Are you or is someone you know venturing into the world of wet shaving for the first time? Making the switch to a traditional shaving can be daunting but luckily Edwin Jagger has you covered with this superb Mach3 starter kit. Perfect for beginner shavers or those wanting to make a smart shaving investment, this kit includes a unique Nickel-plated Mach3 razor, an alum block and samples of the hydrating pre-shave lotion, shaving cream and aftershave lotion.

Edwin Jagger is one of only three Gillette Trusted Partners in the world. This partnership has led to the creation of the Mach3 range, combining the iconic Gillette blade system with an expertly crafted Edwin Jagger handle. The Gillette Mach3 head features a long-lasting lubrastrip to enhance razor glide and shaving comfort. Each head contains three sharp blades for a particularly close and comfortable shave. The familiarity of the Mach3 head coupled with the quality build of the Edwin Jagger handle makes this an ideal entry-level razor for first-time shavers.

This Mach3 razor is crafted with brass and finished with gleaming nickel plating, giving it a sleek and stylish appearance. At 132mm (5.2”), you will find this razor particularly lengthy, offering a more secure hold as you trim back that stubble. Weighing 92g (3.2oz), this is considerably heavier than common disposable razors. The extra length and weight actually make this razor easier to use as it stops you rushing your shave and potentially cutting yourself while still giving you the control you need. You can also use the extra weight to your advantage and let gravity do the work, allowing the razor to glide easily across the face without the need to add any pressure.

The three sample pots included in this set provide the essentials for three key stages of the perfect wet shave. Firstly, the hydrating pre-shave lotion is a fragrance-free formulation to be applied onto your freshly washed face. Enhanced by natural plant extracts, it is designed to soften the skin and enhance razor glide to reduce the likeliness of razor burn and post-shave irritation.

Next is the shaving cream. This set comes with an Aloe Vera-fragranced sample pot, which is perfect for those with sensitive skin. The natural properties of aloe vera calm and refresh the skin during shaving while providing a refreshing and delicate fragrance. Used with hot water and a good-quality shaving brush, even a small amount will produce a rich and creamy lather. This combination of brush, hot water and natural ingredients will soften and lift the facial hair in preparation for the razor blade and leave your skin feeling soft and supple.

Lastly, don’t forget to finish your wet shave with this soothing and moisturising aftershave lotion. Fragranced with the zesty aroma of limes and pomegranate, this finishing touch protects and nourishes your delicate skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple and sweetly fragranced.

Even with a generous amount of cream and lotion, it’s likely that you will nick your skin at some point when you first start wet shaving. But there’s no need to stress, this antiseptic alum block is the perfect thing to deal with any post-shave soreness. The medicinal properties of alum help arrest any bleeding, reduce redness and accelerate healing while leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Wet shaving is a learning curve but with this starter kit, you’ll be shaving like a pro in no time.

Presented in a carton packaging that proudly displays the Edwin Jagger logo, this starter kit makes an ideal introduction into wet shaving for yourself or a thoughtful gift for birthdays, graduations, Christmas and other occasions.
