IMO the Edwin Jagger DE89 clearly has a far better build quality and far better chrome than the Merkur 34C (which I also own)

There is just no comparison, which is why I am about to sell my Merkur
Perhaps I got one from a bad batch because it's cheap and nasty looking in every aspect from build to chrome finish
and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time

Your theory about a bad batch of Merkurs must be correct, I've had mine for....ten years as well as their blades and wouldn't trade it, sell it or buy a new one. Good luck on your newby.

By the Way, great Sleeve. Local work? I'm going to be in Brisbane this fall/spring.

I need all members in my house..... Now :)

If you saw the two shavers side by side you would see what I mean. Even my 15 year old niece (who knows nothing about shaving) reached for the DE89 saying it looked nice when I showed her both

Got that sleeve done in Melb at Tama Tattoos
Glad you like it, thanks :)

I have to shave twice a day because I dislike the five o'clock head shadow.  I will skip the second if I am staying home for the evening, but almost always on weekends.  I have just made it my routine.  It does take time because I have to shave for about 15 minutes each session.
