DOVO "Shavette" Stainless Steel - Worth It?
I got a Kriegar stainless steel straight razor for Christmas. Needless to say I'm dissatisfied.
In looking around I've come accross the DOVO Shavette, which takes safety razors, snapped in half. Forget for a moment that it isn't a "true" straight. What I'm wondering is if the fine experts in this forum think it would cut well enough to get by? That is, would the stainless safety razor itself translate into the sharpness of a good straight razor?
I'm looking to get away from the now-traditional 3,4,5 disposable safetys and move on to something more suited for my particularly thick facial hair: something that doesn't clog after one swipe! But the price of a good straight, combined with having to send a razor off to be honed when it inevitably goes dull, just doesn't fit into my lifestyle right now.
I appreciate any and all input and I love what you're doing here.
