Just had my first shave with my new Edwin Jagger (ivory handle), It is very nicely weighted and seemed to glide over my face with a feather blade fitted.
Unfortunatly gliding was all it did, I had a very hard job Getting a close shave.
I used some of the sandlewood shaving cream that came with the razor, got a great lather, shaved WTG, XTG x2, ATG and a polish and still had a hard job getting the hairs under my chin. The Big Roc that I have been using was far more aggressive than this razor.
Everywhere apart from under my chin is very smooth, but i ended up cutting myself quite a bit trying to get my neck sorted.
I saved at 4pm after getting in from work, so maybe my face was a little tired for shaving, I have also shaved every day so maybe I need to give my face a rest as I am still new to de shaving (2 weeks).
Is the jagger known as a mild shaver?
I am waiting for my 1962 Gillette slim adjustable to come from America, maybe I just need an adjustable razor to dial up the shave a little for my tough beard.
