The thing i dont like about the shavette is the corners of the blades, i really like the idea of a rounded or spanish blade.

thank you all again, and if anyone else has any tips i'm more than open to suggestions!!

Mr McLean
Yeah, those blade corners can be a real eye-opener (if you know what I mean). Much the same as with a spike point razor I would imagine, having never tried such a razor.

Anyways, if you can survive the Shavette, then a regular straight will be no problem. Just be prepared to adjust your technique, like I said. Shaving with the straight the same way as you shave with the Shavette will likely result in lots of tugging and pulling.

Happy shaving!
