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)

5.0 out of 5 starsSHAVING EXPERIENCE WITH A WET RAZOR ByMarc Berrensonon February 12, 2017 Verified Purchase I've tried the Chieftan, the Godfather, the Jaeger. I've experimented with 5 different brands of DE blades. Prior to that I used a Cut Throat razor of excellent quality from an independent website. I've also used both the Feather SS and the Feather DX. My findings are as follows: The Cut Throat or Straight Razor by Ralf Auste was beautiful and high quality. Straight Razor shaving has a substantial learning curve. Once mastered, it is a guaranteed close shave (this is the method used by traditional barbershops). I tried three or four times, and ended up cutting myself to the point where I needed to wait a week before my next attempt (my beard, though, grows very slowly and is not that heavy). I finally gave it up as every shaving attempt with the straight razor was a dance with the blood transfusion devil. There are thousands of videos on line of guys having no trouble getting a close shave with straight razors. It just wasn't worth the blood letting for me to try and get there. The Feather SS was a light straight razor type of shave. It is a non folding razor that takes Feather blades. A very promising system to get a close shave with a well made and designed product. Tried several shaves with this and was similar to the straight razor (CutThroat) but with better results and less blood. Still, with the Feather Blades, there were plenty of cuts. The Feather DX is like the SS, only the blade holder is heavier in the hand and on the face. Harder for me to master. More cuts than the SS. Still, this system, I think, is worth trying, along with the SS, for those who can master it. Learning curve is still there, but not as steep as the traditional folding straight razor. Next was the DE razor. I tried the Jaeger, and both Viking razors (Chieftain and the Godfather). They were all very easy to use, very well designed and high quality razors. The most noticeable difference is that The Chieftain is a butterfly mechanism, which is very convenient for switching blades and cleaning the razor between shaves. The Jaeger and the Godfather are the more prevalent screw top DE razors where one has to unscrew the top of the razor from the handle in order to remove and clean the blade. I have to say, for a guy who started out with a DE shaver (think the original Gillette double edge razor that your dad used), and then moved on to an electric for many years, THE DE SHAVERS OF TODAY, WITH THE APPROPRIATE BLADE, ARE THE WAY TO GO. That said, the choice of blade and the choice of razor will determine what system is best for you. There's no such thing as THE BEST BLADE, nor is there such a thing as THE BEST DE RAZOR. Every person is different, with different skin type, different facial topography, for want of a better word. Different people have different facial hair types, light beards or heavy beards. Fast growing or slow. Curly or straight, etc. One needs to experiment in order to know what combination of razor and blade and technique is best for them. While I still cut myself with all of the DE razors I used, I have to say that it was my fault and that the cuts were easily treated with the use of a styptic pencil and/or an alum bar. The system that was best for me included the use of a Treet Platinum Super Stainless Blade (very inexpensive and made in Pakistan). There are literally hundreds of blades made all over the world. It's almost impossible to try all of them. One can obtain a SAMPLE PACK with some of the most used blades (one blade each of several brands), which is what I did, but I only tried five different brands, and each of those brands was consistently rated high in Amazon, but was also rated "not aggressive "(i.e., perhaps not so likely to result in facial cuts). And it's not totally the "sharpness" of the blade. Some very "sharp" blades are good for beginners (non aggressive) and some are not. . One needs to do some research, and in the end actually shave with a blade to determine if it's for you). My shave with the Viking Godfather was slightly better than with the Jaeger or the Chieftain (which were similar). The Godfather has a longer handle than most, which I grew to appreciate. It is also a non aggressive razor with a Safety Type head. Some razors do not have this type of head. Some are very open (i.e, more of the blade is exposed to the skin). This latter type is more aggressive and takes more technique to get a close shave without cuts. Still, many people with heavier beards or non sensitive skin prefer this type of razor without the safety bar head. Some who prefer this more aggressive type razor will also prefer a blade known for its sharpness and its tendency to cause cuts.