" ... The feel of the razor in your hand is fantastic, very balanced. ... I hold it under a bit of warm water before I start shaving. ... "
" ... I finally came to my senses and ordered this razor. ... With very little effort I got one of the smoothest mildest shaves of my life (paired with an Asta SP blade). ... A co-worker of mine recently began DE shaving. ... But the idea of DE shaving brought back a few lost memories of my grandfather and watching him shave with a DE and how his face would be so smooth afterward. ... And now, with the EJ razor I finally came close to that smoothness. ... "
" ... The best razor I own. ... "
" ... It is a very close shave, but without leaving me nicked up like my Van der Hagen did. ... "
" ... Excellent razor for the money ... "
" ... after a little practice, you get a baby smooth shave with the Astra blade. ... "
" ... Gives a nice smooth shave with my Astra Platinum blades. ... "
" ... But this is definitely a great razor. ... "

" ... The best razor I own. ... Zero nicks, cuts or anything else. ... "
" ... I will get better at using it and it will be a lot cheaper as 100 double edge blades are like 200 edges and one box will last a long time . ... "
" ... The blade angle is much better on the Edwin Jagger Double Edge Safety Razor (long handle). ... "
" ... Excellent razor for the money ... "
" ... Get used to it before switching to a double edge safety razor. ... I bought ASTRA Platinum fur my blade choice, and it is fantastic. ... "
" ... Very well made razor and coupled with Feather blades it cuts silky smooth. ... The razor is very forgiving and you do not have to worry about cutting yourself at all. ... "
" ... The length is just right, the weight of the razor feels great in my hand, and the ease of moving the blade across my face is uncomparable. ... "

" ... The result would be crooked edges with one edge sticking out further than the other. ... "
" ... I was changing the blade and as I went to screw the head on, it snapped off before I even got the thing back on. ... "
" ... The weak screw shaft of the head didn't hold and the top fell. ... "
" ... Like so many others though I accidentally dropped it recently and it broke off at the head screw. ... "
" ... I was happy with this purchase until the curved top broke in two pieces. ... "
" ... To set the blade, one must screw the handle down tight into the blade-holding head. ... It no longer tightens up, making it useless, not even heavy enough for a paperweight! ... "
" ... A couple of drops and this the head broke off. ... "
