Thread: EJ Chatsworth Barley Razor vs. Merkur Vision

I am looking to buy an Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Barley razor. It is a beautiful razor and from what I understand is generally less aggressive than the Merkur razors even though it is not adjustable. I currently have a Merkur Vision, which I like but the head of the razor is a little large. I am doing a decent job under the nose and on the chin with the Vision, but this requires very careful work. I am currently using the Vision with the Gillette yellow blades, which so far have come to be my favorite blades.

Are there any Vision owners or users out there who have the EJ Chatsworth Barley razor with the new DE head? Do you like the shave with the EJ better than with the Vision? What are the Pros & Cons of each razor?

Thanks,

DRW
