    Default Personna Hair Shaper Blades Vs Double Sided Blades Vs Traditional Razor

    I have now had the chance to try the Personna 2.5” Hair Shaper Blades and the Double Sided Blades in cut throat razors plus a few Traditional straight razor.


    Now I love my Traditional straight razors however, the persona blades seem to shave me the best (and oh I wish it didn’t)


    I didn’t like the double sided razors snapped in half, it felt like a super sharp coke can sliding across my face, every hair flexed the blade and as it passed and after cutting I could feel it flex back into place. What an awful feeling!


    My dovo ‘Traditional’ straight razors are nice to shave with; they don’t flex like the double sided razors and cut nicely although they just don’t seem to feel as sharp as the Personna Hair Shaper Blades or Double Sided Blades


    The Personna Hair Shaper Blades are sharp, they don’t flex and they are a nice length although when I use them I feel like I lost what I’m trying to achieve, that sense of the traditional shave.


    In the end I will always go back to my ‘traditional' straight razors and leave the Personna blades for emergencies however I did want some opinions regarding this.

    So... I wanted to find out if anyone has used the Personna 2.5” Razors in a replicable straight razor? (I’m using them in a Dovo shavette with a green sleeve) and what are your thoughts about them?


    Or just your thoughts in general regarding this topic?