(Think the very highly rated Feather Blades). Better technique in shaving is also required of these more aggressive razors. The length and type of handle can also be an issue. The Jaeger razor I used has a very short handle. It often comes in different colors which are slick. Mine was ordered with the stainless steel knurled handle, so I didn't have the slippery problems some people might experience with the smooth handles. It should be noted that in testing each razor, my face was prepared the same: First a hot towel on my face for 2 minutes. Then a scrubbing with Poraso shaving cream (The green tube). Then another hot towel for a minute. Then an application of a quality shaving oil worked into the beard. Then while the oil was doing its thing, I'd prepare my shaving cream/soap with a good quality shaving brush (There are plenty high quality soaps, creams and brushes on the market. They run the gamut on price, but one does not have to spend a lot of money to get a high quality brush or shave cream. They're kind of like smoking pipes. If you want a trendy design or a rare wood or the best quality Boars Hair brush, then you can pay into the hundreds of dollars. A reasonable quality brush can be had for $25.00 to $35.00 dollars, and shaving cream from the bigger suppliers can be had for $6.00 to $20.00). Then an application of the shaving cream (worked into a lather in my shaving bowl), working the lather as best as possible into the skin with my brush. Then a first pass with strokes of the razor downward only. Then a second pass, with strokes upward (some experts say to leave the upward strokes to the third pass or not at all). Then a quick tidy up of the two or three spots that still need a light going over. For many, the above routine takes up too much time and is just a hassle that's not worth it. I respect that. Whatever works for your individual situation is best. I'm 67 and recently retired, so free time is not a problem. I also shave every other day. For me, I could barely feel the Godfather with the Treet blade, even on the upstroke. I could hear the blade cutting the hairs, but the blade going across my face was very smooth and not pulling at all. All the razors I tried were this way, but the Godfather was just slightly better in this regard. I hope all this helps if you're interested in wet shaving.

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 Amazon 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.

Pros + Rasierhobel aus Langlebigem Material + Durchschnittliche Kosten pro Jahr sehr niedriger als Systemrasier + Niedrige Kosten der Rasierklingen + Niedrige Kosten der Rasierseifen + Traditionelle Nassrasur ist gut für die Haut + Keine bedenkliche Inhaltsstoffen (wie z.B. Isopentane , Triethanolamine, Isobutane, PEG-90M, usw.) was alle Rasierschäume in der Dose enthalten. + Gut für die Umwelt; Systemrasier, ihre Klingen u. die Rasierschäume in der Dose enthalten viel Plastik. Dagegen gibt es bei der traditionellen Nassrasur kaum Plastik (Höchstens eine Folie über die Rasierseife!) Cons - Höhe Anschaffungskosten - Braucht mehr Zeit Jetzt aber zum Rasierhobel selbst! Der Rasierhobel mit geschlossenem Kamm, Edwin Jagger DE89, gehört zu den besten Rasierhobeln aller Zeiten! Er legt sehr gut in der Hand. Obwohl ich keine kleinen Hände habe, finde ich den kurzen Griff perfekt. Der Kopf ist der gleiche wie bei Mühle R89. Der rasiert sehr sanft, aber noch gründlich; Der Rasierhobel eignet sich sehr gut für empfindliche Haut. Der Edwin Jagger DE89 ist auch für Einsteiger sehr gut geeignet. Ich rasiere mich täglich. Da ich sehr empfindliche Haut habe, benutze ich meistens den Edwin Jagger DE89 und Merkur 37C. Seit 2015 habe ich den Edwin Jagger DE89, er sieht fast wie neu aus und er wird bestimmt noch viele Jahre aushalten. Man muss den (und generell alle Rasierhobel) nur richtig pflegen. Das heißt nach der Rasur den Rasierhobel aufmachen, Klinge raus, reinigen und trocknen lassen. So wird ein guter Rasierhobel, wie der hier, viele Jahre überleben. Ein Tipp: Einmal pro Jahr den Rasierhobel mit kochendem Wasser reinigen und voilà! Wie neu. Meiner Meinung nach soll jeder, der sich mit Rasierhobel rasiert, den DE89 haben. Edwin Jagger DE89 super sanft aber noch gründlich. Ich kann jedem den Edwin Jagger DE89 (oder seinen Brüder Mühle R89) empfehlen. Der ist ein wunderbarer Rasierhobel.

