Razor from a brush maker?
>>The razor carries the revered A. E. Simpson logo.<<
It really doesn't. lol

Sure, why not? Muhle and Merkur make razors and brushes. The razor just looks like a rebranded Merkur 34C.
EDIT: Insomniac has pointed out that it's a rebranded Sabi razor.

Looks nice and not a bad price. Looks like Merkur parts to me
Ditto... Seems like everything is Merkur, Muhle, or Weishi.
I'm not sure if the Parker DEs are using Merkur heads or not.
anyone tried it out yet?
anyone know where it's made?

It's a sabi razor, 20$ on ebay. Looks nice though.
I think the labelling is terrible, the rest of the razor looks pretty good. But the printing just looks horrible (especially the "Male Grooming since 1919" part).
"Every bathroom should have one."
Haha.
Haha.
Parker makes their own heads. They look like the Merkur heads but they're a lot more aggressive than a Merkur.
This thread doesn't talk about the shave but has a picture showing the difference between the two heads.
Or Edwin Jagger (the Muehle and EJ razors were a collaborative project initially as far as I know).
I appreciate the correction.
Someone else found it in another thread.
So... $14 at ShaveABuck vs. $47 with the Simpsons lettering. Hmmm.
Ya, seems Jagger has pretty much fallen into "distributor OEM" status... the heads are Muhle 89's. I've seen the Chatsworth handle with a D.R. Harris logo on it.
Muhle A/S lotion is the same bottle and same frags as Jagger.
No telling what Jagger actually manufacturers anymore.
I agree, the printing and writing looks very poor made and very poor thought out.
A classy company like Simpssons should have made something more classy for their first DE razor - they can learn something from Feather, Mühle, Edwin Jagger & Pils.
Not goping to be a DE razor I want to hunt down, far from it........
Just like the shaving mug from the same company....come on....you can do better than that for sure....tsk....tsk.....tsk
Here is an interview with Neil Jagger (it is on the other forum)
Which ended when Mühle launched their R41 open comb type series of razors......
Not seen that head in any other razor as of yet.....
They still share the R89 head though, but Mühle seems to be a bit more inventive in both brush and razor area at the moment with their R41 DE razors and new synthetic fantastic performing brushes......where is Edwin Jagger in that picture
