Edwin Jagger DE8911BL Ball End Safety Razor is a three-piece double edge razor made by Edwin Jagger in Sheffield, England, with a smooth chrome-plated handle finished in a distinctive rounded ball end cap. It shares the same closed comb DE89 head used across Edwin Jagger's DE8 range, giving a mild to moderate shave that suits both new wet shavers and those with more experience. A Feather Hi-Stainless DE blade is included, so it is ready to use out of the box.
The handle is slightly heavier than Edwin Jagger's original DE89 design, with more of the weight sitting toward the head. This lets the razor do more of the cutting work itself, rather than the shaver needing to apply pressure. The ball end shape and smooth chrome finish give a comfortable, secure grip, with the Edwin Jagger name engraved around the collar.
Being a three-piece razor, the head separates fully from the handle for blade changes and cleaning, and it takes any standard double edge blade. It is a practical option for anyone starting out with a safety razor, or for an experienced shaver who wants a dependable, well balanced chrome razor to add to their rotation.

Great razor
I bought this EJ a few years ago for myself. It gives me the BBS and quality of shaving is comparable with some of my best straight razors. Since then, I showed it to some of my friends and all who have seen it, immediately wanted it. So, in the short time I ordered some 7 pieces to my friends and they are all delighted with the quality and affordable price for such a gem. Highly recommended.

Perfect
Just got this razor today and had a fantastic smooth non aggressive shave. Used with a Astra SP blade, Proraso shaving cream & then Proraso After Shave Splash, the perfect result.The weight of the razor is also just perfect.

Superb razor
A truly great shaving tool! I'm a newcomer in DE shaving, I was using a cheap Chinese razor during 2 months before I bought this EJ. And it's much better than any cheapies. It gives me a gentle smooth shave and looks nicely.