Beautifully crafted but handle a bit short for me

I'm in my 50's,and up to now, I've never thought of using a double edge safety razor, to be honest, having seen my grandad and great grandad using them, i always thought that they would a bit more dangerous than disposables or cartridges razors, you know, more likely to cut yourself, but i was wrong. I have two different cartridge razors and a electric wet and dry shaver, but the price of the replacement cartridges for those is a bit of a joke, sick of paying £16 to £20 for those, so, after a bit of investigation into safety razors, i decided to buy this Edwin Jagger exclusive to amazon safety razor, and what a revelation, so pleased i did. On opening the box up, and putting the razor together, i thought that the handle was a little short, but it's not been a problem for me, i can hold onto it quite comfortably, i don't have small hands, but i don't have giant hands either. Onto the shaving, i decided to buy the whole kit, brush soap etc, i got Proraso shaving soap in a dish for sensitive skin, it had good reviews, anyway, with a little bit of trepidation, i soaped my face up and proceeded with the shaving, and what a revelation, no need to be nervous about using this razor, no pressing, just let the razor do the work, after the first pass, the shave was easily as good as a cartridge razor, gave my face another soaping, and went over again, and I've got to say it's the best shave I've ever had, no nicks or cuts, and a really close shave, absolutely no need for any worries on that front. And the price i paid for this was actually less than a pack of cartridge replacements. Yes, i know i will have to buy blades for this, but you can get 100 for a fraction of the price, and, they're easily recyclable, being as they're all metal. To add, i don't shave every day, 2 or 3 times a week, and i don't have coarse facial hair, so for me this razor is great, for others, i wouldn't know, but if you are looking for a first double edge safety razor, from my experience i would 100% recommend this, a nice size, nice weight, good looking, easy to use razor, well made.

Es mi primera y única maquinilla clásica así que no tengo punto de comparación pero me encanta, no puedo ponerle ninguna pega. Es bonita, está bien construida y transmite buena calidad. El cromado es excelente y la sensación de tener la maquinilla en la mano es muy placentera. Las cuchillas se ponen y se quitan con facilidad y la maquinilla es fácil de manejar y no es nada agresiva. Se distingue de otras en que el mango es más corto; yo tengo la mano grande y los dedos largos pero no se me queda pequeña ni encuentro problema alguno manejándola. Una vez probada, ni se me ocurre volver a coger una maquinilla de plástico desechable, que, al lado de esta, parece un juguete chino de mala calidad. P.D.- Si estás leyendo este comentario, es probable que estés pensando pasarte al afeitado clásico o acabes de hacerlo; si es así, tal vez las líneas siguientes, en las que me dispongo a dar algunos consejos a los que son aún más novatos que yo, que lo soy bastante, puedan interesarte; si no, puedes dejar de leer. Una vez que te inicias en el afeitado clásico ya no hay vuelta atrás. Ante ti se abre un mundo de nuevas sensaciones y placeres: maquinillas, brochas, cuchillas, jabones, cremas, lociones, bálsamos, aceites, aromas, texturas te seducirán para que afeitarse cada día sea un momento de placer y relajación en busca del afeitado perfecto en vez de un acto rutinario y enojoso. Pero, como todo en esta vida, requiere de un aprendizaje, algo ingrato muy al principio, hasta llegar a afeitados apurados sin cortes ni irritaciones. La buena noticia es que el primer tramo de ese largo aprendizaje es, creo yo, relativamente corto porque en cuestión de algunas semanas puedes llegar a tener afeitados muy decentes sin cortes ni irritaciones considerables. He aquí, y con toda modestia, algunos consejos, de novato a novato, para este primer tramo de aprendizaje: * Preparación de la piel antes del afeitado: es esencial preparar bien la piel antes de comenzar a afeitarse; mójala y masajéala bien con agua caliente, con las manos, con una toalla o con la brocha previamente sumergida en agua caliente. A continuación es muy bueno usar una crema o aceite de preafeitado, que complete el efecto del agua caliente abriendo los poros, ablandando el pelo y proporcionando un buen deslizamiento de la cuchilla; los efectos de un buen producto preafeitado son muy positivos. Yo estoy usando