Edwin Jagger Rubber Coated Double Edge Safety Razor

This would be the DE86RC. I bought one as I got a good deal on it. I tried a few EJ or Muhle razors in the past and liked them but never actually bought one for myself. When I use a DE, I would reach for a Tech with a heavier handle (loaded with a Feather blade) or a Merkur 38C (I pretty much put any blades in there and it works well). Those are my main DE razors. The Merkur spends a lot of time in the scuttle where the tech is on the shelf sometimes. I have other DE but they are at the back as I don't use them very often (maybe once a year).

I wouldn't normally go ahead with a single shave with this razor but this one is pretty much on part with the Merkur. For me the Merkur shaves perfectly. I am curious to see if I can get as many shaves out of the EJ than the Merkur. The grip is really nice. The razor is really smooth and I got a BBS shave.

I didn't find any threads about this particular model so that's why I started one.

Sounds like a great 89 series option! Thanks for your comments!

So is that like the DE86? I knw they have the faux ebony version but this one is different and rubber?
Are those lines on the handle?
What vendor (s) are stocking these?

yes, yes, no, some...

The handle has a piece of rubber (that I can't take off) and the lines are in the rubber. I don't think that they are in the handle. It helps for the grip but I don't think it will be the next revolution when it comes to handles.

I bought mine from MenEssentials in Canada. I would think that any vendor that can carry Edwin Jagger razors could possibly get one
