In honor of the tax refund holidays, I just treated myself to a new razor: the Edwin Jagger Kelvin. I've been looking at EJ razors for a while now and this one seems perfect: short handle, knurled grip, and only twenty five bucks! Anyone else got one of these little gems?
O yeah -- the Kelvin is my favorite Edwin Jagger razor. I really like the short handle a lot -- only wish it were several grams heavier. That number 89 shaving head is hard to beat -- good to learn on, and yet I still use mine frequently. If you find you like the short handle, you might be able to track down an iKon Tuckaway handle on ebay or a buy & sell forum. iKon stopped making them. Much like the Kelvin handle, but solid stainless steel!
I used one for about 6 months ... it's a nice razor, but I sold it because I get a shave at least as good if not better from my pre war Tech.
Years ago I had an EJ Kelvin and a Murker Classic 33c in my amazon shopping cart and went with the Murker, which I love. My next razor was the Razorock Mission, which I also love. I also bought a Razorock DE1 which I have not yet used and my Weishi TTO is a solid performer.
