You know Chugach68, I did the exact same thing as you, purchasing a cheapo shavette from Sally's Beauty Supply. I think that shavette hated me. I dang near gave up the idea of SR shaving until my wife gave me my first Dovo 6/8. After reading the posts on this subject, I thought of that shavette (which I still have) and I have concluded that I am terrified of that blasted thing!! :-)

After getting str8s and using them for a while I decided to give the shavette another try and with the techniques I learned I was able to get a really good shave with it. I use it every so often when I want to mix things up. That along with my str8s and a couple of de razors I can keep those wiskers guessing at what weapon I am going to use to DESTROY them!!! No matter what I use I still enjoy it a lot more than the fusion and canned goo I used to use.
