Thread: Too much information = overwhelming!

Disposable blade SRs come in two basic varieties, those that use standard double edged safety razor blades 1st broken in half by the user and those that take a specific blade for that razor marketed by the razor's vendor.

The 1/2 DE blade shavette razors are reputed to flex and to be unforgiving. Some dull the sharp corner points before loading the blade. It is cheap to try out. Remember that factory DE blades come sharper than just about any newly honed SR. Reading the disposable blade SR sticky is advised before acquiring and shaving with a shavette.

The Feather AC takes special blades and is reputed to come closest to a true SR shave, but is expensive.

I have no shaving experience with shavette type razors, but my barber uses the 1/2 DE blade type to trim my hair on the back of my neck during a haircut.
