## Description

desertcart.com: Edwin Jagger DES89KN Short Handled Classic Double Edge Manual Eco-Friendly and Reusable Safety Razor for Men and Women for Shaving Cream or Soap Fits All DE Razor Blades (Knurled) : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: 38 month update & original review - As an absolute beginner to safety razors, I picked this Edwin Jagger Kelvin razor as my first safety razor after a lot of research and debate. After hours of reading reviews on desertcart for the Merkur 34C, and the Edwin Jagger DE89.. I decided I wanted something a little less common than the 34C, and with a little more grip than the DE89. This desertcart exclusive Kelvin seemed to fit the bill, until I read about how short the handle was. The handle is about 3'' long, and almost looked almost too short to hold. I read many reviews on how the shorter handle actually increases grip, and is comfortable even for those with large hands. Today was my first shave with a safety razor, and I'm extremely happy to have picked the Kelvin as my first safety razor. I used Astra Platinum blades and RazoRock XXX Shave Soap, and had great results. The Kelvin was easy to hold in my large hands, had great grip even though my hands were a little wet, and seems very well built. This razor is perfect for a beginner like myself, and comes with the same head as the famous beginner razor.. the Edwin Jagger DE89. Today I had the best shave of my life, and I'll never go back to disposable or cartridge razors again. Overall, I'd buy this razor again if mine broke or went missing. ________ REVIEW UPDATE ________ The review above was written in October of 2015, this update is being written on December 14th, 2018. I've thought about getting another razor because the experience with this Edwin Jagger has been nothing but satisfying. Honestly though, I don't see anything being better than this. My best friend is getting one from me for Christmas this year, and he's going to love it. I've shaved every two or three days with this razor for the last 38 months with very minimal cuts and always a smooth shave (using Astra blades, for those wondering). I ordered the knurled short handle option, which helps get a pretty shave below the nose, side burns, and around the edge of the mouth while maintaining a good grip. Finish: 8.5/10 Very easy to clean and polish. The screw threading on the handle is starting to oxidize a bit, even with regular cleaning. Other than that, the finish looks brand new after all this time. Value: 8/10 This was a fantastic razor for the last 3 years, but there are others out there with this price ($35 at time of purchase, and at the time of this writing) that seem like a slightly better deal. Usability: 9.5/10 I rate this 9.5 because it's been the best travel razor I've ever owned. The short handle model is perfect for a small toiletry bag, and I've taken many trips with it. My girlfriend who has small hands uses (steals 😉) my razor and loves using it for her legs.
Review: Don't be intimidated, you can do it - easily. - Want to have a sharp blade every time you shave? Without breaking the bank? Then you may want to consider switching from a cartridge razor to a safety razor. I had no interest in picking up a new hobby or collecting bathroom accessories. I just wanted a consistent shave with a sharp razor, no tugging or abrasion, every single time. After reading many desertcart reviews for multiple safety razors, "beginner" and not, I selected this one as the one to keep and not need a future upgrade. It has been a great choice. The head has just enough weight to shave well without any added pressure. The crosshatching on the handle provides a positive grip even when wet. When you use a light two finger and thumb grip close the the head, it doesn't matter how long the handle is. The assembly operation is positive, the threads are smooth, the plating on all three pieces is outstanding. The blade is angled well and the head size allows close shaving under your nose. A truly fine instrument for this price. There are many articles and YouTube videos on how to use a safety razor, but here's the minimalist version: buy this razor, a package of Astra Platinum blades and a blade bank. Done. Use the shave *gel* you already have or try a shave cream in a tube (Cremo Silver/Birch works well and smells great). Rub it on with your wet hand. My goal is to make my face slick, not create a spa experience. My beard is already clean and softened from a shower. Start shaving on a smooth, flat area and you'll feel and hear the correct angle very quickly, this razor is very forgiving. I only make one pass, just as with a cartridge razor and I have a beard that requires a daily shave. No multiple passes, no multiple directions. That's it. Your goals may be different and YMMV. Hope it helps someone give it a try though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If this is a true Edwin Jagger razor, why is the Kelvin name associated with it? Did the two companies do a design and deal together?**
A: I understand that this razor is a custom design by Edwin Jagger exclusively for Amazon.  I don't know why they named it Kelvin.

**Q: What is the length of the Kelvin compared to the de89?  Thanks**
A: The Kelvin is a little shorter than the DE89 - probably about 1/2" or so.  It is almost the exact same length as the Merkur 34C.  My guess is that the Kelvin is EJ's more direct copy of the 34C.  It's a personal preference, but I like the shorter length of the Kelvin and 34C better - easier to get the right angle in multiple directions.  But they're all excellent razors, and you really can't go wrong with any of them.

**Q: Is this a three piece or two piece razor?**
A: It is a 3 piece razor.

**Q: Is this the 'Extra Grip' Handle?**
A: The Knurled Handle has the best grip
