Thread: May have I cut myself BECAUSE the blade isnt sharp enough?

Shavette blades are sharper than most razors you'll ever come across. They're ridiculously sharp. I hear only the japanese Feather is sharper, and I dread thinking about it.

That being said, once you move from a Shavette to a real straight razor, be prepared to have to adjust your technique. As I have stated elsewhere, the only thing Shavettes have in common with regular straights is the grip.

Anyways, good luck, and don't give up!
