i have been using a shavette by dovofor about 6 months. ive bought 4 regular s.r.s from an antiques shop. im working on getting the correct stones for honing. and a strop. i have 2 other inexpensive s.r.s i bought just to use to learn how to hone and strop properly. so in the meantime i use the shavette. i really like it. for a blade it uses regular de blades that you snap in half longways. around here ive only been able to find gillette at wal-mart and no name brands at the dollar store. i went to a beauty supply store and got some personna blades. out of the 3 the gillette is the best and the personna are the worst.i know i can get other brands on line. i posted this so mabey some others that have some experence with the shavette could give me some brand names that work well for them. im definitly staying with a s.r. but untill i get a regular s.r. that i can do the upkeep properly ill use the shavette. i just want some ideas on some disposable blades that dont seem to have a serrated edge!,willy
