I just got a Edwin Jagger DE89L and did my first shave with it. Gorgeous razor fine craftsmanship. I also have a Gillette Fatboy that I use on 4 and a Flaretip TTO. Both of these seem to give me closer shave (three Pass) than the EL technique or is it really that mild Crystal Israeli blades. To new to know whats up. I can say after my 1st shave no nicks, no weeps, no Errors.
