It is definitively easier to shave with the straight razor, although the shavette is easier to handle while I'm on a trip. Also I am scared to take the Clover Brand with me, they might lose the luggage etc.
The straight razor belonged to my granddad who used it until he passed away in 1972. He had several other straight razors ( all US brands).

Interesting observation, that after shaving with the clover I don't have skin irritation while after using the shavette I have serious bumps on my neck area.
Yeah poor old Clover needs some rejuvenation ! How much they charge for an " overhaul" ? ( Cleaning the edges, etc.)
