Well... I do like the shavette because it's very very sharp.. and after a couple of shaves I did get some BBS spots on my face..and the bleeding wasnt that bad either..nothing alum couldnt fix. I'm sure I will be happy to use it on vacation when I dont want to take along a strop and a hone.. the shavette also works great atg because its so sharp... I'm having more troubles with that with my "new" crown..

I wouldnt recomend it to newbies like me ... although it does force you to not use force on the blade and use the right angle (or else you will bleed). It has been a great learning curve for me..
