Razor Blade to get you started. Feather Blades are the preferred pairing recommended by Edwin Jagger as the sharpness of the blade paired with the head offers a comfortable, clean shave. All DE razor blades are a standardised size and shape and therefore any DE blades you purchase will be compatible with this razor.
The shaving brush is filled with synthetic fibre, which is an ethical, vegan-friendly, and affordable alternative to badger hair. The black synthetic fibre retains hot water which, and when combined with shaving cream or soap, can create a creamy lather that emulates the experience of using real badger hair shaving brushes.
This type of fill is becoming increasingly popular as synthetic fibres are extremely resistant to problems associated with lather residue in natural badger hair brushes. They are very firm in the middle, allowing them to retain their shape and they dry exceptionally fast, making brush maintenance easier than ever.
Those with particularly sensitive skin may find that synthetic brushes are a good option as the tips are the softest of any type of shaving brush fill, offering an especially kind and pleasant touch to the skin.
The set is crafted using a specially selected glossy black polyester material and finished off with a gleaming bright chrome trim, giving it a smart and attractive appearance.
