Thanked: 3222Very good to hear that you are having success with the shavette.
I have been a daily shaver for 50 years with DEs, carts, electric and finally straight razors. It might be that your face is not that sensitive but that your shaving technique is a little off with a DE.
Find the right angle to use by placing the top cap of the DE flat on your face with the handle parallel to the floor. Then lower the handle till you just feel the blade on your face. That should be near enough the right angle to use and you have to maintain that around all the curves on your face. Just try and let the weight of the razor do the work for you when shaving as in very little to no weight on the blade. Give that a go and see if you have less or no irritation.