el Proraso de mentol y eucalipto con muy buenos resultados. * Preparación de los adminículos: sumerge la brocha y la maquinilla con la cuchilla ya puesta en agua caliente unos minutos antes del afeitado. Esto hará, por un lado, que la brocha forme mejor la espuma y, por el otro, que la cuchilla sea más suave en el contacto con la piel. * Protección de la piel durante el afeitado: es fundamental aplicarse una buena espuma en la cara. Merece la pena usar un buen jabón o una buena crema que proporcionen una espuma densa y protectora; algunas sugerencias son el jabón de afeitar Tabac o el Proraso para pieles sensibles. En Youtube hay muchas vídeos que enseñan la técnica para formar una espuma idónea, ni demasiado espesa ni demasiado aguada; haz pruebas por gusto hasta tener algo de confianza en este aspecto. * Elección de la cuchilla adecuada: aunque, según dicen -yo no estoy en esa fase aún-, con el tiempo uno se puede afeitar con cualquier cuchilla, hay algunas que se recomiendan especialmente para novatos por su suavidad y permisividad. Algunas sugerencias por mi parte son las Personna Platinum o las Voskhod. * Ángulo de ataque adecuado: según los expertos, la cuchilla debe formar un ángulo con el plano de la piel que se está afeitando de en torno a los 30º. Por debajo de esos 30º, la pieza convexa de cierre de la maquinilla se desliza sobre la piel llevándose la espuma sin que la cuchilla la toque y, por lo tanto, sin que haya afeitado; conforme el ángulo se va abriendo, el afeitado se torna más agresivo y la cuchilla toca la piel irritándola cuando no cortándola a la menor irregularidad o movimiento en falso. Un buen modo de encontrar ese ángulo es apoyar la parte convexa de cierre de la maquinilla en la piel de modo que el mango de la maquinilla queda perpendicular a la piel y la cuchilla paralela a la piel sin tocarla. En esa posición, puedes ir bajando el mango, de modo que el ángulo de la cuchilla con la piel (el que queda "por encima" de la maquinilla) se va abriendo; cuando notes que la cuchilla toca el pelo has llegado al ángulo correcto y puedes deslizar la cuchilla. Has de tener en cuenta que al afeitar la barbilla y el mentón debes maniobrar la maquinilla para que el ángulo de la cuchilla con la piel se mantenga siempre igual. Cuando lo hayas hecho unas cuantas veces te saldrá automáticamente. Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que basta con que sostengas la maquinilla en la mano y el corte se haga sólo con su peso al deslizarla sin aplicar una presión adicional, que puede llevar a cortes e irritaciones. * Pasadas: el secreto del afeitado clásico es dar varias pasadas. Lo normal es dar una primera pasada a favor del pelo, otra en transversal y, si te atreves, otra a contrapelo. Como, por lo general, las cuchillas de doble filo están más afiladas que las de las maquinillas multihoja desechables, es importante que vuelvas a darte una espuma rica y densa entre pasada y pasada y que no lo hagas directamente sobre la piel. * Duración de las cuchillas: en función de la marca y modelo de la cuchilla y de la dureza y cantidad de la barba, cada cuchilla puede durar entre dos o alrededor de siete afeitados. Conforme se van quedando sin filo, van dando más tirones, lo que convierte al afeitado en más desagradable y agresivo. Dado que, por lo general, las cuchillas son baratas conviene desecharlas antes de que eso ocurra (yo las tiro después del segundo afeitado). * Tratamiento de la piel después del afeitado: es bueno enjuagarse bien la cara con agua caliente, que limpie bien los poros todavía abiertos. Un remedio muy bueno para los cortes e irritaciones es la piedra de alumbre, que se aplica sobre la piel humeda después de haber humedecido la propia piedra; al principio deja un fuerte escozor pero las irritaciones y cortecitos se cierran y desaparecen casi por arte de magia gracias a sus propiedades astringentes y cicatrizantes. Tras dejarla actuar durante uno o dos minutos conviene enjuagarse bien la cara, esta vez con agua fría para que los poros se cierren. Por último es bueno aplicarse una loción o bálsamo con propiedades hidratantes para compensar la sensación de sequedad y tirantez que deja el alumbre. Creo que esto es todo lo que se me ocurre. Ojalá estas sugerencias, basadas en mi propia experiencia reciente y en haber seguido consejos dados por otros más expertos, sirvan de ayuda o ánimo a los que estén pensando pasarse al afeitado clásico o lo hayan hecho muy recientemente y se estén preguntando si merece la pena o no.
