A very fine shave indeed, and the Edwin Jagger head is not to be sneezed at.
I really like the Chiseled Face angel-hair synthetic brush a lot. The handle is interesting, classy, and comfortable, and the brush performs well and feels good. I got an excellent lather from Shannon’s Soaps Barbershop shaving soap.
I have moved the Edwin Jager back up in the rotation because using it recently reminded me what a truly excellent design it is: quite comfortable and quite efficient, easily delivering a BBS result without any trace of a nick or problem. (I am eagerly awaiting a nick so I can try the alum trick: holding the alum bar in place against the nick for a while.) Although the Parker 24C is a smidge more comfortable and efficient (at least for me), the Edwin Jagger has the benefit of standard threading, so swapping handles is not a problem, and the EJ handle can also be used with another (standard-threaded) head. The Parker’s threads seem to have drifted off standard, or they are using a different standard.
A good splash of Woods from Saint Charles Shave, and the day begins.
