We are excited to now offer our clients some of the finest handmade shaving accessories available.
Edwin Jagger was established in 1988, and this family-run business focuses on bringing quality materials and craftsmanship to all of their products. Made in Sheffield England, these razors are backed with a lifetime guarantee, so you know they’re quality.
Why choose a safety razor?
Besides looking super boss on your bathroom counter, there are plenty of reasons why you should give a safety razor a try. Not only are these razors good for your wallet, but they are a better choice for your face too. Read on if you’d like to learn a little more about the benefits of these classic shaving tools.
Better for your skin
Most of us start out shaving using a multi-blade razor. They’re cheap and you can pick them up anywhere. But when you’ve got 3, 4 or 5 blades on the go, the first one touching your skin is doing the grunt work. This wears the blade down quickly, and can cause a lot of irritation with every pass. When you use a safety razor, you use a fresh blade every time. This keeps the shave nice and close, and cuts down on skin redness and bumps.
Good for your wallet
Yes, there’s a bit of an investment upfront, but you’ll save money over time. The razors we carry here at the shop range from $46-$51 bucks, and the blades work out to about $0.40 a piece. So if you’re shaving every other day, you’ll be spending roughly $6 a month on keeping that face soft and smooth. Plus, the Edwin Jagger razors have a lifetime guarantee, so you don’t have to worry about replacement cost. This thing should last you forever. Literally.
Less waste
Usually those bulky, multi-blade razors are made of plastic and come with disposable heads. The rubber grips on the handles collect soap and grit, and they usually end up in the bin. Not to mention the heaps of plastic packaging and individual blade covers that go straight into the trash. The stainless steel design on the Edwin Jagger safety razors will always look flawless and clean, and a quick wipe down will have it sparkling every time. Plus these razors arrive to our shop in recyclable cardboard boxes, so there is way less packaging to worry about.
Closest shave you’ll get (at home, anyways)
The fresh, sharp blade will guarantee you the closest shave you’ll get in your own bathroom. Sure, we can get pretty damn close with a straight razor in the barbershop, but the safety razors are definitely the next best thing.
