Edwin Jagger | DE87 Double Edge Safety Razor Octagonal Imitation Ivory

Edwin Jagger is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of luxury handcrafted shaving equipment. Edwin Jagger products are expertly crafted and hand-assembled in Sheffield, England, a city known for its rich industrial heritage. The Edwin Jagger DE87 Imitation Ivory Octagonal DE Safety Razor (Closed Comb) is a traditional and cost-effective double edge safety razor designed to deliver a smooth and comfortable shave.

Crafted using high-quality polycarbonate material, this razor features a sleek and sophisticated imitation ivory finish. The distinctive octagonal handle design provides enhanced grip and control, especially when shaving with wet or soapy hands. In addition to its practical functionality, the imitation ivory finish gives the razor an elegant and timeless appearance. The handle is accented with durable, scratch-resistant chrome plating, while ‘EDWIN JAGGER’ and ‘SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND’ are proudly engraved on the collar and cap respectively.

With an overall length of 93mm (3.7"), this razor offers a standard-sized profile. The practical 83mm (3.3") handle is designed for excellent maneuverability and control, making it comfortable and easy to use. The lightweight handle combined with the heavier razor head creates a balanced shaving experience that helps minimize the risk of nicks and cuts while still offering precise control.

Weighing 68g (2.4oz), this razor has a comfortable, balanced weight that helps deliver a consistently smooth shave. Slightly heavier than most disposable razors, it allows you to let the razor glide naturally across the skin with very little pressure. This results in fewer nicks, less irritation, and a smoother overall shave.

The two-piece die-cast razor head is expertly engineered to provide a shave that is gentle on the skin while still delivering excellent closeness and smoothness. The classic Edwin Jagger closed comb head is chrome plated and hand polished before leaving the factory. Highly respected within the wet shaving community, this razor has earned an outstanding reputation for its shaving performance.

Closed comb razors are the most popular style of double edge safety razor available today. The term “closed comb” refers to the relatively straight safety bar, which may feature subtle grooves while limiting blade exposure. This design provides a mild yet close shave, making it an ideal option for beginners and a trusted daily razor for experienced wet shavers alike.

This razor includes one Feather Hi-Stainless blade to help you get started. Feather blades are the pairing recommended by Edwin Jagger, as their exceptional sharpness works perfectly with the razor head to deliver a smooth, clean shave. All double edge razor blades are manufactured to a standardized size and shape, meaning any DE blade will be compatible with this razor. Replacement blades are widely available from supermarkets, pharmacies, and specialty shaving retailers.
