Edwin Jagger 89 OR Goodfella
Thought i would try DE shaving and the OCD has kicked in. I read one review here on the forum of the Goodfella ($55) and the Edwin Jagger 89 ($34) seems to be well liked. Some seem to think that DE's all shave about the same; then, of course, there's the blade itself. Any feedback on a FIRST DE would be really helpful. I like the idea of solid stainless steel as opposed to a plated material but the EJ89 (plated) is said to be finished very nicely. On the other hand, i sure like the look of the black Goodfella (a lifetime gaurantee also):shrug:.
Edwin Jagger 89 or Goodfella
Hello, Michael:
If given the choice, I would definitely opt for the Edwin Jagger 89L (lined handle). I understand Goodfella is a mild razor. For me, the Edwin Jagger is fine razor all around. As for the workmanship, Edwin Jagger's will impress you. You can also try the Muhle 89R. This is the rich cousin of the Edwin Jagger — they both use the Muhle shave head, but the handles are textured differently.
Regards,
Obie
