Edwin Jagger Heads Need Help

**robochoche** · 05-21-2012, 04:24 PM

I am looking to buy my first modern razor and was wondering if the head if different for a Edwin Jagger DE89BA11 vs. Edwin Jagger De89lbl or Edwin Jagger De89bl? I can get either Edwin Jagger De89lbl or Edwin Jagger De89bl on Amazon for $9-$12 because I have a gift card. Or pay full price plus possibly shipping for the DE89BA11? I know the handles are different what else? I know I can get free shipping if I bump my order to $60 or so depending on Vendor but I am trying to avoid the ADs, but I have a nice cache of stuff already. I have been shaving with a DE for about a month and so far have 1 Gillette tech, 1 Gillette black handle SS, 2 flair tip SS. I have also purchased VDH Luxury Set, Razorock MdB and XXX and CO Bigelow Cream. I given a TOBS Sandalwood shave cream thru the Never ending PIF. Aftershaves I have bought Skin Bracer, AV Ice Blue, Clubman and Nivea ASB. I am also going thru my sampler pack. Crystals and Astras have been my favorite so far. IP reds (closest shave by far) are awesome but I cannot use them daily.

Don't know diddly about DE's, but I do know that TESC is having one of their free shipping events right now, so you don't have to worry about bumping up your order.

The heads are the same.

Thanks for the info. Will probably order one from Amazon later today. Think I will go with the lined handle.

Just placed my order for Edwin Jagger De89lbl. Should be here on Wed.

Enjoy. That head is one beautifully engineered piece of chromed loveliness.

Minimal blade flex, nice weight and a smooth shaver. Aggressive enough for yours truly.

I have the Barley handle and my slim/tech only get the odd weekend "drive" these days.

I think you'll find that it's really a pleasure to use.

Jagger makes an excellent head. I have the DE86 with a nice black handle and it is just amazing. That's my daily shaver and I use my milder Gillette superspeed once in a while. Its also good to know that the heads are the same in case you want to swap out handles or something.
