How do you like the handle so far?
I've only used it once so I'll know a little better after using it all this week. Initial impression is that it is well made with grippy well cut knurling. It is a heavy handle and a thick diameter which I like. It is also on the short end of the handle length scale which is not a drawback for me as I do not like handles that are too long.

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend..

After a month of using the Parker 98r... For the rest of December i intend to use hardware & software that i have infrequently used over the last year....Starting with the Edwin Jagger DE 89...It's been a while since i last used the LPL Fougere soap which is a French 100% vegan soap to be honest this vegan soap is absolutely amazing, i only used a small amount but it produced enough lather for the full shave without going back to the sample tub to add more. The slickness is fantastic, as is the fragrance protection & the post shave feel.

The razor & blade duo was absolutely fantastic....Super smooth and efficient...I wasn't sure if the Derby Usta would pair together with DE 89, How wrong i was. They paired together excellently...Wow!

A very enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd London 2000 EdT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.😎
