sharpness of shavette vs. regular straight
I have used a shavette now for about 5 months and i like it....but even with new blades i can't shave more than once every 5 days. Anything sooner than that and the razor pulls and rips at my hair. This isn't just a problem with the shavette, as i switched from a mach 3 because it does the same thing. I guess my question is: is a shavette just as sharp as a well honed straight, or is there a world of difference. I now have the money to invest in a real straight, but don't know if I want to if it's going to be the same experience. I first got interested in straights in hopes that a sharp blade that i can keep sharp would help with my beard problem. I'm pretty sure that it's not blade angle, as i have tried every combination of angles and i'm getting pretty proficient at it. Any advice would be appreciated.....thanks
