In 1988, a young man working for a manufacturer of silver cutlery sets was speaking to a friend, they are talking about the shaving razors the man makes for himself. The friend casually suggests the man should open a business and sell the razors. The next day the man resigns and opens up his own company. Established in 1988 in Sheffield, England, Edwin Jagger is a family-run business where integrity, promise and inspired design go hand in hand. Edwin Jagger sets the standard for impeccable male grooming. Over two decades, Edwin Jagger has grown into a global leader in male and female grooming product manufacture. This company deliver products to all corners of the globe, and many leading brands in the UK and USA commission Edwin Jagger to design exclusive ranges of luxury wet shaving items.

The unique appeal of Edwin Jagger is as much to do with the personal input of the owner and founder, Neil Jagger, who designs every piece as with the absolute attention to detail to the highest standards of manufacture (even if UK manufacturing may appear to be in retreat). Edwin Jagger demonstrates traditional English quality style combining it with state of the art design, up to the minute manufacturing techniques and the heritage of long established Sheffield craftsmanship.

Pre-eminent in the manufacture of wet shaving accessories, Edwin Jagger produces an extensive selection of fine badger hair shaving brushes, shaving razors and shaving sets in Sheffield, England, recognised home of the traditional steel and cutlery industries. Edwin Jagger takes responsibility for perpetuating the artisan skills which have been handed down through generations of craftsmen in Sheffield. By introducing the latest technology, this company creates both traditional and contemporary style products.

Edwin Jagger is regarded as the foremost manufacturer of exquisite design shaving razors and shaving sets. Choosing only the finest materials and combining cutting edge manufacturing processes with age old skills of the craftsman, Edwin Jagger produces an unrivalled collection of traditional and contemporary styled razors, using the Gillette Fusion TM, Gillette Mach 3TM and traditional safety or double edge blade systems, satisfying the desires of all discerning wet shavers.

Badger hair has been used for more than two centuries to make the finest shaving brushes. Rather than repelling it the hair absorbs water, and, when combined with a good quality shaving cream or soap, produces a rich shaving lather. All Edwin Jagger shaving brushes are filled with the highest quality, hand graded badger hair from the badger species Meles Meles (a sustainable source). The new range of Edwin Jagger Shaving Creams and Soaps is the culmination of a long period of research into creating the best possible shaving products. A great emphasis on selecting the very best natural ingredients for the range of traditional hard shaving soaps, premium shaving creams and aftershave lotions, many derived from organically cultivated plants. The luxurious lathering proerties of the creams and soaps are enhanced by subtle natural extracta of Aloe Vera, Sandalwood and Sea Buckthorn.
